So I have had a Macdows 95 key on Humble Bundle that just got removed. I was waiting two months for them to restock them, HB support told me they would do this and they have just silently removed it from my accout. Did that happen to you as well?

I honestly feel kinda cheated because the key was a part of a monthly bundle I have paid for.

HB support told me they would do this and they have just silently removed it from my accout.

So Macdows 95 no longer shows up at all in your HB key list, correct?

Anyone else with the June 2019 monthly bundle should be able to confirm whether they too don't have a listing for Macdows 95.

This is definitely a weird situation where keys ran out, but its kind of a revocation in that HB will no longer show people that the keys were available for this game in a bundle.

Some background for others: Macdows 95 keys were added to June 2019's monthly bundle well after the bundle was revealed but 2 months ago keys ran out, and according to a tweet linked in this discussion thread the dev promised to replenish them.

Barter often provides info on stuff like this in large part thanks to Lilly 💜

I just checked and mine has been removed from my key list too. I too was waiting for them to resupply so I could add it to my account.

Must be a mass screw up. I see mine is gone as well. Its listed as unredeemed on my master spreadsheet. Yet does not show at all on the purchase page other then the download link. I have it listed as both types on my sheet.

edit. Ticket Submitted. Asked that it be fixed and let them know they may have a mass issue on their end if they are not already aware.

It's not a screwup. It's clear the Macdows dev has requested them all to be removed.
I believe this game was promoted by humble, and even though keys weren't promised, they ended up being provided, in limited supply. Not really surprised it's come to this, though.
A DRM-free version is still downloadable from your HB purchases page, but the game doesn't appear to even be worth playing.

You are mistaken - The game was supported by HB and even the support was stating in the last few months that the keys were restocked.

Mine is also gone. Just another Rick move from HB or the game's developer. Either way, I'm not surprised.

You paid for a drm-free version on Humble Bundle, the steam key was a bonus.

it IS illigal since some people got it for the same price. HB should either revoke keys already activate or restock the keys for people who didn't get them according to EU laws (not sure about US but I think it should work there in the same way)

No, keys were not promised, the game was a drm-free release, this was before it even hit steam.
Unless you bought the game as a separate purchase that stated it came with a steam key, you have no rights.
As I mentioned, the steam key was a bonus, you bought the HB monthly with the express knowledge it was only a drm-free release.

As I told you - It was stated several times by the HB support (according to MacDows steam discussion to more than a few people) that the keys will we restocked. Also old HB monthly stated that the games each month will be on Steam (unless stated otherwise) and unbundled unbundled.

So if anything is bonus it is the DRM free version honestly. Nothing in Monthly stated that the games may be DRM free.

To clarify on what Mayanaise is talking about: It's the Humble Original game of that month. You were promised the DRM-free copy of it and when it comes out on Steam sometimes these Humble Originals also provide you with a bonus Steam key for it. It's not the other way around. In fact, we even got that game as a steam key much later from its original monthly debut.

It honestly doesn't matter. As they made it part of a paid bundle with a written promised restock it is actually illegal to "take it away" without providing compensation for it in EU.

Yep, Steam keys for this games are gone, as ShannonA81 said, looks to be something on games that got exhausted from keys, they Will not provide more keys? Or something to do with those original games they inclued in their bundles

I added the "ETHEREAL" details to my ticket. I have no idea if this was one that was added after or not. Its on my sheet as owned but unredeemed. I never thought to put an added date in the sheet. I may do so in the future. I have the original purchase date of the bundle and for each key I have redeem or giveaway dates. Bonus keys being added is not something I considered to indicate as a special case.

It is the Humble Original for that month. The steam key was added much later.

The removed all games from key list that I never got a key for including Ethereal and Roombo. Going to assume that means every game with exhausted keys is going to be gone.

I think it's the same with Fortune-499, so Humble is clearly doing something with those exhausted games.
