It is libelous to say that a certain game will feature in Humble Bundle

Thanks for libido!

and lolno

Lego bundle? Sweet! I was just going to buy those games, now I'll wait for the bundle. Thanks OP

No. Terrible terrible arguments. Do a favor for game industry, stop assuming the guesses are right and waiting.

I ll stop guessing and start the pirate life.

So by this logic Valve should stop doing Summer/Winter sales as people usually save up for them and dont buy shit until theyve started.

u sey wut?

Do yourself a favor and stop talking shit. You don't know what you're talking about.

Steam sales, not just Summer/Winter sales, does more "harm" than good to their creators. If I take the Tomb Raider Collection that I bought during the summer sale, at a normal price I would never have bought it, but buying it at 75% off, it's like a steal.

also these Indie bundles do more harm on their own, than speculating on what's going to be in the next one. As why buy a new indie when it comes out, because it's almost a guarantee that in a few months it'll be in a bundle, as an example look at ittle dew & Eandor, both very new games, and you get it in a bundle.

Yeah, but not really. I can see what you trying to point out here, but that's just not how the world works.

Mr. Smith earning less money, 'cause he's killing people in their sleep, and not because of "libel". Think about this regarding to games.

Yawn

I was just going to buy an Ubisoft game but now I'm going to wait. Thanks for the tip, OP!

No one is saying that it will happen though, they are just speculating.

Also... Dr Smith seriously shouldn't have a license. I mean 80% death rate? yikes

I think it only counts if its false.

if Dr smih's deah rate is 80% hes either specialized into some very high risk last ditch fatal if not attempted anyway so wha the hell 20% is beter than 0 possibly expirimental surgeries(in which case you aren't going to scare his paitents away and people'll laugh at you for trying) or he should have his licence taken away and people deserve to be warned lol

(...or psosibly his anesesiologis ro hospotal is a faul, or supply end is using shitty drugs or tainted anibiodics or something. maybe they don't believe in bloodyping or sterilizin his tools, maybe he just calls himself "dr" and uses chinese traditional herbalism or holistics or bloodletting and perscribes bear bile or tincture of blue car for crash victims. maybe a psych phd or a nuritionalist shouldn' be removing your appendix, the whole thing should be invesigaed raelly and if true whoever said i hanked. if false then liebl charges can happen)

I don't think they were guess' as to what may be next, just what bundles what be a nice idea.

This isn't going to end well.

Honestly thought there would be a hidden giveaway in this.

Someone needs to link that not sure if serious pic, bwaha.

Can't tell if he's trying to be an armchair lawyer, white knight, or troll...

Edit: Also, for the record, as someone who knows more than absolutely nothing about law, this is almost definitely NOT libel.

Except that the owners of the games have to agree to their games going into discount bundles like that, so they have to be okay with it. Also, acknowledging the existence of sales, and then speculating the potential for various sales, is not libel.

If I have a discussion online with people about fast food and say "Urgh I bet that new burger that McD is bringing out will be terrible", that's not libel. Neither is "That burger is way too expensive, I bet they'll drop it in price when they realise there isn't much interest".

The common power of observation, the freedom to discuss, and the ability to hold and share an opinion, is not libel. Trying to suggest that waiting for prices to drop to a point you're more willing to purchase at is damaging the commercial industry is a bit silly isn't it?

I mean, you could just say you think the Humble Bundle guessing is a boring/tired subject and you don't like it. That would have saved you a lot of typing and pretence.

Thanks for Humble Elder Scrolls Bundle, with the BTA one-year TES Online subscription

Hahahah, you've never actually studied tort law have you.

Face the truth, man. Everybody held off buying Dead Space 2 last week. Why?

If I were a dev and you said that my game would feature in Humble while actually it would not, I would definitely sue you if this rumor causes any significant loss of sales.

Now I'm sad...poor developers... =/

Yes, indie bundles are going to ultimately destroy the industry because everyone will start waiting for bundles. This include consoles gamers who will abandon their console and build a PC.

awww someone learned a new word today, congrats.

"The results? Ubisoft and Warner Bros will earn less money."
Maybe that's the evil plan?
