Green Man Gaming is the clear winner even if you don't receive their VIP discounts, because you don't need to pay for any subscriptions or shop in their store again to receive the same discount that you would at Humble Bundle.
Important notes: Windows 8 has been removed from the list of supported operating systems for Resident Evil 2 because it's no longer supported by Microsoft; with that said, Windows 8.1 is supported.
*VIP offer may not be available for every member.
