Money in motion, buying tier 1!
Crusade to the BTA for Tier 2!
What a stellar bundle, I'm buying Tier 3!
I'll think about it...
Got these all, sorry.
Nope. Too expensive for me.
Don't like Grand Strategy / 4X.
All in for charity!

eu4 and ck2 like both 5+ years old and still no real complete edition, just expensive DLCs which ruin game if you dont own them. Stellaris is pretty decent still in current patch if you dont own DLC. Also, you can always revert game version for Paradox game to most of the patches which you want to play so you can play the version which wasnt ruined by not owning DLCs yet and can evenetually progress to next patches if you happen to buy DLC sometime. However if you buy it set money to zero to paradox because of their dlc policy:-)

Great bundle if you're into strat games. I'd have bought it if I didn't have almost them all (no Stellaris).

WORTH NOTING

Hearts of Iron III Collection DOES NOT add http://store.steampowered.com/app/25970/Hearts_of_Iron_III_DLC__German_Sprite_Pack/

...Which is listed under http://store.steampowered.com/sub/29531/ (DLC collection) May cause confusion as it did with me!

EDIT: even though its not listed as owned under the dlc collection, it IS listed in active dlc in the client. can anybody else confirm this?

Is that the only DLC that is missing when you redeem the Hearts of Iron III Collection?

Yes, because nothing is missing from the actual collection here:

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/37223/

EDIT: German Sprite Pack #1 is part of the collection, but it does not show properly as owned in the store.

This is odd: even though its not listed as owned under the dlc collection, it IS listed in active dlc in the steam client.

I looked into a bit and it's interesting, the appid was likely renamed after the sub was created

There are two appid's that are relevant, the original and the current (25970)

We can get the original appid by looking at the sub "Hearts of Iron Collection III (Jan 2014)"

https://steamdb.info/sub/37223/

Looking at this packages apps and going by name gets us (25893)

You are getting (25893) when you activate the key. The store page is for (25970)

That's why it's displaying you don't own the game.

I think there's a chance it shows up twice if you bought it again. I wonder if it will appear twice if you buy it again, might cause problems when actually attempting to play it.

That's $5.27 - pay "more" than $5.26 :)

I already own most of what is given here that interest me, and I originally got stellaris on my first ever humble monthly because that game interested me... I think a game of this bundle that does interest me would be Pillars, but not sure now that I found out about this bundle if it is worth the BTA of 7.80.

Might be better to try and trade for it, can get it probably cheaper now that it is in the BTA bundle.

I think I'll get tier 1 for Majesty 2 and to gift Magicka 2. I own stellaris and pretty unsure about BTA (I have PoE and CK2 that I barely played. I feel like grand strategy is not my calling :) )

Still forever waiting for Bully. I'll wait for the next steam sale I suppose!

As a Rockstar game most unlikely to be bundled, just like Bethesda stuff.

There was a leak last week that made people hope for a Rockstar Bundle but it wouldn't be the first time Humble reschedules a Bundle that has been leaked (Sonic Bundle) so I'm still hoping it will come sometime in the next months.

I know you've probably seen it now, but that was a little prescient...

Good games, but the amount of missing DLC makes it a mixed bag for me... I'm just too conditioned that I feel like I'm missing half of the game without DLC, and especially with Paradox games I'm getting triggered like that to an almost unbearable extent... hmm. Still, a good bundle IMO. Meh, worst thing could be that my wallet gets off easy this time, so not that much of a loss ;>.

I guess there's not much harm done in by giving away the wrong collection for Hearts of Iron. No 2014 shown on Humble and not checking thread here made me choose wrong. Made a ticket to change the game in case there's some major difference between the removed package and this one on Steam.

Edit: and looking at https://steamdb.info/app/25890/subs/ hardly makes it easier to choose the right one. :)

It's not about the amount of difference, but whether SG detects any difference. If they don't match up, then the winner will have an unactivated win, which can get them suspended. It's not about you, but the person who gets your gift.

I know, that's why I submitted a ticket about it. SG and SGT seem to be happy about it so it's just to prevent any possible future problems if any.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I still have Heart of Iron III Collection key left, but the link here is leading nowhere. So I am wondering is the "old collection" equal to the current collection on steam? https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9691/Hearts_of_Iron_III_Collection

PS: It is an older game, so I wouldn't expect new DLCs but it is weird, that the link in the OP is not showing a steam store page. Same for Europa Universalis III Collection, which is not leading to the current page https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9688/Europa_Universalis_III_Collection/

They probably just replaced the packages with bundles so it's most likely the same content, you can still check on SteamDB to compare

Thanks a lot for the fast reply! :)
One question, how did you found those links, is it because you already have the games or was there another way to avoid to necro here?
Edit: Nvm, I just saw my mistake, sorry.
