EA's Humble Origin Bundle offers Dead Space 3 for $1

My only major disappointment with Origin is that it won't even download games if your OS doesn't support them. This is bs.

It's like paying $1 to ruined the series for yourself. That's a great deal. Honestly, if you enjoyed Dead Space and 2, please don't try this.

Anyone else notice how the Sims 3 keys changed from starter pack to being indvidual, lol I have an extra copy of it now.

Nothing like promoting your company by providing keys to a game like sims 3 where by the keys are not redeemable on your DRM tool, Origin

AT least its not called the EA indie bundle.

Its a good deal on itself but on the other side they are not doing it for charity. What they are doing is trying to lure people into installing origin with games that wouldn't sell much in present times. WIth the promise that once you are installed they can milk you with other stuff

What?! Who are you and what have you done with our EA??

Jk, is it just me or are they trying to redeem themselves? They seem to be doing normal/good things lately.

Someone told me these bundles are popping up on eBay. I checked myself, and it's true.

Not sure how to feel but I think it's shameful. Probably these were $1 donations and trying to sell it at a high price.

At least they donated something, but it doesn't make it right.

I am tempted to buy that bundle for the minimum of 4,50 EUR and install Origin with a temporary account on a separate disk (so EA can't spy on me much).
But then again, for a few rounds of BF3 even that's not worth it.

However, I could try and trade the keys for actually good games instead.

Oh the dilemma I'm in ... On one hand I absolutely despise EA, on the other hand I could do some good for charity and profit for myself too, but can I justify dragging some poor souls into the evil ...

I think EA accidentally switched Battlefield 3 and Dead Space 3 in the bundle. It is so surprising that a game released this year isn't locked behind the pay-above-the-average gate. Or was DS3 a failure in terms of returns?

I purchased this, so does that increase the sales numbers to impress stockholders/investors?

I wish the first Crysis and Dead Space 2 were included as well.

yeah, release this on steam. i may get it!

Ugh. This sounds like a great deal and all, but I just don't want Origin. I have Dead Space 1 and 2 on Steam (along with hundreds of other games) already, and I would rather have the whole collection all in one place. I don't want to download an entirely new client just for 1... MAYBE 2 or 3 games...

This is sweet, but I payed $60 for those games!

Guys come on now, this hate has now become unreasonble. I've practically criticised EA everytime (with good reason) but this time they're making an effort to make things right despite what we may think their intentions are. Bottom line, you all get a huge consumer surplus. Lets just consider this a rebate for all the times they've ripped us off and leave it at that.

Not sure where all these fake Origin haters are coming from, but the only reason real gamers don't like Origin is because it's unnecessary competition to Steam.

EA thought they could waltz in and steal Steams customers with less and weaker sales. There are no issues other than that. Battlelog would have been on BF3 regardless of Steam or Origin support. Steam has ads too, every once in a while they have an ad at launch showing if a game is now available, on sale, or for pre-order.

I'm not defending Origin, I don't like it because it's useless, but don't lie to yourself saying that it has all these errors and ads and other bs.

I don't understand you guys anymore. I understand EA has done a lot of shitty stuff in the past, but here they are, finally trying to do some good, and you guys are shitting all over it. They are practically giving away games in order to raise money for several charities, and you assholes just wont let it go. "Oh, HumbleBuckeye, EA is just doing this to get more people to use Origin". You mean to tell me that a company is trying to promote their product?! *GASP* "oh, but Origin is so bad, I dont want to use it" Two things, 1) Have you even tried it or are you just jumping on the hate train and 2) So what? No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy it.

Half of you ****-tards have probably never even experienced anything truly bad with EA, but you are just jumping on the hate train 'cause its the "cool" internet thing to do, and the other half are just neck-beards who wont forget the past and wont let it go. You are the lowest of the low, because all that you are doing is hindering EA from raising more money to donate to charities. Get over yourselves and move on.

If you did donate to the humble bundle, then I thank you with all my heart. Please I encourage all of you to donate to this bundle and help out the charities. Its for a great, great cause and the games that you get aren't too bad either.

EA just went from the Worst company to almost not the worst.

well done indeed!

ps shame they don't do consoles humble bundles to.

I made my donation already. Sure, I already have a couple of these games for my consoles but I don't mind if it's for charity.
