Humble Origin Bundle
I know what you're about to say, "OMG ORIGIN SUCKS" "GOOD TRY EA, NOT! HURRR DURRR", if I was wrong then good for you, if I was right, then take your head out of your ass and buy this bundle. Possibly the best bundle of the year.

It's not the best bundle of the year, but it's second best. Saints Row 3 bundle was better. Origin does absolutely suck, but the below-average games are all (except Dead Space 3) on Steam, so the Origin part is irrelevant. They're just bonus keys you can sell or give away on LG or something.

Most important thing about it is that EA gets no profit -- their share goes to charity as well. That is the biggest reason why this bundle is any good, imo. I mean, Mirror's Edge is great and all, but it doesn't make up for how shitty EA is. The fact that you get the games and EA doesn't get the profits makes this a damn good bundle worth buying.

THQ or Deep Silver?

Also, of course you would think Origin sucks, you're a Valve fanboy.

I felt so dumb when I paid 5$ to realize that bf3 and TS3 didn't have steam keys.

I'd have got it if they did, but I assume the fact they don't is the reason the average price was like $2.20.

They don't because the games are not on Steam.
Edit: BF3 and DS3 aren't, Sims 3 is.

Bought the bundle since I had a few bucks left in my PP balance, it's totally worth it ;o
