Humble THQ Bundle adds Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War
by Alice O'Connor, Dec 10, 2012 12:30pm PSTDo you enjoy playing video games on your personal computer, and have a few dollars spare? Then you have probably bought the Humble THQ Bundle already. If not, though, the pay-what-you-want bundle is now an even bigger bargain, as the publisher today threw in Relic's RTS Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War on top of the many other fine games already in it. It ends Wednesday, so get your skates on.
Everyone who bought the bundle before this announcement will have Dawn of War added for free, but newcomers will need to beat the average price to get it.
So, to sum up, for as little as $1 (which you'd surely pay more than), you get Steam keys for Company of Heroes, CoH: Opposing Fronts, CoH: Tales of Valor, Darksiders, Metro 2033, and Red Faction Armageddon. If you beat the average price, which is $5.63 as I write this, you'll get Saints Row: The Third, Titan Quest, and now Dawn of War too. So, lots of video games.
Unsurprisingly, the first AAA bundle from Humble Bundle has been pretty popular. It's sold over 750,000, a record amount for HB, but the average price paid is unusually low. Macateers and Linuxnauts usually pay more than Windowsheads but none of these games are for their platforms, which will help drag this down. Plus, of course, some are none too pleased about Humble Bundle joining up with a big publisher and briefly stepping away from its core tenets of multiplatform and DRM-free, but will still want to buy the games.

Steam forums have many people "enquiring" about this issue, as you can not currently buy Winter Assault by itself via Steam either. People confused, like me, because of the link to the store. Some even say the install folder says it's gold (with WA), and some say the WA exe is in the folder as well but it only launches the vanilla version.
So yeah, if you want WA , at this stage, you need to buy the anthology or buy WA from the THQ store direct.
"basically right now the only way to get Winter Assault if you've activated the GOTY key from the THQ bundle is to buy the Dawn of War Platnium (Anthology) Edition or wait to see if Valve will resolve the issue with the shop detecting the GOTY edition as the Gold Edition."
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....
