All told, says the organization, the bundle raised $5 million, split as buyers chose between THQ, charity donations, and the Humble Bundle group itself.<br /><br />The whole project seems to have been a rousing success: 885,251 bundles went out the door, and THQ <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/10/thq-humble-bundle-adds-warhammer-40k-dawn-of-war/">added a few big games</a> 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.<br /><br />In fact, considering <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/15/thq-sees-net-loss-of-239-9-million-still-in-business/">THQ's financial battles lately</a>, 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?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/12/humble-thq-bundle-ends-earns-5-million-from-885-000-bundles/">Humble THQ Bundle ends, earns $5 million from 885,000 bundles</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:30:00 EST.
