jamyskis: So essentially we have a bundle of useless stuff that nobody can make any use of, and a game - in Steam key-only form no less - that is likely to be half that price two months from now on Steam.

To be honest, I found myself rather disappointed at the Steam-only rebundles, but I really did not think the quality could sink this low.
I took one look at the bundle and thought WTF... seriously Humble... how the mighty have fallen....oh well.

What a disappointing bundle, but I am guessing the price points come from BS Devs, and all is not just on HB. Whatever, I don't care about buying each and every game.

Yeah, that Banner Saga "bundle" is really just a bad joke! :D

Somewhat interestingly, the average purchase is sitting snugly at $11.61 (despite the extremely low sales).

Which does beg the question - how many of them have paid under the average, mistakenly thinking they were going to get the actual The Banner Saga? A lot, by the looks of it. And Humble's destroyed reputation is never more apparent than on the Reddit for it right at this moment (yes, I know certain individuals are now going to respond to this with strawman arguments about how the reputation aspect is a point of view and that Humble is the best thing since sliced bread, yada yada yada)

WIthout any evidence - not sure. Probably a few, this "bundle" was not the best one.... However, I do not rule out that someone put in $1 just to try the faction thingy either. From what I see from comments - people are in arms about the bundle and not buying, not that many actually complaining after having bought it wrongly.

(and I am not sure you use the term "strawman" correctly there. Good use of the poisoned well, though :))

humble is still arguable. Bundle, not so much.


BTW, anyone else is hoping that the bundle with Aquaria DRM-free shows up again?

The chances for bundle with multiple publishers to get repeated are lower than the single publisher ones because every publisher has to agree to the re-bundling.

And Aquaria in particular is in a pretty bad situation I know.

But precisely for that, that's what I'm hoping for.

The DRM-Free version of Awesomenauts was always a joke at any rate.
