The Humble Indie Bundle 3 Released [Slashdot]

[YoshiM]

Ugh...too tempting. I haven't had time to play the games of the other bundles but to help out good causes and support the indie developers as that's where a lot of my attention has been going with modern games, I'm probably gonna jump. Just can't afford what I paid last time.

GUYS, there is only one day left. Please help them to reach 2 million dollars donated. There is a total of 12 games now for whatever price you wish!! I'd say that over half of them are WELL worth it. Hell the whole bundle is worth a hundred bucks or more to me, but donate whatever you wish! Don't pass this up, lot's of good games!!

So, how do I go abouts using this 'free Minecraft till the 14th' thing? I've never played Minecraft and neither site is being very specific.

Minecraft, I don't know anything of Minecraft being available with the bundle. Am I missing something? Both of my personal Humble Bundle #2/3 download links don't have any mention of this.

Looks like you have to have an account with minecraft in order to play the game free until the 14th. (haven't registered with it yet so this is just a guess to how it works, but seems pretty simple)

Click on the "Click Here to Play Minecraft for Free Durrng the Bundle" button on your downloads page and a section of the page will open up giving you a free till the 14th key..im guessing.

If you read the THIB site, under Bundle #2, it says:

Humble Bonus: everyone who buys the bundle gets to play Minecraft for free until August 14th!

Go to https://www.minecraft.net/ , register an account (it's free), then go to https://www.minecraft.net/humble/ , log in and enter your key when it asks you for it.

I just went through the process and it took me about 3 minutes. Once you have the minecraft account you can even use a link in the humble indie bundle download page which routes you directly to your redeem codes page on minecraft.com with the code inserted. Then all you need to do is hit redeem and download the exe for minecraft.

Ah, cool beans, that worked fine. Thanks!
