Some of AMD's Never Settle Bundle expiring soon

[JBT]

Anyone have an idea what they will be putting in most of the games places?
Thief was just added and is good till 4/30/2013, but the rest of them in the Silver bundle expire on on 12/31.

I just picked up a card with the silver package but all those expiring on the 31st I'm not to interested in. Anyone have an idea whats going to come out after that if anything? I'll be redeeming Thief but I'd be willing to risk waiting after the 31st if some new games are going to be added.

I doubt any game will be added from now till the end of the year.

Its holidays and low staff offices even in the workdays.

I can't imagine it continuing as is. Most of the games in never settle are just old, and several games have already been removed from it. I mean, it has Deus Ex: HR and Dirt 3 - DR:HR was a great game, but it was from 2011. I think crysis 3 was already removed. So was Bioshock: Infinite.

Saints Row: IV and FC3 : blood dragon are great games. But I look at the rest of the lineup and it seems aging - it also has Sleeping Dogs and Hitman Absolution. Sleeping dogs being great but again...an old title.

If anything, they'll probably do something new or go with Thief alone in the future. All of the never settle titles with few exceptions are getting a little long in the tooth..

 

[JBT]

Right which is why I'm redeeming for Thief, but wanting to hold out after the 31st IF they add some new games. I'll be a little annoyed if they don't add anything, and I lose out on one of the games but I have enough games on Steam I don't play.

Don't count on anything being added. There are almost no cards currently being sold with the Never Settle Forever bundle anymore (the only one I've seen is the 260X). Therefore, there's little incentive for AMD to add additional games.

 

[JBT]

They'll have to do something. Thief is good through 4/30/2014 and it won't let me "check out" with only it selected...

 

[blackened23]

I dunno. If anything, I think they would start a new promo involving Thief or BF4 only. Never Settle is aging with some very old games on the list, it doesn't make sense to maintain those games because they're pretty long in the tooth. Some of them are from 2011.

With many of the games being quite old, Never Settle loses a lot of appeal. Granted, there are some fantastic games on there. What you may want to do is, redeem some of the better games like SR 4 or something along those lines and sell the game codes. A lot of the games on never settle are slowly being removed (such as Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3) and I imagine that they may slowly remove more. I could be wrong, but that's what I think will happen. With that being the case it's better to redeem sooner rather than later - and sell the game codes if need be IMO.

BTW have you tried SR4? If you liked SR3...that game is a blast. I love it. Definitely in my top 10 for this year.

I also think they'll include BF4 and Thief in their bundle for a while. They're going to push Mantle pretty hard, and those two games will stir up buzz around their cards pretty good if it turns out worthwhile.

Actually this got me thinking about EA. Seems like Never Settle is going to line EA's pocket pretty good, if AMD is going to push Mantle games with it (which would make sense) EA scored a big win by jumping on it with Frostbite.

You must redeem all three at the same time. If I'm not mistaken, the codes must be redeemed by the end of the year.

You don't like Hitman, Far Cry Blood Dragon, or Sleeping Dogs? I doubt you will get new games before the end of the year (your deadline) so pick a 2nd and/or 3rd game and enjoy it.

Grab some random other games and be nice at Christmas and give them to random people.

If you have the gold card you need to check out with at least 3 selected. I did Thief + Saints Row IV + Hitman Absolution and will receive a Thief key when it comes out.

My key was invalid. Sent in picture and receipt, have yet to hear from them. (3 days)

I still have a couple of "Bronze" reward coupons from a pair of 7790s that were purchased from Newegg.

 

[JBT]

Logged in and they extended all the dates till 3/31/2014. I ended up with Thief, Dues Ex, and a Bonus key for some MMO FPS, with a couple of power ups etc. I would have probably picked FC3 if it didn't use UPlay, Orgin, and Steam are enough for me.

Public service announcement 12/29/2013: Never Settle cards may say they expire 12/31/2013 and while JBT says he got his extended through 3/31/2014, it's not clear to me if they are doing this for everyone even if you redeem your code after 12/31/2013. So if you are sitting on a Never Settle code, go to http://amd4u.com/radeonrewards/ and redeem the code and see if it says 12/31/2013 or 3/31/2014 as your expiration date for when you get to pick games.
