Humble Bundle: Origin 2

$4.84 and you get every game on the list. Most of the time they will add another game or two which you also get for no additional cost.

I guess I'm still a little confused... do I get the five games listed on top, or ALL NINE games listed in the both sections? Plus a bonus tenth?
 
I'm also not fond of the second key. What do I need two copies of Bejeweled for?

I'm hoping the extras don't blow. They kind of blew last time.
 
They added 4 more "meh" games.

Wing Commander 3™: Heart of the Tiger
Wing Commander™ IV: The Price of Freedom
SimCity 2000™ Special Edition
Ultima VII The Complete Edition

WC3 was an Origin freebie several months ago.....so yeah a bit of "meh" with these.

Overall it was still a helluva deal for me. I got DA2, MoH Warchest, and Deadspace 2 (all games I wanted) for less than $5. Plus a bunch of others.

Now if I only had more time to play any of these.......
 
The single key is kind of a rip off. Only game I wanted was PvZGW. I was planning on gifting the rest.

I agree that the single Origin key sucked. But you do also get 4 separate Steam keys for:

DA:O, ME2, Deadspace 2, and Bejewled 3

You can gift those.

Humble Bundles can be a little confusing, but they usually have up to three rules for getting content.

(1) Base content usually only requires at least 1 cent. These items have no colored padlocks beside their name. Note that because of people abusing the keys, Humble Bundle requires at least $1 for digital distribution (e.g. Steam) keys.

(2) Beat the Average content requires you to pay more than the average of all payments. These items have a green padlock to the left of the name. The amount that you have to pay is listed above the items.

(3) Tiered content requires you to pay a specific amount to get whatever is contained within the shaded square. These items have a blue padlock to the left of the name. The amount that you have to pay is listed at the top of the shaded section.

Also, Humble Bundle will tell you what platforms and/or digital distribution systems an item is available for. These are shown via icons that are listed beneath each title's name. Humble Bundles can include content for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android and on Steam, Origin and Desura.

If you'll notice....under those four games there is the Steam logo (as well as the Origin logo). This means you get Steam keys too.

Click on your user name in the upper right hand corner > my library > keys (top middle-right of the screen) > unredeemed keys

Ah yeah. That's awesome.
Looks like I can gift a key too?
I don't suppose I can redeem on Steam and Origin?
 
I think the only ones I'd get this for are PvZ and C&C Generals (replacing CD). I don't have Wing Commander but it doesn't look like something I'd like.
