Its pretty rare for a AAA budget developer to put their games on HB.

I usually just buy bundles off of HB for indie games and mainstream non-indie games on Steam sales or Amazon digital PC sales.


THQ(while it was dying) and EA gave it a shot, I bet Bethesda will one day. 

I know, I'm saying in terms of how long HB has been around :P.

Its pretty rare. I hope Bethesda does one......I really want to get into Elder Scrolls and Fallout *-*!


The one currently is actually pretty good one.

They are pretty damn good even though they dont represent as much value as PS+.


I had PS+ and Humble Bundle is a better deal.  The free games I downloaded with PS+ will only work as long as I'm subscribed to PS+.  All the PS3 games I downloaded wont work with PS4.  I can play all my Steam Humble Bundle games without having to pay another penny for as long and on as many different computers as I want.

 

Humble Bundle rock! ... and it raises a lot of money for charity!



Stop hating and start playing.

I bought GMod the other day on steam and thought to myself "this will never be in a humble bundle so i should be safe"

One day later... .-. WHYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!

And who is to say PS+ isn't giving money to the biggest charity of them all Sony! (Sorry couldn't resist, I love them both.)

These sales are amazing but they have devalued the games to the point of insanity. Literally giving stuff away for free while funding the game costs by selling console versions seems to be the business model.

Not like they drop to 50-70% off on consoles just mere weeks and months after release other than few exceptions.

PS+ costs what, $60 a year?

For $60 a year you could get anywhere from 60-80 games if you spent $6 a pack for everything.
If you only pay $1 for each pack you could get at-least 240 games a year, that you pretty much keep forever.

How many games do you get in a year with PS+?

Normally it is $50 a year. It has been on sale lately for $30 a year.

To make matters worse, they released the Humble store so they are directly competing with Steam now xD!

Dem feels to the wallet.

Honestly there is not much new there. I mean it is not like they offer drm free copies of the games like they originally did. The prices they offer are the same ones that show up on steam sales. Amazon and Green Man Gaming both offer better prices and promotions these days.

Some of the games in the Humble Store are DRM Free. Actually it looks to be about 80% of them...

i have so many AAA pc games that I bought with the change from under my cushion. The best part is they all look like ps4 games with my nice components. I will never understand how LA Noire, Batmans, Darksiders, Just Cause 2, Sleeping Dogs, Max Payne 3 and on and on.... (i owwn like 30) I will never understand how they can let their masterwork go for less than an NES game on eshop. Good thing tho, it lets me have money to afford High priced Nintendo software.

Thanks. That's good to know. Steam has been craping out lately. It's good to diversify.
