Tranquil.Suit: Give me the list of those games.
UFO: Aftermath, UFO: Aftershock, UFO: Afterlight, Colin McRae 2005. 4 examples out of the top of my head, quite possible a few more.

Tranquil.Suit: Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Medal of Honor, Mirror's Edge: EA account: online activation + always online
Dunno about MoH and Burnout, but Mirror's Edge's EA account activation is optional. And it isn't always online (unless you're talking about Steam DRM and you consider it always online).

PaterAlf: 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.
I used to love HB so much for this.

Have they all gone yet do you know?


Not touching this bundle though. Steam is already enough of too much for me without a must own game.
So with no DRM free versions or a 'must own' game so I will pass again.

And my first impression of origin:

big publicity stunt and they can't keep their systems running.
Can't redeem a single product code @ origin at the moment...

What was that game Xyem was talking about, where the inert DRM stopped it from working in Linux?

Motoracer 2. I still think it's a case of case sensitivity causing the missing cdrom, but no way to test it unfortunately :/

Um... I remember gog having this problem after giving away free games so I would not be so fast to criticise.

The Origin servers are way overloaded at the moment. I'll probably try to register these games later tonight. Also I'm going to test offline mode with a couple games like I did steam.

Also the bundle has hit 1 million dollars already. This looks to be a contender for ending up near the top of the list with HiB5 and the THQ bundle.

My bad, edited. Didn't notice the extra comment in that list.

I can't check. Nobody said anything so far so I assume some of them are still good.

Well it is a very kind gesture of you to the rest of the GOG community. +2

Tranquil.Suit: Dead Space: Inert SecuRom
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box EA account: online activation + always online

Crysis 2: The Steam version of the game contains Steam's "stub" form of DRM. Online play requires MyCrysis account. Origin version has SolidShield.
Whelp, there go the three games I was interested in.

Screw you then EA.

Licurg: If I buy this bundle, is there anyway to get around Origin and play Dead Space offline ?
I'll add origin has an offline mode which at least for me works unlike steams...
