On Nov. 8th, it will have been one year since I bought my very first bundle! Why is this significant you ask? Well, I didn't collect steam games until I discovered Humble and things have kind of gotten out of control since then XD. I figured I might as well celebrate the day when I first descended into madness :P.

Oddly enough, I first heard about bundles thanks to a Zero Punctation video where Yahtzee mentions after the credits that his book was part of a humble book bundle. If it weren't for that video, I very much doubt I would have discovered bundles and I would have probably went back to playing WoW instead of finding a whole slew of pc games that have pasted me by. Kinda weird when you think about it.

Anyways, here is the train that I promised.

Instead of bumping, please let me know how all of you found out about bundles. Kinda curious what some of the answers will be.

Edit: Forgot to add this, but my first was the Humble Indie Bundle 13.

I found out about HB many years ago on a game I used to play. A friend had a friend who had a game in a bundle. I thought it was just a one time thing. Didn't realize Humble would have bundles over and over. Completely forgot about it until I found this site one day.

Bumping this.

I think the first time I heard about bundles was through a friend who bought the first Humble Bundle. IIRC the first bundle I bought was at Indie Royale (don't remember exactly what was in it).

Happy anniversary!
I really not sure how I discovered bundles. But I think I read about Humble Bundle website on the news, when it was still young and media was still reporting on new deals there.

Almost the same thing happened to me. Ages ago I purchased the retail DVD of the orange box only to find that I had to install steam in order to play the games. After finishing Half-life 2 and Portal I stopped using steam and completely forgot about it.

Then I read about this new thing (for me) about paying what you like for bundles and my first purchase was Humble Indie 6. I created a new steam account because I had forgotten about my previous one. To make the story short, three years later I own over 600 games.

Thanks for the nice train :)

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.... So you're telling me you acquired around 4000 Steam games just this year? Haha

My first bundle was Humble Indie Bundle 5. I didn't even buy it, my friend did. I just stole the Steam keys. He just wanted the DRM-free copies. Hahaha

If I'm not wrong, I discovered bundles by friends, I think I was aware about bundles before really playing games on Steam x)

Thanks for the looong train, just entered 1 giveaway but thats totally fine :)

I find out about bundles soon after I signed up on Steam (this January), I was browsing through a lot of games and added them to my wishlist, I was also reading many reviews and someone mentioned something like "I got this game in a cheap bundle (...)" so I did research on that, bookmarked all common bundle sites and checked everyday. Until I joined EpicBundle and other bundle tracking groups on Steam that made my life a little easier. :D

I think it was the first Origin bundle. It created a lot of buzz in forums, and then the rest was history...

FIrst heard about it from a technology blog. It linked to one of those humble bundle youtube videos and liked how it promoted charities.
