Dan (aka Nerd3) made a video of this bundle of Simulator games(that he apparently made available), called the “The Nerd3 Humble Simulator Bundle”, with a collection of Simulator-based games you can buy. If you want the entire bundle, it’ll cost you $10. You’ll be saving $86 by getting this, and you’ll be supporting the developers, two well-known charity organizations, and the website at the same time with that $10. So, feel good about yourself.
I’ve heard of this “Humble Bundle” thing before, but didn’t think much of it, until now. And it seems pretty nifty. And I’ll be using it in the future. Because I finally got Spec Ops: The Line(a $30 game on Steam), for $8. Plus other games like some of the X-COM series, and Mafia II.
It’s part of the Humble 2K Bundle, this week. Featuring 2K’s good games(like BioShock).
The website, you can pay whatever you want. Unlike Steam, you’re not paying for one game. You can get a bundle of games, for an insanely cheap price. For example, I just got Spec Ops: The Line and Mafia II, both $60($30 per game) on Steam, BioShock 1 and 2, and some of the X-COM series… for only $10. Which means I just saved over $100 on games, by bundling. This will not be the last time I look on this site for deals.
I don’t even have to wait for Steam to do one of their sales. Just need to wait for Humble Bundle to have the game(s) I want, and get them for so much cheaper than what Steam asks for.
Yet I feel I’m ripping off the developers for doing this, especially a graphic-intensive game like Spec Ops: The Line.
Anyway, the site is like a donation system from what I’m seeing. Most of it goes to the devs so they can make better games, yet a portion of it can go to charity; namely The American Red Cross and Action Against Hunger. A last sum can go directly to the site to pay for operating costs and stuff.
You’re also free to set how much of this money you wish to give to these three things. So, say I was to give $10. I could give $6 to the devs, $3 to charity, and $1 for the site. I can do this.
As a footnote and about Dan’s video, around 2:47 of him showing Turbo Dismount, they should hire him as the game’s spokesman to make the game sound good enough to buy it. Because it almost made me get it.
P.P.S… don’t get Euro Truck Simulator 2. Dan makes it sound like it’s awesome, but he doesn’t realize that it was made by SCS Software; the company that made the failure series: Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel…
Yes, I’m not letting it go. I’ll never forgive them for stealing my ideas when it came to I-75 going through Atlanta, and how they’ve always backpedaled in the series(removing good features of the previous version and replacing them with shitty ones for the next), and not giving a fuck about their customers, only the money. >:(
