From EA support forum. You have to wait till the 2 sites sync up. Some players redeemed it via Sims3.com and it didn't show up in Origin, only in Sims 3. So, it looks like what folks are advising is to sit tight and wait it out.

Well, I actually thought as much. :) But thanks for pointing it out. :D

You can.

I installed Dead Space, closed Origin completely and tried running the game. It worked. I then figured why the hell not and uninstalled Origin. The game still loaded.

Origin made a separate folder called Origin Games and made a Dead Space folder in it, so the game remained after the client uninstalled.

That's great ! :D Guess that means I'm buying the bundle, thank you !

No problem. Also after reinstalling Origin it picked up Dead Space and put it back in the play list. Now to download Mirror's Edge.

Regarding the bundle itself, it just hit 2.5 million about 15 minutes before the 9 hour mark. So guessing this will end up the biggest bundle seems a safe bet at this point.

Figured I'd jump in, what the Hell, right? I went for a bit over the average, even though neither Battlefield 3 or The Sims 3 interested me. If they add stuff in the second week, people who already bought get it automatically, right? I've never used the Humble Bundle before (I haven't been able to get the keys because my e-mail decided that now would be a good time to shit its pants).

Some titles are a bit more dickish than others in this regard; Alice can function independently of Origin (I don't remember if I even had to load the client to activate the key) but Kingdom of Amalur will throw a tantrum if you don't log in.

both were developed by third parties to EA, both are SP only titles, but they don't share the same level of involvement with Origin.

at the same time Battlefield 3 requires you to have Origin installed to play, but once you have registered your keys the game will only load up the background functions of Origin (not the full client). after that the game loads up the battle log webpage and you run the game from a browser .... it is fucking weird.

I have come to realize that EA is much like congress; for all of its appearance of being a unified entity, the reality is that it is a giant cluster fuck of sub-factions who operate on varying levels of autonomy based on their profitability and corporate powers have little control over the individual divisions outside of being able to shut them down if they don't turn a profit.

You just gotta roll with the hits when it comes to EA; the partners program turned out some of the greatest / most well polished PC games I have seen from EA, yet Visceral churns out dog shit PC versions of Dead Space like it was getting an award for it ...
I paid $10, despite owning 3 fo the games on the list, simply because of charity and Mirrior's edge alone is worth it.

Dead Space 2 is all but a given as one of the additional titles, but I have a strong feeling that the Premium pack for Battlefield 3 may show up too since BF3 is mostly worthless without it (not to mention BF3 as a whole is going to become redundant once BF4 hits, so I think they will go for a big push to get people primed for 4).

I hope Dead Space 2 comes up. I couldn't really care less about the premium shit for Battlefield 3 though, since I only play single-player. They have an interesting selection of games they could bring up.

Regarding possible upcoming games, on NeoGaf someone went through the steam database to see what EA games were updated recently. The ones that have steam keys in this bundle were updated 9 days ago, except Medal of Honor which was yesterday. The other games updated were:

Dead Space 2
Bulletstorm
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising

So they seem like the best chances for bonuses. Another Origin only game may show up as well.

Actually, it was Valve who pulled the games from Steam, not EA. Also it wasn't so much a tiff, rather Valve changed their distribution agreement to a model that EA were not happy with. EA didn't want to comply with Valves new demands so Valve removed the affected games. But naturally, Valve can do no wrong, so all the blame falls on EA.

Give it a week or so, it's usually around that time that they update.

My hope is for Dragon Age 2. I just completed my first ever playthrough of DA:O this morning. Due to some negative stuff I've heard about DA2, I'm really not willing to drop money on it, but I'd definitely play it if it came in the Humble Bundle. Oh I can pray, but at the end of the day, it just may be wishful thinking.

I dont suppose they will add Crysis 3? :P

I doubt it, but Crysis and Crysis Warhead might be possible candidates.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if EA added Dragon Age II keys to get around the removal, letting people buy the expansion through them?

Edit: I see that the NeoGAF post mentions that Dragon Age II got updated 21 days ago, so... it probably won't happen. It'd be funny as hell though.

If a new game like Dead Space 3 is on here, it's possible.
