AMD Never Settle Bundle Shrinking...

So Far Cry 3 got replaced by Thief, could be a good or a bad thing from different perspectives.

Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite got replaced by Never Settle Forever.


Couldn't help but notice that Sniper Elite V2 got removed as well recently.



Is this the end of Never Settle?

I mean about the games disappearing or getting removed from the bundle. What did Crysis 3 and Bioshock get replaced with or did they get removed completely? From all bundles or just Gold? And when was this exactly?

I dont see how any of this means the end of bundles.

Well Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite were part of the original Never Settle Reloaded bundle, which got replaced by Never Settle Forever, which is fine.

However, I've just realized that Sniper Elite V2 got removed from all of the tiers completely, meaning that the Never Settle Forever bundle has one less game.
 
Games are rotating in and out. AMD has implied in the past that this is to be expected. I guess BF4 will eventually rotate into the regular Gold tier, and Thief is already on there.
 
Make room for the new I guess. Old games are old and are often aimed from the other side. Apparently giving (old*) games for free is a bad thing these days.

I guess nothing beats this policy:
Choose the games you want most from a large selection of AMD Gaming Evolved titles. Redeem your code now for the games you see, or hold on to your AMD Radeon™ Reward coupon for upcoming games. When you see a game you can't live without, redeem your coupon, choose your favorites, and let the games begin.

Hands down best promo ever.
 
Very tempted to scout Ebay for a Thief coupon, but then I remember I'm burnt out on stealth games lately and I probably wouldn't get around to playing it for a while.

Still a great selection of games though.

I have THREE BF4 codes that I won't use. Anyone know where to give one away for a worthy cause?

I don't know how a game can be for a worthy cause. I'll take one for a friend we want in our squad since my cards are only coming in Jan, but there isn't really much to make you believe me though.

Far Cry 3 is pretty old now, and Thief is brand new. Not surprised they're cycling the games to keep it fresh.
 
I hope they refresh the game list so that it accommodates newer games before Dec 2013, when my gold coupon expires.

If they can refresh it so that it had as many AAA titles as it did when it just launched, that would be nice.


Titanfall, BF4, GTA V or something.

You can use your gold coupon to reserve Thief, which is at least an AA game if not AAA (what is the distinction anyway?!), plus 2 other games. But yeah I know what you mean and I doubt AMD will add anything other than Thief until January 2014... they are probably waiting for people holding gold coupons to go away, first. 🙂

I think the coupon says that if you redeem your code, you need to use all 3 of your choices at once. At this point in time, there are less than 3 games in the list that I really want.

Not releasing anything anytime soon would make sense from a business standpoint if it really is that profitable for them to hold out their games so that only Rx users can get, in which case I would just buy an Nvidia card next time.

Yes you are right, I just mean that you can select Thief among the 3 games you select today, and Thief will activate (they'll send you a followup email with code or something) a few months from now.

I totally would not be surprised if they were intentionally clearing out their old Never Settle games so that in 2014 they can add new stuff like BF4 to their Gold Tier.
