The Humble Bundles have provided many backlogs with insurmountable additions over the past couple of years. They’ve done so by routinely offering collections of good games for ridiculously low prices, often directing the funds towards charities. The Freedom Bundle then is no different in a sense. Although instead of just a handful of games, this bundle could substitute for your backlog in its entirety. And all the proceeds are going to three great causes.
In their bid to show solidarity against events in the United States, Humble has teamed up with a bunch of willing developers to offer over 40 games, audiobooks and more, with all proceeds going towards the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), Doctors Without Borders and The International Rescue Committee. Developers part of the initiative have allowed Humble to direct all the funds gathered towards these foundations, in their bid to help support those doing on the ground work for those who need it.
The ACLU in particular has been a notable foundation for donations in recent weeks, with the legal body aiding those affected by Donald Trump’s Travel Ban a few weeks ago. Some games developers spoke out then and created their own means to donate to the cause, but Humble has collected all those efforts under one umbrella.
And what an umbrella it is. The page states that more games are to follow, but here are just a handful of the titles you can pick up for your $30 (or more) contribution:
- The Witness
- Mini Metro
- Nuclear Throne
- Octodad: Dadliest Catch
- Subnautica
- Invisible Inc.
- Day of the Tentacle
- Super Meat Boy
- World of Goo
- The Stanley Parable
- Sword and Sorcery
- Super Hexagon
- Guacamelee!
- Song of the Deep
- The Swapper
- Secrets of Raetikon
- 2064: Read Only Memories
There are many, many more in the full listing, all of which offer Steam, DRM-free or a combination of both for your sharing pleasure. As of writing the bundle is just about to crack $2 million in collected donations, and has only been live for less than a day. This really is the most expansive bundle yet, and if you’ve been looking for a way to donate to the ACLU this is easily your best bet.

Just when I was starting to whittle down that backlog.
Oh well.

Humble Bundle deals a CRITICAL HIT to James

Well it’s less than half what For Honor costs and this has ten fold more value.
Admiral Chief
February 14, 2017 at 09:22
Indeed.
I saw you can get that silly game for $47 on GMG
Ottokie
February 14, 2017 at 09:22
Best I can do is $10

That much? It must be the valentines spirit increasing your generosity.

I’ll offer $7 max in support of Llew

Ten fold? You’re being too nice to For Honor 😛

It’s releasing today…what they actually mean is “extended Beta test”

Even last night I was getting Division server errors, so likely the FH servers are under strain
Ottokie
February 14, 2017 at 09:26
And they don’t even have dedicated servers. It chooses a host the same way WF does.

“But I have enough games” I say to myself while reaching for my credit card.

Off topic completely:
I just read something farked up! Rumour is that Affleck might wanna step away from his Batman role! It’d be a bloody travesty!
Wish I could those idiots that gave him a Razzie for that role. He’s is brilliant as Batguy.

I will be really sad if this is true.
Here’s hoping it’s just a rumour and nothing more!
Captain JJ
February 14, 2017 at 09:10
Yea. I agree. I really enjoy him at Batman. There are other characters in that franchise however that need changing instead.

He is a good Batman but they can just keep Lex locked up for all I care.
Captain JJ
February 14, 2017 at 09:18
They can keep Leto too, but just redesign that awfully cliche thug Joker.

I know we’ve seen very little of him, but so far, Cyborg isn’t giving me much confidence.
Captain JJ
February 14, 2017 at 09:18
Hmm. Yea. I wonder about him.

Darnit, I already have Stardew Valley. I guess I should gift it to somebody if I do get this bundle.

I already have all the games in the bundle that I want. #firstworldproblems.

Good thing I have stopped buying bundles. Half the games I already own and the other half I most likely won’t EVER get round to playing.

Don’t buy it! Don’t buy it! Must keep strong!

Nice bundle but I got almost all of them as free games on my PSN over the past 2 years. Ya there is the odd one that is only for PC but I’ll pass on it. Backlog on Steam and PS is already big enough to take 5 years to finish
