I wonder if this is why there have been a lot of CA entries into the Steam CDR the last few days? Maybe changing some things around?

Did you buy more than one copy of the bundle (one BTA & the other not)? If so, is it possible that you're looking at the wrong bundle page?

Thanks for checking. Nope, I didn't BTA since I already had SR. Was the soundtrack suppose to only be available for BTA? O'well, guess I'll contact support.

I did not register my account with them I just bought them and had them send me the link on my E-Mail

So I did not get notification for Titan Quest + Red Fraction DLC

So when I saw this post checked my E-Mail clicked on the unique Link and both the CD-Keys were now there...

Thanks a lot OP!

Precisely. Like I said with TQ there's only one additional purchase. With DoW there's around a half dozen or more purchases you could make if you enjoyed it.

Tens of thousands more if you count the DLC.

THQ still hold the license for 40k (Dawn of War).

Usually you only get the soundtracks for games that you buy. The main page doesn't really make that clear, but that's how I've noticed it for past bundles. I just confirmed by looking at my Humble Bundle for Android 4 page which I didn't BTA on and I don't have the soundtrack for Machinarium.

I stand corrected. Still, I cannot imagine that Games Workshop would be happy about one of their games selling for what amounts to $1 or even less.

I loved Titan Quest. I enjoyed it much more than I enjoyed Diablo 3. It is not as detail-oriented as Diablo 3 is, in execution or in balance, but I just had more fun playing it. The settings, which are all rooted in various eras/regions of mythology, are also really cool.

As opposed to the $5 or less it's been sold at on Steam in the past? Probably less if it's been bundled in other digital storefronts.

Yeah I thought so too, but when I originally bought it, it included it so I didn't think anything of it. Guess I should've downloaded it when I had the chance O'well, it's not a big deal. Thanks again for checking.

Whoa?! Where did they say this at? That's amazing if it's true

If you paid $1 for the bundle before yesterday and then they added Dawn of War, each game averages to about 15 cents - that means 666,000 people would have gotten the game for that low.

Humble Bundles also run for like two weeks whereas individual Steam deals usually only last for a day, and there is no way the game could sell that many copies during a Steam sale.

And Humble Bundles also allow people to pay over that $1 price and even if they don't it's the publicity and sheer numbers which drive the revenue which is why they're appealing to so many developers. So, let's say their cut is... oh... $50,000 (just taking a random guess) for DoW alone -- not a bad haul for a couple days window for a six plus year old game.

I just saw that they added Titan Quest. I am now in for 10.

Thanks ashes but man that's great! If it's tabletop or Total War Warhamer 40k, I'm getting that game day one!

The biggest news out of that whole article was that the MMO was being scaled back to a single player game. (Much like KoA:Reckoning did) Some how I missed this news. I'm actually really excited about that.

But your logic is flawed. You would have had to pre-pay $1 knowing that DoW was being added. PLUS it'd more than likely just be the base game. So, while the value is really good if you paid $1 yesterday, after today however you'll need to pay $5+ so the value is MUCH MUCH lower. And if it's just the base game they will up-sell you on all the expansions.

I read the title as "RTFA: The Path to War," and felt bad that I indeed had not RTFA.
