The next Humble Bundle is Origin focused - StickSkills

8-15-2013 3-12-22 AM

Well. That's surprising, to say the least. The newest Humble Bundle is focused around a company that isn't generally associated with being humble: EA, or more specifically, it's Origin platform. Like most of the AAA-publisher focused bundles Humble Bundle have put out (i.e. THQ, Deep Silver), this bundle forgoes a lot of the rules that their indie counterparts have. So, yet again, no Mac and Linux and no DRM-free versions.

To their credit, it's a phenomenal deal. For as little as a buck, you are entitled to the following 6 games: Dead Space, Dead Space 3, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Mirror's Edge, and Medal of Honor. If you beat the average, you can also get Battlefield 3 and The Sims 3 Starter Pack. Also, in addition to Origin copies of all these games, the bundle also gives you Steam keys for a majority of the games. The only ones with no Steam keys are Dead Space 3, Battlefield 3, and The Sims 3. Not bad. Interestingly enough Dead Space 2 is lacking from this selection of games. Most likely it'll be added at a later date.

Now, to those of you who are wary of giving EA any extra money, know this: they are forgoing all of the revenue. They are receiving absolutely no money for this. Rather, the only people getting money are Humble Bundle and 5 different charities. So, you really have no reason not to buy it. Unless you have no interest in these games. Which is a lie. How could you not want another Sims game to destroy your life?

Trevor is some big dork who lives in Okinawa, Japan. He really likes banging on about some game or movie that has his attention, which he does quite frequently to everyone's annoyance. When not writing for StickSkills, he usually whining about something on Twitter. If you want, you can follow him @VoltySquirrel.
