I made a trade and got beta keys. Is that a problem?

I usually do not make unbundled trades so never had this before. I sent him my normal Humble key and got two beta keys back.
During the trade I did not notice it but now I see that they are both beta keys. Is that a problem? Do I have the games or do I have a small unfinished part of these games?
Put it different, did I get scammed?

You might be, as some betakeys get removed once the full game is released.
Which betakeys did you receive?

Is there a possibility to check somewhere as as far as I know both games are released fully.
I got Cradle and Homesick.

Hmm, Cradle might be permanent, as you seem to get 2 betakeys when you have supported the kickstarter. I'm not sure about Homesick.

Well that sounds good as that was the game I most wanted. Learned a lesson here to never do this again. Stupid newbee :).
Let's hope I learned it the soft way instead of the hard way.

I don't think it's a problem.
Both games are already released.
If you can activate the keys it should be permanent.

It depends on the game. Beta key may be a full game, or a guest pass.

It doesn't matter when you traded. What proximus said is what you need to know, ignore other comments.

Sounds like you got scammed. Beta is normaly time limited version for testing before final release.

Look at your licenses page, does it say anything about the game being a beta version ?

Yes both say key for beta testing on my licenses page.

"For beta testing" are keys handed out by devs for reviews & all I believe, it's not the same as a public beta. I got one for Shelter 2 some months ago and I still have the game.

On your profile games list, it looks like you have the full games. If you want to be sure, I'd go to the games' discussion forums and see if there's any information on beta keys.

It depends on the games. For example, the Vermintide beta is only the beta, but a good number of other betas are the full thing. Indie games tend to be more "beta is full game on release" than AAA games.
