it's a separated key, you get one for the bundle, and one for saint row the third (but you only get that key if you are above average)

Both.

Both. Also to get banned.

I just hope people don't abuse the whole Humble thing
some money goes to charity
also THQ gave us all some of the nicest games around and business is not going that good for them...

As far as I know, giving away bundle games separately is now allowed.

It's against the rules, and they're knowingly attempting to up their contributor values via an invalid key because the key is region restricted. They are being banned, worry not.

SR3 is provided as a separate key in addition to the bundle, not as part of it. Whilst they ask that you not separate games from the bundle you can't do that anyway. There shouldn't really be an issue with passing on SR3 keys.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Question. Why Saints Row 3 is considered bundle game (since gifter would have to pay those $4 to get it, so it's like -90% sale), while games like Rome (with its $1) aren't?
Or there's some different reason here, like "it's not really permitted by bundle-owner, but tons of people would give them away anyway, so at least there's going to be a little punishment for that"?

Both?

they should just mark SR3 a $5 contributor value instead of adding it to bundle list. u cant get SR3 @ $1. In a stupid way, this also affect sales of bundles by a small degree.

Because you get $6 real contribution value for giving away the whole bundle (the right way to do it). You get bundle credit for giving away just SR because it's worth much less than $40 now.

You want your 6 bucks give away the bundle or buy a $1 below average bundle to give away with SR.

I agree that if the site wanted to split out SR for $5 and do a "THQ Bundle (SR Only)", that would work (or if they just wanted to have the regular SR 3 be worth $5 like Darkkrows suggests). But they haven't chosen to go down that route.

If Humble Bundle adds a game to the above average, then argument that SR is worth $5 is no longer valid.

I think the site doesn't want to encourage breaking up bundles (this is a guess). It's either the whole below average version, or the whole above average version if you want real contribution value. My guess is that this is a much easier policy to implement too - it's somewhat rare that the BTA value corresponds directly to 1 game key.

I think any argument that SR3 should be worth $5 real value would be stronger after the bundle is over and it's known that it is the only thing you get for $5. But again, I'm not sure the site will go for that argument.

Ok, Ive read the topic and Im still confused. I got this bundle with SR3, but I already have SR3 Franchise Pack. I bought it mostly for Metro 2033, so I want to give SR3 away here. Will I get any contribution for this or nothing?

separate key from humble bundle i guess.

This bundle thing is bad in one way actually. I got Bit. Trip. Runner Steam gift (gift not key) and it was bought. I gave it away and I didn't get shit. Why? Because I had given away bundle games before because I didn't need them. I want my fucking contributor value for Bit. Trip. Runner god damn it! I don't give a fuck about what I get from indie bundles and what I don't get for them but atleast give full amount of money for games that are giftable! This system sucks balls...

Still confuses me to be honest..
