Okay, from those games I only have Mirror's Edge, so I can't resist to this one. Also, as Crysis 2 is in the bundle, isn't Crysis 1 (+ maybe Warhead) a possible bonus?

It's HB's fault that I use steam.. now I will use Origin also... they are evil! I should've gotten the ME pack from GG :)

Licurg: Neah, I don't want Amok to kill me in my sleep... Besides, I have a spare dollar on my PP account, I just wanna know if I can play Dead Space without the always-online crap. My internet is shit, so it's kinda important...

mondo84: Looks like there isn't any DRM other than SecuROM (plus Origin activation).

edit - actual site is here: http://www.reclaimyourgame.com/content.php/64-EA-Origin-DRM-List
Is this only for Dead Space, or is it available for all Origin games? Also - if I download DS, activate it, then uninstall their client, will I still be able to play it ?

I own all these except BF3 and Sims, neither of which do I want. Nice deal for those who want it though, and sweet that it goes to charity.

I'm sure people will find a way to hate it though.

You can also redeem it on Steam, but I am not sure if you can then play it offline, maybe someone have already tried this?

I'm actually not sure, but that second link in my edit should have info for the Origin games with DRM.

I think DS will run just as long as you launch it from Origin, so I guess that might be considered "always-online" unless the game itself isn't checking for a web connection.

Sorry I don't know more, hopefully someone else who does can chime in.

Seems the Origin key that you get in Steam and the Origin key you get in HB are two different keys.

Yay, key party!

The games that do not require Origin (IE the games that also come with Steam keys) >should< be able to be played without Origin running. Dead Space 1 for sure, I've tested it. The first time you run it though, it will ask for the serial key to activate.

Licurg: If I buy this bundle, is there anyway to get around Origin and play Dead Space offline ?
i'm afraid not , i have a boxed copy of it (bought cheap) doesn't require Origin though

the other way...is well , you know what i speak of ;)

you need to unlock games on Origin & D/L eitheir through Origin either through Steam

from HB : "Unlock all the games on Origin and select games on Steam"

saldite: It's Steam from EA. It's also a download manager, too, though. If the game is made by EA and is post-Origin, you need Origin to play it since that'll be the form of DRM. Third-party games or older EA games do not need Origin to be running when you start them (a lot of them have really draconian forms of DRM like SecuROM or that limited activations bullshit. I haven't run into them, but I had an annoying issue with Dragon Age Origins and it's DLC since you need to be online in order for the DLC to work).

It's not a bad client, but I feel like EA could be doing more with it. I mentioned DA:O above, since I almost wonder why Origin itself couldn't verify that. Or for other games like Mass Effect 2 where I still need some BIoWare points shit to buy the DLC on a separate website outside of the service itself (brilliant!) when the client could handle that, too. It's like EA has a decent client and DRM method (comparable to Steam), but they don't use it unless it's the newest of their own games.
Yeah, I don't mind a client if it's not more intrusive than Steam. It's just the limited activations stuff I don't want to fuss around with. And it seems the Origin versions of these games come with SecuRom, where the Steam versions have it removed or inert.

Licurg: Neah, I don't want Amok to kill me in my sleep...
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
amok is coming to your town with a new knife
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So don't abuse the bundles for goodness sake!

Poor CoD . BF3 will be more popular after this bundle .

Games for Origin and Steam. I guess that is what Humble Bundle is calling cross-platform these days... ;-)

But at least all the money goes to charity.
