Q+A:

Q1: If I wait to buy the bundle, will the BTA Price go up? (Tier 2)

  • A: YES, the BTA price WILL INCREASE. This is because as people pay MORE than the BTA price to buy Tier 2 or higher, they BTA INCREASES as time goes on.

  • The BTA does NOT* go down

    • In some circumstances* or some time after the bundle is released, the BTA price may or may not go down. The BTA price goes down if people pay LESS than the BTA price, such as buying only Tier 1 for $1 or less).

Q2: What is "increase your order"?

  1. If you have already purchased a bundle and want to beat the average or increase your order amount, just go to your personal download page and click this link near the top.

  2. This option will be available throughout the bundle sale period as well as for a short period after the bundle has closed. After you click the link, it will expand into this window

  3. Enter the amount you would like to ADD to your initial order, NOT the total amount you would like to donate. For example, in the example above, enter $7.75 to bring the total to $17.75.

Q3: What is locking the BTA?

  • A: Locking the BTA means that at the time of purchase, whatever the BTA price is at that time (i.e. Let's say its $5.50), this will be your BTA price forever. Simply buy Tier 1 of the bundle for $1, and if you want to increase your order in the future, you will only have to pay the difference between $1 and $5.50 + $0.01, meaning if you want the games in the BTA tier, you will pay only $4.51, even if the current BTA price on the bundle page is $6, for example (the BTA price changes depending on the AVERAGE $$x that people are buying the bundle at. The BTA fluctuates, and usually increases over time as more people pay higher prices for the bundle).

Q4: What is "Pay more than the average vs. Pay $XX or more"?

Often for bundles, there are two additional tiers of content that you can access. The first is locked under a title of "Pay more than the average of $X.XX to unlock!" In this instance, you must beat the average listed. If the amount is $3.25, you must pay at least $3.26 to gain access to that content. It also never hurts to add an extra five or ten cents to be certain that you will unlock the content!

The highest tier of content often will say "Pay $XX or more to unlock!" In this case, you simply need to meet the specified amount in order to get the additional games.

Mid-Promotion additions

For the main page bundles, often extra games will be added to the beat the average tier half way through the duration of the bundle. If you have already purchased the bundle, you still have access to those games! As long as you had beaten the average at time of purchase, you will automatically gain access to those games. You simply have to open up the download page we originally emailed to you, and the new games will now be listed at the bottom.

I read the thread and i've seen that only mafia II shows up when creating a GA, so is it better to wait for support adding the version given by HB (I honestly lost track of which one should be correct if deluxe, director, whatever) before making a GA or make one for the base game?

Hi Rachel. Sorry if this is an obvious question; how did you get to a CV of $52.48?

Don't Battleborn and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel alone push it up to $100, since neither is on the bundle list?

I thought he looked at the tier.. so difference from tier 2 to tier 3 is almost $6 and the value of tier 3 is $100, so that'd be 94% off... but I guess we'll see :-)

Just in case people don't know, back in the day Railroad Tycoon had an extensive fan base and lots of these people created an updated version of the game call Railroad Tycoon Trainmaster Expert Edition.

I lost many hours playing this updated version - and many maps, locos, and scenarios were created - much of which can still be found at:

http://hawkdawg.com/rrt/rrt3/rrt3.htm

hope this helps some people if they want to try and play the game again :) - and this also offers some patches to the original game.

I can't even tell the difference. I use chrome and I'm on my phone most of the time so I can't tell. I have an emoji keyboard on my iPhone and that's red. Besides that, I only see a black heart on my PC when I'm home instead of the red hearts in my phone. Sorry :/ I can't really control what hearts I use. It depends where I am and it's too hard to keep track of the "correct heart".
