Humble THQ Bundle ends, earns $5 million from 885,000 bundles
The Humble Indie Bundle's first decidedly non-indie bundle, the THQ Bundle, has come to its anticipated end. All told, says the organization, the bundle raised $5 million, split as buyers chose between THQ, charity donations, and the Humble Bundle group itself.The whole project seems to have been a rousing success: 885,251 bundles went out the door, and THQ added a few big games into the pack during the sale. The average price for all titles sold was $5.76, and the top contributor to the cause was THQ's president Jason Rubin, who at the end had contributed a total of $10,000 to the proceedings.In fact, considering THQ's financial battles lately, this might be one of the company's biggest successes this year. Wonder what else they've got over there to bundle up and sell out the door?
THQ Humble Bundle adds Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War
The kind of ridiculous THQ Humble Bundle has added yet another game, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Game of the Year Edition. The space marine-filled RTS joins eight other THQ PC games including Saints Row The Third, Red Faction: Armageddon, Metro 2033, Darksiders, Titan Quest and Company of Heroes and its two standalone expansions.Dawn of War is now included for those who pay above the average bundle price, as are Saints Row The Third and Titan Quest. With said price hovering just under $6 as of this writing, that's a lot of games for not a lot of scratch.
Humble THQ Bundle receives 'Titan Quest' addition, Red Faction DLC
The Humble THQ Bundle received a couple little bonus additions today, in the form of Titan Quest and the Red Faction: Armageddon downloadable content "Path of War." Titan Quest was a Diablo-esque RPG created by the now shuttered Iron Lore studios. Red Faction: Armageddon's "Path of War" DLC was released shortly after THQ announced it would abandon the franchise.The Humble THQ Bundle, which includes a cornucopia of the publisher's games, earned over $2 million in 24 hours. With six days to go on the pay-what-you-want bundle, it's currently pulled in $3.7 million, with the average purchase of the eight-game bundle a mere $5.58. That's about four and half shares of THQ stock.Update: Little bit of confusion about whether those who previously purchased the bundle receive the new items. Yes, you do.

Humble THQ Bundle well over $2 million, THQ president is top contributor
In just over 24 hours, the Humble THQ Bundle has brought in $2,386,749.04 (and rapidly counting), proving that any misgivings that some might have had over a non-DRM-free, Windows-only, less indie than usual Humble Bundle were trumped by the desire for cheap games – and charity, of course.The top contributor as of writing is THQ president Jason Rubin, who paid $1,050 for games he certainly could have gotten for free. In third place is Turtle Rock Studios, whose $1024 contribution may just help keep THQ going long enough for Turtle Rock to finish its game.
Humble THQ Bundle has Saints Row, Darksiders, Metro 2033, more
The Humble Indie Bundle has taken a turn for the mainstream, today offering the Humble THQ Bundle, which includes six THQ games for whatever price you think they're worth, available for two weeks.

Each purchase comes with the soundtracks for Saints Row: The Third, Darksiders and Red Faction: Armageddon, and two Company of Heroes compilations.As always, the Humble Bundle includes the option to distribute your money as you wish, between charity, THQ or Humble Bundle itself.
