From what I can find on Steam, it doesn't actually sell the GOTY version only the gold edition which includes the winter assault expansion. Still it wouldn't be the first time that a game was redeemable on Steam without actually being able to be purchased there.

Still, pretty boss of them to do this, I wonder who exactly gave this a green light since it's a pretty bold move in face of doom. But it's bound to give them lots of good points among the people, so yay THQ, don't you die on us guys.

What do you mean in the face of doom? Is the company shutting down and this is its "everything goes" sale? That would be a shame.

Installed, was only able to access the base DoW 1 campaign, so it really is the GOTY version.  From what I recall hearing when it was new, Winter Assault wasn't anything special anyways.

Let's just hope DoW3 makes it out of the barn, and without any of that horrid Games For Windows Live baggage like DoW2...  /fingers-crossed

Weeeell, managed to get pretty dang far in Saints Row (and enjoyed the journey quite a bit), but now it's bugged out to the point of being completely broken.

Still, this is the first title from the pack I didn't have from before that I've played so far, and I already think my money was very well spent.

Not quite at that point yet but their market cap is presently around $10 million - barely enough to release their upcoming games at all much less market them.

Market cap is just a number.  For THQ it's not a pretty number right now, but it's not a ticking armageddon clock over its head, either.

This bundle was a solid bump to the revenue stream, operating cash.  Wells Fargo also seems to be willing to work with THQ in the short term regarding credit, which I feel is a positive sign.  They just need to hold out until CoH2 is released, which I feel will be soon, probably Spring-ish. (the game looks to be basically done from recent gameplay vids; Relic aren't the sort to cast an illusion there)

Once CoH2 is out, things will be pointed in the right direction for THQ, and they can stand down from "all hands to bilge-ratting."

Just bought the bundle, gave most of the cash to THQ.

Really wishing that someone mentioned how the original games on the list were all under the same Steam key. I was planning on giving away some of the games and I'm not sure if the extra copies will appear in my inventory or not.

DoW2:Retribution released with Steamworks instead of GFWL. At least one of the developers is on record saying how happy they were to make the change. So I strongly doubt DoW3, if it's ever made, would return to GFWL.

Hey, does anyone know if I buy it above average price now, and they add more games to it, will I get those too?

You will, but I think its unlikely that they will add another game with only 6 hours on the clock.

[Metalax]

Just under 5 hours left. If there is to be any other games added, it will be when it tips over the $5 million mark.

[ScriptWolf]

not sure if right thread. But fuck me THQ has declared bankruptcy wow...

[Kagus]

Oh, uhh...  Wow.  Whoopsies.

Well, that's a damn shame.

[dennislp3]

Well luckily...so far everything seems to be remaining intact...no layoffs and no game cancellations so far...

[0x517A5D]

Which kind of bankruptcy?  Reorganization or fire-sale?
