Game news: THQ Humble Bundle

THQ Humble Bundle raises over $3 million!


What is Humble Bundle?

Humble Bundle is a bundle of games that can be 'purchased' here that creates an interesting dynamic. The customer gets to choose the amount they pay (although there is a threshold for certain games to be unlocked) and where this payment goes to. Payment can go between charitiy, THQ, or a tip to the Humble Bundle company to cover there costs and so on. The threshold also changes according to where the average donation is. The current Humble Bundle is for games published by THQ and for donations above $1 you will receive a steam download key for: Darksiders, Metro 2033, Red Faction: Armageddon, Company of Heroes and 2 expansion packs. Those who pay above the average donation (currently at $5.69) will receive a 'bonus' code for Saints Row: The Third. These are all brilliant games, and you can choose to donate all of your donation to charity. It is really up to you! I payed $6 or £3.87 and donated most of this to charity.

What did you do with your donation? Let me know in the comments below!

As of writing this article, the highest donation is at $1650.01 and the total payments is over $3,000,000.
