Humble Weekly Sale: Team 17

just bought it!

is it 2 keys?

I like the ease of how you can redeem them, I can see a lot of people getting butthurt though because they wanna gift individual keys.

You can unlink your account, so it should still be possible to use keys on multiple accounts, but unless you can prove you own them all you might be opening yourself up to issues if they decide to start cracking down (and you'd need to give people access to your page to be able to claim the game) - so it looks like trading is pretty much over, which I'm cool with, but giveaways are over too except for full bundles. Not an issue for bundle whores like me (and we'll hopefully get less people asking about their bundle CV) but it's a bit of a shame for others.

None of the games interest me, but the account linking thing sounds interesting. I look forward to trying it out in the next bundle.

got 1$, I'm gonna let this new tactic slide of linking your steam account for now. But next time that a bundle has a lot of repeats. Looks like I'm gonna pass buying HIB in the future If I can't gift the keys that I already own to my friends

Interesting change of policy.

Great, I already own Worms Armagaddon and I can't even give it to a friend. As for Worms Revolution Gold, I already have the game on my account, without any DLC, so I'm not too sure what would happen if I want to activate the Gold Edition...

I guess I was "lucky"? enough to get steam keys for all the games then.

Linking now? Hmm really interesting.

Oh they did a great bundle!!! I thought it will be another shit. But I already have this games.

EDit: but wait a sec, there is no key, another redeeming system? WTF, still worth if you haven't any of the games.

No more CD Keys, finally they got smarter and kicked in the butt all those exploiters.

And no humble monthly bundle ? :S

Im guessing Worms Ultimate Mayhem doesn't come with all the DLC?

With this Steam account linking system, they should use it to finally pound into their heads how many of their customers already own certain games and stop repeating them in future bundles.
Not that they didn't already know they were repeating games, but now they can see clear statistical proof that almost all of us own most of the games they seem to like repeating.

I don't really understand, can I share the link to give away the game or not?

System is GREAT! To the whiners who say " won't buy if I can't gift a game" I call BS. First off, if even a single game is one you like, and it is non-BTA, $1 is cheaper than buying it anywhere else. SECOND, it benefits charity, its not just about getting every single title with all the DLC for $1 so you can have 800 games in your steam profile of which you have played 50. THIRD, we were never supposed to gift the extras. Almost everyone did either share with a friend or put some extra keys on Steam Gifts. Instead of QQ that you can't do it anymore, realize we were breaking the rules before, there are no consequences, and now we are being held to the rules we agreed to in the TOS.

The new system is really no different from getting a single key for the entire bundle. All the new whining is silly. ROOAARRR!! MAD I NO HAVE KEY FOR EACH GAME ROAR!!! Excuse me, when they gave a single key for the entire bundle, you didn't get single keys either. The new system is much more flexible. Makes it easier to redeem games and if you want to share a game you just unlink your account, link it to you friend, then redeem that key. Only now you have to actually have a friend you trust. If you really trust the person, then gaining access to their account isn't an issue.

Most of the ROOOAAARR MAADDD !!!! is because you aren't sharing with close friends. You are selling keys or trading keys with strangers or others you don't really trust. Tough. It wasn't meant for that. I did it before, a lot of people did it before, we can't do it anymore, so "tough" to us. We can't put Humble keys on SG or trade them. We can still get gift URLS for people. We can still have very trusted friends share. You are full of BS if you say you won't buy another Humble Bundle. You will, we all will. A few duplicates won't deter anyone.
