What tier will you buy?
I don't know!! Seems good and bad at the same time :s

I was planning to add to BTA, but:
"The "increase your order amount" feature has been disabled for this bundle. If you would like to ask for a refund and re-purchase the bundle at a higher price to receive more content or simply to further support the bundle, please contact our customer support team"
Is that typical for weekly bundles?

I could see them getting swamped with requests for this. Anyway, I don't like this. It sets a bad precedent for the consumer.
edit: for what it's worth I think this was done because of the Focus Selection Pack being in tier 4 in order to avoid giving a lot of duplicate games out in the case of someone upgrading to that. They should have done it so it disables that tier alone though. Either that or simply give out individual keys for everything to avoid the issue entirely. Anyhow, there really should be a warning up front that the bundle can't be upgraded later.

+1 -- Changing the status quo in an anti-consumer (but also anti-reseller, and, incidentally--unfortunately for us--anti-SteamGifts) direction was also very much on display in the previous 2K Bundle.
Click that "Choose where your money goes" tab, and crank the charity slider all the way to the right. (It's stupidly hard to tell, unfortunately, but it's the middle slider that says "Fondation de...")

Wouldn't.. wouldn't you want to give $0 to the publisher, instead?
They're responsible for it in the first place [Humble has repeatedly clarified that all key structure decisions are entirely out of their hands], and Humble's quality has been dipping of late because they went low on funds and had to fire a lot of staff.
Your suggestion doesn't seem to make any sense at all :X

I'm not saying for all bundles, just this one. It sends them a message that this is not acceptable to us as consumers. If there is no option it is because of Humble's system and shortsightedness in it's implementation. I see no reason why people who would have wanted to upgrade to tier 2 or 3 (which probably account for the vast majority) shouldn't have been able to do so without having to jump through the hoops of an already overburdened support system. I'm afraid their solution is not a good one. Also, there was no warning up front. If Humble is to blame for anything it is those things. I can see your point about the publisher though and them handling this in such a sloppy way. I'd say allocate it all to charity for this one then.

The reason for this is because of the $40 tier for this bundle - if you buy it, you don't get the keys for the lower tiers except for the ones which aren't in the $40 tier pack. If they allowed upgrades, then they'd be giving extra keys for those games.
Not that I approve of this - similar bundles in the past never had a problem with giving away a few extra keys to those who were paying a premium anyway, and I'm surprised that Focus would care so much about it - but there is a reason for it, and it's at least unlikely that it'll happen with the majority of other bundles.

WOw! It's ridiculous how quick you are with your PSAs. I checked humblebundle like 10 minutes ago and nothing. Checking steamgift forums and boom here's the post from rachel. :)

How much would you say it will fall?
Lowest I have seen yet: 4.80 (just a for a couple of seconds)

Hmm the "classic" tab-technique... Well done! :V
Don't think it will go down below that point.

Am I the only one that never sees a decent bundle's BTA fall?
Looking at the poll there's a respectable number considering the $15 tier which would suggest to me that this will only go up and that initial prices are probably the lowest they'll get.

Going for tier 3, missing 2 games of every tier and at least 2 wishlisted of those.

Thinking in getting it just for Contrast (and maybe Bound by Flame?) and also Yesterday in T1

Mmm, that makes it sound like you are not getting what you paid for, nor what they advertise.
Anyone confirm humble TAKES away the individual game keys from the lower tiers if you buy the $40 tier?
(example, buy $15 tier, get many single game keys,.... up your purchase/donation, and those keys are magically no longer available)
Comment has been collapsed.
but you can't increase the amount in this bundle :(
Comment has been collapsed.
You can't up your purchase amount with this bundle, so there is nothing for them to take away.
I believe that the Focus Selection pack is essentially considered it's own separate purchase.

It's really a trick and not even worth it, which is why they're connecting it to the bundle. It was only $26 during the Steam Winter sale.

Indeed, this is (I'm guessing) probably the reason for the no-upgrade rule in the first place.
If it were the other way round (you received Tier 1, 2 keys and ALSO the big package key), you'd also no doubt get people complaining that their tier 1 and 2 keys that they activated first were wasted when they later upgraded to the $40 package.
In a way, it makes the whole thing less messy. Would have been nicer if they were more transparent about it though, not just showing you once you've already bought the bundle.

Might get tier 1 for Yesterday.
Tier 2 only interested in Cities XL Platinum and Bound By Flame.
But overall seems like a great bundle.

I'm looking at the historical low for the Focus Selection Pack, which was only $26 in the Winter sale:
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/89144/
I almost kind of wish I would have gotten that then, because $40 doesn't seem so hot, and even the $15 tier I'm having second thoughts about now.

Probably is, but I didn't contact them to find out. That's whatever is on https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I bought the first tier and was going to think about the second tier later in the day because I only wanted two of the games in it. When I noticed I couldn't just bump up my order amount, I didn't bother looking anymore.

$15 since I want Styx and don't have half of the rest. Really a solid bundle :)
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah just looking it up would currently be 24.73 USD from NZ & 25.99 USD from US store either way a lot cheaper than tier four
