Pay $1 or more to also unlock!

Dunno if it was always like this, but I just noticed it and it amused me.

Got both the 40K audiobooks and Europa universalis 4 dlc bundle for max prices on humble still cheap as fuck.

The 40K one would have cost me about 200$ alone for all but was there for 17$ something, hard to pass on that even though I have some on audible already.

The bundles are great but they are really creating quite a bit of frustration with their "gamble" keys. Especially if they see what they understand under AAA games.

In other news Tropico 5 is on sale on steam but is even cheaper on Fanatical for only €2.79, what is a bit more than a price of a coffee so worth grabbing if you are into city builders

Ay, those lootbox bundles are,. not happening.

I guess I'm out of the loop on what those are. I just know I've bought a few of their pick n mix stuff lately cos they've had some good games in them for pretty cheap.

(but fwiw I play very few AAA games -- I probably played just two this entire year -- so I have a very obvious slant towards indie stuff)

Bought this in haste, turns out I already have it...sigh. Another unused key to toss onto the pile. I really need to check my steam account before I impulse buy on other sites.

Ouch! Well don't despair, happened to me also and there are also people on Steam that trade games for those you don't have so hold on to that one for a while and look at the people trading there are quite a few trustworthy ones around.

Fanatical has Outward up for cheap on their star deal.

Consider picking it up, but i got a gut feeling that it might end up in the humble bundle monthly/choice soon'ish. What do you all think, buy or wait?

Guess it got the ddos attack with all the interest.
I grabbed 2 keys with random email addresses and sent em to friends before it went down.
Seems there's no limit. (or was, rather), so they may be fixing that.


24 hours left on the HB stardew valley bundle.

Looks rather nice considering how expensive this game with dlc's rather is, wonder how this compares to Sid Meier's Railroads something i played years ago.

Thanks for sharing!

Believe TS hold the record for the most expensive DLC of all time lol. Over $10k US to buy it all....

Guess it is truly marketed at the train collector/enthusiast. Do wonder the actual cost in creating these dlc's compared to what they charge.

Do they have actual people travelling these railroad lines and mapping them out fully? That could explain quite a bit.

Don't quote me on it, but I think part of the reason they are so high was that I was reading they have to buy rights to use them since they are based on the real thing or something.

Probably what @Lucetia said as well, but none of them are super expensive, there's just SO MANY, there's over 500 dlc iirc
