Humble Staff Picks Bundle: Nick

Nick's picks. Welcome to Humble's new Staff Picks Bundle, put together by a certain red furry fellow named… well, you know! Our real Nick was recently diagnosed with MS and chose the charity to help other folks who are also in his shoes. But don't get too sad panda! You can get further information and find ways to help at http://www.nationalmssociety.org.

3 tiers, 7 games total!

Bundle ends in 14 days!

Lowest BTA.... $3.04


Update 29th March 2017:

The developers for "The Secret World" decided to revamp their game and make it F2P instead!

Today we’re writing to you to announce that The Secret World will be relaunching this spring as Secret World Legends, a shared-world action RPG featuring over 100 hours of story-driven quests and revamped gameplay and progression systems that will be completely free to play.

Read more here and here!

Thanks to Mihey3Z for the notice!


Note:

The steam store page for "The Secret World" is not available in Asia and other regions, but you CAN activate the key! And you will receive one as well when you buy the bundle! :) https://twitter.com/humblesupport/status/801146044520206338

Oooh yeah, gimme that BTA!! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Edit: This is pretty good and so is the charity, why is BTA falling so much (=ΦÅΦ=)

Because people already have everything? No point in getting that $14 Grim Dawn just after $12 Monthly and the subsequently high saturation of marketplaces.

Not everyone subscribes to the Monthly bundle though, and all of the games are bundled for the 2nd or 1st time ever 🤔
Oh well, good bundle for me atleast 😸

Nope, and I agree, this would be a really solid bundle otherwise! But since there are so many people who do subscribe or trade games, I'm not at all surprised the BTA was so low at the start... I'm guessing it's going up now because the most active bundle buyers (who are generally more interested in Monthly and usually trade as well) buy quick or not at all.

BTA $3.68 now...

Indeed, here is a list:

  • Volume (February 2016)
  • TIS-100 (July 2016)
  • Legend of Grimrock II (November 2015)
  • Infinifactory (May 2016)

Grim Dawn I am not going to count because tier 3 is more expensive than the Humble Monthly bundle that it was in. There have been other 'monthly-game' re-bundles in other bundles of course too. Now this begs the question.... does this not hurt and/or kill the incentive to subscribe to the Humble Monthly bundles if many of the games are just going to be re-bundled for significantly less within a matter of months anyway?

At least they had the courtesy of asking a little more for Grim Dawn, not completely pissing their subscribers in the face. Yay?

sigh Why, HB? This site is really getting more attractive as a store than a bundle site for me, week by week. (But as a store it is still my current second favourite, so, yay! ^.^)

Oh, by the way, Legends of Grimrock makes the BTA drop like a stone. I guess people should refresh like crazy before those appear who'll buy it for T3.

BTA = Beat the average

Oh yeah, makes sense, thanks. But isn't that more likely to go up over time?

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

They set the initial average price, normally around $6 or so. Usually it starts out dropping as people buy the $1 tier during the first few hours. Later the average price climbs again. So the point is that there is generally a minimum for the BTA price.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Only when the higher tier isn't so expensive and/or something lots of people don't already have.

Grim Dawn was just in a Humble Monthly, so lots of people have it already, thus, fewer are going for that tier right now, thus, the BTA is dropping.

Yeah that makes sense, but well, now its rising again...

Yeah, eventually, it will start to stabilize and/or rise, but the initial drop is due to that factor.

You don't, it is locked the moment you pay. The BTA amount will be the one you saw on your page when starting the payment (meaning you can leave the page open for a week and keep that price).

I'm the same way. I tend to skip the monthly bundles strictly due to bundles like this.

I'm trying to at least finish some slowly though. I have a few extra short games on the side that I play occasionally just to work on the backlog. It's working good but not as fast as I'd hope, with the Overwatch craze I'm having now lol

I kinda expected that the key should activate fine, as with any other region-locked games, but the real problem comes after... Since the game's an MMO, and there's no server near Asia, it'll probably be unplayable due to the lag =.=' Gonna check out some comments first before deciding whether to activate it or give it away :)

Does it give the same message as Final Fantasy XIV and Ghost in the Shell? Can't check it, since I'm not in SEA anymore.

The Secret World could possibly be region locked as well, since most MMOs in Steam are not available in SEA.

That's how I played it. Apart from the dungeons you can do most of it solo. Since I last played it, I hear they've rebalanced the combat. That was always a bit annoying.

Last time I heard, it is designed to be pseudo-SP. Cannot comment on being fun or no, for me all ARPGs are pretty much the same.

And that's kind of what I was driving at. To me the novelty or appeal of the base game being in tier 2, even as cheap as it currently is, is somewhat hurt by the whole DLC situation because if you like the game and want DLCs later it seems like you are going to just end up buying the base game again. If I wanted to do that I would just go buy the base version of a Bethesda game.
