On November 30, the popular Humble Bundle featuring PC games from THQ surpassed $2 million USD in just 16 hours. The deal was – and still is for just over a day – simply incredible. Gamers received Steam keys to Darksiders, Metro 2033, Red Faction Armageddon, Company of Heroes, Company of Heroes: Opposing Forces, and Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor.
What made it an awesome deal was that customers set their own price, but as long as it was above the average "donation" price of $5.69, gamers would also receive Saints Row the Third and DRM-free soundtracks in MP3 and FLAC formats. Customers could also determine where the money would eventually go: to THQ, to charity (Child's Play, the American Red Cross), and/or Humble Bundle.
If that deal wasn't enough to turn heads, the THQ jackpot grew even larger on December 7 as the publisher also threw in Titan's Quest and the Red Faction: Armageddon Path to War DLC. The pricetag didn't change, allowing customers to set their own price. Even more, those who already purchased the bundle received the two new Steam keys without any additional cost.
Now on December 10, the bundle just grew slightly bigger with the inclusion of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Game of the Year Edition. As before, the pricetag is still the same – customers set their own price – and previous customers now have one more PC game key to add to their Steam arsenal without any additional cost.
That said, the THQ Humble Bundle now features six main titles (Red Faction Armageddon, Darksiders, Metro 2033, Company of Heroes, CoH: Opposing Fronts, CoH: Tales of Valor), and the soundtracks. But if customers make a payment over the current average, they get three additional games (Dawn of War, Saints Row the Third, Titan Quest) and the Path to War DLC.
As of this writing, the number of bundles sold thus far is over 778,500 units (the number continues to rise as I type), earning over $4.4 million USD. The time remaining is one day and twenty-two hours, so to get your before time runs out (and to make a donation to a good cause), head here.
