Humble THQ Bundle adds Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War
Do you enjoy playing video games on your personal computer, and have a few dollars spare? Then you have probably bought the Humble THQ Bundle already. If not, though, the pay-what-you-want bundle is now an even bigger bargain, as the publisher today threw in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War GotY on top of the many other fine games already in it. It ends Wednesday, so get your skates on.
Do you enjoy playing video games on your personal computer, and have a few dollars spare? Then you have probably bought the Humble THQ Bundle already. If not, though, the pay-what-you-want bundle is now an even bigger bargain, as the publisher today threw in Relic's RTS Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War on top of the many other fine games already in it. It ends Wednesday, so get your skates on.
Everyone who bought the bundle before this announcement will have Dawn of War added for free, but newcomers will need to beat the average price to get it.
So, to sum up, for as little as $1 (which you'd surely pay more than), you get Steam keys for Company of Heroes, CoH: Opposing Fronts, CoH: Tales of Valor, Darksiders, Metro 2033, and Red Faction Armageddon. If you beat the average price, which is $5.63 as I write this, you'll get Saints Row: The Third, Titan Quest, and now Dawn of War too. So, lots of video games.
Unsurprisingly, the first AAA bundle from Humble Bundle has been pretty popular. It's sold over 750,000, a record amount for HB, but the average price paid is unusually low. Macateers and Linuxnauts usually pay more than Windowsheads but none of these games are for their platforms, which will help drag this down. Plus, of course, some are none too pleased about Humble Bundle joining up with a big publisher and briefly stepping away from its core tenets of multiplatform and DRM-free, but will still want to buy the games.

THQ humble bundle sees company stock rise by almost 40%

THQ seems to be fine with it.-
When your stock is hovering around $1 that's not quite so hard to do. Good for them though, it'll stave off delisting for a while longer (and hopefully cover some advertising needed for the almost released games).

Polishing the brass on the Titanic :(
I paid just over the average because I already owned 4 of the 6 original games or whatever.-

It's the GOLD edition. Downloading it now. The game page links to the Gold Edition in the Steam Store, and it says I own the gold edition.
So you get W40K DOW GOTY + Winter Assault. You miss out on the Dark Crusade expansion as that is only included with the DOW Anthology... or you can buy it separately.
"Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Gold Edition features the award-winning Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Game of the Year Edition and the highly anticipated expansion pack Winter Assault."-

Yeah... I'm wrong actually. It is just GOTY, even though the store says I own GOLD.
Steam forums have many people "enquiring" about this issue, as you can not currently buy Winter Assault by itself via Steam either. People confused, like me, because of the link to the store. Some even say the install folder says it's gold (with WA), and some say the WA exe is in the folder as well but it only launches the vanilla version.
So yeah, if you want WA , at this stage, you need to buy the anthology or buy WA from the THQ store direct.
"basically right now the only way to get Winter Assault if you've activated the GOTY key from the THQ bundle is to buy the Dawn of War Platnium (Anthology) Edition or wait to see if Valve will resolve the issue with the shop detecting the GOTY edition as the Gold Edition."
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....

I never got into WH40K, I know it's a world that gets tons of love on this site. I quite like WHFB though, so I probably would enjoy 40K as well. Is this Dawn of War a good starting point or should I dive in elsewhere?
