The Humble Bundle is now having weekly sales. Their first sale is Bastion. For a dollar or more you will get a game and a Steam code.
The Humble Bundle Weekly Sale Itself
The sale itself gets you the game as well as some other bonuses. Here are the bonuses:
- A Bastion Digital Soundtrack
- A Bastion Art Pack
- Bastion Sheet Music
- Bastion Ringtones
Those who pay $25 USD or more will get even more merchandise. These rewards include:
- A Bastion Original Soundtrack CD
- A Bastion bandana
- A Bastion postcard
- A Transistor postcard
- Shipping for your physical items
This weekly sale will also be helping Child’s Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. You can also probably expect similar things from future sales.
Bundles… Bundles have Changed
For better or worse, competition is seeing bundles change. From the THQ Bundle to this new sale, people are trying to expand profits. The bundle scene is becoming more commercial. It is also becoming far more competitive than before.
Critics say that this perverts the intent of the bundle. Supporters say that as long as the money flows, it is fine. We are going to abstain from judgment here. Only posterity will be an accurate indicator of whether these changes are for better or worse.
Something Undeniable
One thing that is undeniable is that more people are able access some great games. Even someone who is having serious problems with money can buy Bastion for $1 USD. That lends a level of accessibility we have rarely seen. Bastion also, is undeniably a great game that many people need to experience. While the changes may not be clearly right or wrong, this accessibility seems like a great thing to us.
