Humble’s Latest Monthly Bundle is a Steal for Spyro fans, but a betrayal for existing owners

There is no getting around this, Humble’s November Monthly Bundie is a steal, even without considering the bundle’s future unlocked. Right now it offers PC gamers the Steam versions of the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy, Call of Duty: WWII and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy for £10/$12. Better still, more games will be unlocked on November 1st, adding more value to the mix. 

This is a fantastic deal for Spyro and Crash fans, but existing owners of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy on PC should feel betrayed, as the game launched on PC on September 3rd for £34.99. Yes, little more than a month after launch, Activision is practically giving away the Spyro Reignited Trilogy on PC. Add this to the bugs, and other issues that we mentioned in our Performance Analysis for the title and all early owners of the Spyro Reignited trilogy have a right to be aggravated. 

Even at £10, this bundle would represent a price cut of over 70%, and if you assign any value to Activision’s other bundled games, the price cut becomes steeper. Activision allowed this bundle to be created knowing that Steam’s refund window will be closed for all early purchases of Spyro were closed. They would have also known that all early purchasers of the Spyro Reignited trilogy were paying far too much for the game given today’s pricing.
