Thanks for reporting on this Liam. I'm definitely going to need to order another couple for the holidays. :)

I also just noticed they've added a video the the controller page which features Wolfenstein: The New Order [External Link] at the end. Might be a sign that id Tech 5 [External Link]'s finally going to get ported.

Humble Bundle Let Staff Go Due To Being Too Ambitious

:huh: I wonder what you are thinking about… An issue with the game is obviously the same no matter where you bought it.
Not so if your issue is getting the game itself. Such as the issue I was referring to [External Link] (sorry, I assumed that was what you were talking about).

Sad news. By far my favourite place to purchase my games.

Quoting: GuestMuch more easy on Steam: if I see an interesting game at a reasonable price, I buy it; if it doesn’t work or isn’t fun, I ask for a refund. Done.
You can do the same on the humble store [External Link].

Quoting: GuestIn the latest bundle only QUBE was interesting to me (I had most of the other games already), but I saw it had some issues in the Steam forums, so I decided to wait and buy it on Steam later.
:huh: The issue didn't effect HiB purchases.

Rewatching this review now to see if I wanna get this or not sometime.

** potential spoilers.
I too love RLM but they didn't like the game. So I'd suggest watching the following to balance out the opinions (again spoilers guys):

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS, Some Thoughts On The New Standalone Expansion & The Controversy
21 Aug 2015 at 10:30 pm UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: liamdawebut it still shows Uber aren’t in it for a major cash-grab like some people seem to think
The original was even put on heavy discount in the days running up the the release for Titans.

Quoting: liamdaweUber even enables TITANS players to play with Classic PA players by simply adjusting an option in TITANS
Classic lobbies are always visible in the lobby browser. That option is only required to host classic lobbies or play in the old ranked 1v1.

Quoting: edqeI think the problem is that we know nothing what is going inside the company and what all ideas they have went trough.
You can always ask directly by getting involved in the 3 question game [External Link]. ;)

Quoting: gojulBut why they do make original buyers pay more while the new buyers get PA Titans for the same price as original PA buyers did, while original PA is removed from Steam ? Is it to force original buyers to bring more cash ???
There's no forcing. The old game plays with and integrates with the expanded version. I find this standalone approach with the heavy discount for existing users, much more preferable to the DLC alternative.

Quoting: gojulThe problem is that the game was already marked as final one year ago so this does not account. They promised that all updates would be free, but actually it was liar.
The original game received many substantial updates. This expansion pushes beyond what was ever promised.

Quoting: gojulI understand for the financial argument, but here they're just liars, just as they were when they said their game would be DRM-free... (in French)

The game is DRM free. Offline/custom-server play was added as promised to the original game some time ago.

Quoting: ElectricPrismtheir "Free for Kickstarter backers" or "Early Access" has been an afterthought considering there was no pinned thread titled "Regarding Early Access & Kickstarter Backers"
No. Kickstarter backers were e-mailed & upon launching Planetary Annihilation there's also a pop-up that informs you that you just got Titans for free.

Early Access users do not get a free copy, I don't know where you heard that. But anyone with a copy of PA gets it a 66% off. Also those that are competing in The Mystery Mayhem [External Link] are going to be receiving an e-mail soon about getting a free copy. ;)
