https://gg.deals/gaming-news/humble-bundle-is-swapping-your-unredeemed-steam-keys-for-epic-versions-without-any-notice/>But in recent months something has changed, and users are beginning to notice a worrying pattern. Games that originally included Steam keys can no longer be redeemed on Steam. >Some keys now show as exhausted, while others have been swapped for Epic Games Store or GOG activations without any communication or consent. The scale of these replacements is increasing, and players who assumed their purchased keys were safe are now discovering they may no longer exist.>Users reported that titles from both old Humble Bundles and Humble Choice months had their unredeemed Steam keys replaced with Epic versions. What the FUCK is this shit? If I buy a Steam key I expect a fucking Steam key and not fucking EGS. Fuck those cunts at Humble Bundle trying to force an EGS version.
>>727698190oh no! not humble! they were good last... oh wait, well the year before th--- wait, well, like a decade ago but still! not humble!
If you by a Humble Bundle you deserve to get punished, it's the universe testing your stupidity
>>727698190Fuck that fat fuck Gaben and fuck all the gay little Steamdrones that suck his microdick
>>727698190Why are you hoarding the game keys? If you wanted to play them you would have already redeemed them.
Is anyone using humble outside of people who subbed years ago and have forgotten that it exists?
>>727698190why didn't they just redeem them
>>727698493to give out keys to anons on christmas?
>>727698696The Microsoft guy told them not to.
>>727698190>DRM-using digital store>DRM-using digital storeSo?
>>727698454i see you prefer giga cock.based epicfag
>>727698190Aren't they involved in a lawsuit against steam?
>>727698190Humble Bundle has sucked for like 10 years
>without any notice>without any communication or consentYou think a hobby full of people rule-lawyering and data-mining their products would bother reading the ToS they agree to.
>>727698696maybe they are stupid i don't know
>>727698190I haven't subbed since 2 years agodon't really care but thanks for making me feel even better
>>727698190>blmbundle>jewkrainebundledeserved.
>>727699310who the fuck reads the ToSnah actually, just this year you had heaps people sperging over switch 2 having remote disabling in the clauses, same shit every other system in the last 20 years has had but most people only knew because journalists were fishing for literally anything switch 2 to make articles out of for easy clicks
But why buy a bundle and not immediately redeeming?
>>727698190you should probably buy your steam key on steam then bucko, you DO support CHARITY right??
>>727698696I mean, its humble bundle. You buy them for 2-3 games and then there are also 6 other shovelware like Bad Rats that you also get keys for. I got a couple of the early bundles when they were starting out and there was shit like braid and limbo for .03c, and I never bothered redeeming dozens of other games because I dont even want them cluttering my library.I can understand the keys having an expiry date at some level, to prevent third parties from hunting for active keys and then trying to resell them if nothing else, but if so it should have been clearly communicated before the purchase was made.
>>727698190That's pretty shitty. I sit on keys sometimes when one game in a pack is a multiplayer game I already own then give it to a friend when talking about said game.
humble bundle never does anything good, what a dogshit company
>>727700474I don't think the keys go anywhere. It's if you don't bother to get the key in the first place
>NOOOOOOO I WANT MY GAMES ON STEAM BECAUSE...... ALL MY ERPING TRANNY FUCKING FAGGOT FRIEND USE STEAM TOO OKAY? GABEN IS LE HECKING BASED!!!!!!!!!!!Extreme cringe, yikes
>>727700482its really an excellent case study in mission creep. what began as a one-off charity drive evolves into a regular event, and then a permanent fixture, and then a marketplace, all encapsulated in a 10 year span with pretty clean and obvious transition points.
>>727698493>>727698696Why is /v/ so pro-scamming these days? Is the Indian theory correct?
most of my unredeemed codes are for non-steam stuff like 3d assetpacks, and shitty software licenses that last a year at best.
>>727700940what's the scam? would it be too much effort to click the get key button for keys that you bought if you are planning to use those for something in the near future?
>>727698190no refunds
>>727700586>Buy a Big Mac>Get a Whopper instead>WOWWWWWW WHY DID YOU WANT A BIG MAN STOP BEING SO ENTITLED?
>>727698190They also have keys that expire that they don't notify customers about as well. And they will not compensate a customer with something of equal or lesser value even if they paid for a key that has expired that they didn't claim or redeem.
>>727702552It says when the key is going to expire if it will
>>727698696DO NOT REDEEM
>>727699310>buy one thing>get something else>if anything at all>no refundsHow is this legal?
>>727703286On page 756 of the eula you signed.
PC niggas be like "the great thing about PC gaming is that it is an open platform and you are not restricted to a single store".Also PC niggas when something isnt on Steam: AAIIYEEE ANTICONSUMER
>>727698696DO NOT
>>727699310>In cases where Alternate Keys are not available to replenish, Humble Bundle is not obligated to provide them.Damn, the TOS literally state they don't have to give you shit you paid for.
>>727703526>buy something from somewhere other than Steam>get shit service and/or money stolen>wtf why do consumers prefer Steam????
>>727700940What scam? If you want steam keys then redeem then. If you don't then leave them.
>>727698190They've been scaling back their keys in a way to fomo you with artificial scarcity, you can buy monthly bundles and they'll be "out of keys" yet you can buy the key on the store, but how could that possibly be if they have 0 keys? Humble bundle hasn't been good for years
>>727703737How is the middle man even able to take your Steam key? You paid money for a Steam key. You gave them money, they gave you the key. The transaction is over. Why are they still claiming ownership of YOUR KEY that YOU PAID FOR?
>>727703718>get shit service and/or money stolenenough about steam though
>>727703857I just don't understand why you wouldn't take the key? If I ever had stuff that I didn't need, I still took the key and put it in txt file or something
>timmy so desperate he's bribing Humble to send people keys for his shit storehumble is a scam charity anyway, you should be buying directly off of Steam instead of shady gray market sites that'll steal your credit card.
i stopped using humble after ign bought them
>>727701492>Buy a Big Mac>Don't eat it>Leave and come back the next day>Big Mac gone>WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW WHY DIDNT YOU LEAVE MY BIG MAC ON THE TABLE???
>>727705301>buy big mac>mcdonalds says they’ll keep it on hold for at least a year until you come around again to pick it up>come back 6 months later>heres my receipt I would like my saved big mac please>oh yeah here’s a shit filled baked apple pie
>>727706592maybe you should've picked it up and keep it in hold in your homo closet
>>727706592>What's your portfolio?>Age 29, 60% fries, 30% burgers, 10% shakes>12.5% Classic Fries>10% McNuggets>7.5% McChicken>10% Big Mac>10% Egg McMuffin>15% McFlurry>15% Apple Pie>10% McDouble>10% Ice Cream Cone
