I've been wondering for some months now: who actually ran airports for aliens before the dogs came?
An average price if you really want Mafia III: Definitive Edition and the rest as an added bonus.
For just Mafia III DE you can find it for ~3€-3.5€ in the steam group buys group.

Humble Bundle made a mess once again.
There is no package that can be activated "only in" these countries, yet there's an EMEA package assigned to Europe (perhaps to other regions too) that is available anywhere else but "not in" these countries.
So... either the gift link notification is completely wrong, and should list only the SEA countries (meaning that you receive sub/129507 which can be redeemed only in SEA countries), or you get a ROW key (sub/123195) and the notification straight up lies.
Based on the fact that Taiwan receive this ROW package, I'd say that the other countries from SEA (Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Viet Nam, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Brunei Darussalam, Macao) will also receive it.
Do you perhaps have access to the sub id? (in case you redeemed the key, you can see it with ASF or perhaps with the SteamDB extension).

Fun trick whenever something mentions a race. Fill that race in with another one, and see if it makes you uncomfortable or not.
French creators bundle.

Mexican creators bundle

Unless we're getting other themed bundles of minorities, this bundle seems somewhat racist. The excuse it is done for black history month is dumb, as these devs arent historical figures, or subject to the same historical pressures.
The ones we should be focusing our support on, is devs in 3rd world countries, and peoples that are actually suppressed, such as Chinese Uighurs.
But i guess they'll use whatever excuse they can to make a buck. So there will inevitably by a Pride bundle in a few months...
All of it makes me cringe

This post made me cringe. You are being racist yourself, while attempting to deflect it.
You have no idea what you are talking about. That bundle is supporting a charity that helps train young people of colour get jobs in the tech industry. It's not about celebrating a race, it's about making a difference in the lives of disadvantaged young people. You can't deny that in America a disproportionate number of black people are disadvantaged. And that's down to generational racism. Their grandparents and parents didn't have many opportunities open to them due to racist employers and such not allowing opportunities. Giving someone from a disadvantaged background a chance to break the poverty cycle and compete on the same level as everyone else is amazing.
Chinese Uighurs are being persecuted, sure. People in third world countries are being suppressed, sure. But that doesn't mean that people shouldn't reach out to and help people in their own locality to follow their dreams.
And if you still feel that's wrong, start a fundraiser and make money for a charitable cause that you do believe in. Don't just talk about it and use whataboutisms because it makes you look foolish. ;)

I really loved the part "everyone else is fucked? sure, but fuck them and their problems while we talk about this.".
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you read what you wanted to read from that. Because that's certainly not what I said.
This guy basically said "fuck black people, they're grand, what about the third world and the Uighurs?"
It's like the people saying "fuck refugees, what about the homeless?" Eh, can't we do both. Why does everything have to be one or the other with these people?
Comment has been collapsed.
there is people in way worse situation than black people. people nowadays have a hard time when they are asked which rights they don't have compared with other-whatever-people. this cherry pick racism is kinda funny, because no one cares about racism against other races in places like south africa. when people comes with i love black spreading racism against everyone else but black, i'm pretty sure they just arrived in earth recently. those people exactly the personification of "everyone else is fucked? sure, but fuck them and their problems while we talk about this.". i must say i don't even have to address this matter, because these people adopt this point of view for everything they talk while they talk. in this case, take this matter as a mere example.

Interesting to be called a racist, just because i think there's too much focus on one group that while historically disenfranchised, is hardly the only one.
I'm simply pointing out the oddity that other minorities arent focused on as much, even while currently living in worse conditions.
Also when it comes to charity, it is the reason i ever began buying indie bundles, and specifically HB. The death of the sliders was the end of the charity focus HB. Now it's just done for advertising and self promotion. Same as promoting a new search engine because they plant trees. I's done for money, not to help anyone.
Considering the site, and it's original purpose of being more of a charity than a business, this bundle seems like a sad cash grab on the level of businesses going rainbow for pride month.
Classically i'm used to thinking of the historical disparities of race during february. Current disparities are real, but it's more between rich and poor, than one race and another.

You can still use sliders. They are just hidden twice. First click "Adjust Donation", then click "Custom Amount".

Somewhat agree: Charity bundles for a certain cause (like Problems in Black Neighborhoods, Homophobia, Animal Cruelty, etc) is imo a great thing!
But I dislike the current "Support female/black/disability/gay/etc creator", because these things should NOT matter! I want to support creator who make GREAT GAMES! So a "Hidden gems from great designers" bundle could support also eg black creator, because they deserve it, not because buyer are emotional manipulated >_>
PS: Same on steam with the "Female lead" tag :P

Thx for getting the point i was trying to make.
People are too quick to accept this kind of low effort virtue signaling. But to me it reeks of manipulation and abuse of a real issue, similar to how BLM raked in money for its leaders, but still has yet to focus its messaging on police violence over classic angst over racism.
People arent going to stop hating others for petty reasons because certain words are outlawed, or attitudes are unpopular. They're just gonna find other ways to hide their hate.
I'd rather the racists stay dumb and obvious, wand allowed their own platform, so we all have something to point to and say, "dont be like that."
You make a great point about being more specific with a bundle and what it supports. Not just bundle for black history or pride month.
I wish we'd use black history month as a theme, and do the same with other months. Simply to communicate the reality of live from other large groups perspective. We at least need months for, China, India, Russia, South America and Africa. I hear some news about these places, but dont know much about their history for the past 50 years, or how it had effected the people.

Same to you; nice to see someone, who looks at politics with the REAL "woke" eyes :) I agree with everything, btw.
Nice idea with "more months"! I remember, when the world tried to advertise "World Peace" itself. That was nice! So perhaps there are not enough months for all suppressed countries (sad...), but with a "World Peace Month" we could talk about all these histories and what problems they still face.
And for the original topic (Your original comment plays into it): A "Great Games from Africa" bundle or something would be okay for me, because then its not about race etc, but the games from a certain country. PLUS some gamer could be surprised about the origin; what do you think?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, my perspective and framing are a touch extreme.
I just get sick of the fake virtue signaling, and pandering to the lowest common denominator.
The result being some kind of marketing hype, and cash grab, instead of actually achieving any positive results.
But even the theme of their focus gets lost.
"Your purchase will also help support Gameheads, who envisions a world where low income youth and youth of color are equipped to thrive and succeed in any field they choose, including the tech and video game industries."
Would be better to make a good bundle of games that will sell really well, and use the proceeds to benefit some kind of humanitarian effort. Plenty of areas that have actual slavery today, and they could bring attention to that.
So in the end i'm glad they say they're doing something that will help the underprivileged, but it's also kinda ridiculous.
Gameheads is a small US organization in one of the most wealthy states, in one of the most wealthy nations. So not something i'd go out of my way to donate money for, as i dont live in the Oakland area. Also, it's about underprivileged youth, not issues dealing with black history or the community.
Comment has been collapsed.
100% agree. I'd rather have a charity unlike gameheads (nothing wrong with them however) that really helps people in third world countries, as, like you said, the Uighurs.
though until humble does something like that, this is still a relatively good effort and i appreciate that. (though yeah, maybe the games should be better haha)

Making a couple of those might get Humble Canceled on Social Media.
Not that this mean much looking at the Hogwarths Legacy boycot success rate xD
I personally think that showcasing a specific group talent is fine .... but this bundle is purely a PR Stunt specifically targeting all the attention such stance will get them .... same with the Pride bundle thats in few months :)
For me i don't rly care much if at all about the background or personal and sexual life of the people who make the games i play .
You can be a telletubie for all i care , and ill still dig the game despite all the nightmares that show gave me as a kid :p

Considering the month, this feels relevant and is a pretty dope article.

Only game interesting is Mafia III but I already own it. I Think I might have gotten it when it was part of maybe humble choice? Anyways mafia III is pretty decent game - only issue I had is it was/can be kind of repetitive for the different missions and stuff.

They last only for the first 90 days after activation, so unless you want to play the game ASAP they can be ignored completely.
