Humble Bundle - Turkey Earthquake Relief Efforts

[FastLawyer]

Thank you to the devs of Gotham Knights for generously including Gotham Knights in the bundle for charity! Awesome devs!

This game is so good its only worth is to be traded for something else pronto like the thing chrono.gg had.

Is it really that bad to already be in a huge Humble Bundle?

There's LOTS of really bad games on Steam that aren't in any charitable bundle. You guys are exactly what's wrong with Steam. These devs are donating their game (work) to help victims in Turkey and Syria and you guys decide this is the correct forum to air your grievances.

The devs didn't have to donate their work to help in the humanitarian crisis. I'm happy to have donated and gotten this game as part of that donation. What are you guys doing to help in the humanitarian aid for Turkey and Syria?

Everyone is doing it for money. Yes the charity is nice but both the charity and humble bundle need money to donate and pay staff, sure these things can be "non-profit" but they still need the money to maintain their organizations and send out as relief.

The developers probably had nothing to do with it and the publisher said "alright this game didn't sell well but we could get good will and get the game into a lot more hands at the same time."

Yes I get that humble bundles whole deal is that its for charity and its not about money but at the same time the mainstream or triple AAA stuff that shows up on is clearly devalued enough that the publishers don't have anything to lose.

Also let's be honest, as nice as it is for all the indie devs that did actually donate their games to the line up, it probably wouldn't have sold much without Gotham Knight headlining it and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if humble bundle paid the publisher for the keys like all those free games that are paid for by epic and amazon to drive customers to their platforms.

Because they're bad and wouldn't generate money for charity.

Yes the stuff happening around the world is terrible and they definitely need help but let's be real and honest, most people pay the minimum to get cheap games through humble bundle.

I'm glad it's for a good cause. Hopefully it also helps out some of the multiplayer parts of the game.

i went and donated, there are people out there in great need in Turkey and Syria, especially Syria who really need the help and caught between a rock and a hard place. i didn't think twice about it.

One thing i take issue with on HB is that this is almost a month late. The current $320,000 donation to charity could have been useful a lot sooner. it could have meant medical supplies, food and blankets for those people who need it as soon as possible. I wish it had happened sooner, that's my only problem with it.

It's still going to be a week before that money gets to where it's needed though. Still, i hope all that money really has the effect the people out there need in Turkey and Syria.

The horrendous building codes in Turkey and lack of proper oversight is unforgivable, the idea is to make those buildings earthquake proof and it wasn't done. Of course Syria is still in the middle of a civil war and it's very complicated.

i decided to keep the game, if it's bad or not, i can play it myself and figure out what's what. Who knows, i might come to like it, but there is only one way to know, by researching and playing it out.

I'm not going to knock WB for a generous gesture. But yeah if they are giving the game away in a bundle after only one quarter it's probably because the game just isn't selling well at all. It's kind of sad especially since it looks like whatever internal push to make this a co-op game with levels was probably intended for what they are turning Suicide Squad into. But then they figured Suicide Squad was more marketable.

Last section is reversed to avoid bots.

I hate how people always take the key and don't say nothing

Same here - I love it when HB gets those donation bundles going - even if this title isn't that great, at least the funds went to somewhere they were needed.

I find it hard to believe WB wanted to do this, so maybe the devs convinced them.

I'm finally gonna play this game, it never looked that bad to me. It's not Arkham, but looks alright.

Optimisation for this game is total ♥♥♥♥ but it's still playable and a barely ok game.

I was interested in this game but was holding off until a HUGE discount (80% or more). But when I saw it in the charity bundle I decided to take the plunge and I'm glad I did. I put about a dozen hours into it so far and I'm quite enjoying it!

I only got this game because it was in the charity bundle. It was finally brought down to a price that it was actually worth to me - roughly $0.30.
