THQ humble bundle finishes with over 5 Million raised

The basic version of Saints Row 3 was a really bad choice for the BTA. If you want the DLC, you will effectively have to buy the full game again. (It costs less to buy the Complete edition of the game than it does to buy all the DLC alone.)

Making Saints Row 3 one of the dollar games and making something else the BTA, or maybe two other games, probably would have resulted in more BTA buys. Making it Saints Row the Third - The Full Package (the Complete version of the game) might also have resulted in more buys.

Something that might have been interesting would be to make the BTA DLC... Base Saints Row 3 for $1, replaced with Full Package if you BTA...

I got SR3 like 4 months ago for 4$ so I think it was a very bad choice for BTA.

No it isn't. Unless they pull a miracle at Vegas then no.

I think they defaulted on a $50 million loan, so.... It helps, but it doesn't save them.

THQ Humble bundle 2?

it will last them probably about 1-2 weeks but its better than nothing

Maybe Pre-Orders can help them?

Ofc not lol! They are relying on the "Big 3" titles, delayed all 3 to give time to the devs to polish things, etc. Hopefully those game will save them...

Very true. So they may have a lot less than that 5 million :S

Probably about 3 mil to THQ then?

HIB 5 had better games.

On other hand HB don't have much to do after this, just keeps keys out there. Compared to past bundles when they have to provide the bandwith and such, also there might be something about transaction cost on their contract.

Saint's Row The Third was only the first. Then came Titan Quest, Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War Game of the Year Edition, and Red Faction: Armageddon Path to War DLC. Coming in at 7 games, 2 Expansions, 1 DLC, and 5 Albums, that was a pretty fantastic lineup.

Except would everyone who bought the bundle buy those games at the original price point, or even at any price point had they not been in a bundle? Of course not. I myself was thoroughly uninterested in Company of Heroes for instance.

Clearly if everyone bought those games at full retail price, THQ wouldnt be in the mess they are in to begin with.

Why would it be free to play?

I bet there will be a large discount on THQ games during the wintersale for people who live under a rock.

+1

They need to pay off their debts which is around 50 million I believe. Kickstarter is simply for indie developers who don't have the time or money to make games :P

+1 same

Yep.

Bought 2. The BTA purchase all went to THQ, the "little over the $1 minimum" (a gift for a friend) was split three ways with Humble & charity getting the bulk.

Right. About 5 bucks for the game, which is cheaper than its ever been, along with 5 more games was too crappy of a deal for you. And the 500 DLCs are mandatory to enjoy the game, right? Sigh.

I pre-ordered the game and bought all the DLC's. Worth it.

Lol! Reading is so overrated >.>

Because I already own most of their games, so nope.
I would like to pre-order HL3 directly from Steam instead.
