Howdy guys!
Today's post is going to touch on something that I'd heard about before, but never actually taken part in till now!
The Humble Bundle.
Now, this site offers weekly games deals, where you pay about as much as you want. For example this weeks bundle includes titles such as Botanicula, McPixel, Thomas was Alone and The Showdown effect.. and if you pay more than the average(for this bundle it's $2.50) you also get Amnesia: The Dark Decent. I believe these bundles usually stick around for a week.
However, this isn't the bundle I wanted to talk about.. they have a special one going on at the moment and they called it the Humble Origin Bundle, where you can pick up a number of EA games for as much or as little as you'd like! If you look at the picture below...
These are the games you can get.. and as the picture states, if you pay more than the average payment so far($4.81 currently), you get Battlefield 3 and the Sims 3 + Starter Pack too! I'm not usually one for actually buying games but this deal is just too good in my opinion! If you were to buy these games separately you would be paying somewhere around $215.00 - and you can pay $1.00 if you like. Though as said, you won't get BF3 and The Sims 3 then.
You get all the game keys on Origin, plus a few of them on Steam too. Though it looks like only the Sims is available on a Mac however. Sorry!
On their site, it also tells us that the deal will be available for another 11 days, so if you haven't got it already.. what are you waiting for?! A cool thing that I saw when I made the purchase, is that you divide the cash up how you want it to be divided! Like, you can say that Humble Bundle get nothing and everything that you pay goes to the charities.. oh yeah, EA stated that all of the money they would get, is going to charities. May be a massive PR stunt by EA, but hell.. it's a damn good one!
The charities they picked are the Human Rights Campaign; Watsi; the San Francisco AIDS Foundation; the American Red Cross; or the American Cancer Society.
According to the website, so far they have sold over 1,215,000 bundles of these games.. with an average purchase of $4.71.. but it also shows the total payments.. which is at $5,847,581 and steadily rising as they sell more bundles. I can only dream of the totals after the 11 days is up! How much do you think it will hit?
That's it from me,
Ciao for now!
p.s. of all the games I bought in this bundle, it pains me to say that I've played The Sims the most.. curse it and it's family, or is that my sim family?
