Humble Summer Sale Keys exhausted?

And you only found that out like now?

They had limited amount of keys and they were mercilessly farmed by bots. Also it looks like they don't give a damn about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's IGN now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They even initiated a revocation for unactivated Glass Wings and Meadow Steam keys.

I think this is the new policy of HB in general - unused keys get expired and you are not able to reveal them anymore, even in purchased bundles.

Most of those keys became exhausted almost as soon as they became available for claiming. Bot harvesting them for resale, I guess, which is probably also why they revoked unactivated keys. I was lucky to get Glass Masquerade but couldn't get anything else quick enough. It was nice of Tiny Bang Story's devs to make that freely available on Steam when the keys got harvested to death.

I'm genuinely frustrated by Humble for doing this.
First of all, they dangle these games in front of you like keys to a toddler, claiming they'll get them if they visit the site. They run out of keys and just don't restock them at all.
Secondly, these keys (including the now-expired Glass Masquerade) remain in your unredeemed key list. Just get rid of them and move on. The constant reminder of the unprofessional behaviour from Humble doesn't help them and makes me frustrated every time I see it.
Third, they had their cake and ate it too. They got constant visits, to the site which undoubtedly meant they got more sales, while not having to actually give people what they promised.
Fourth, Humble's so inept at their customer service that people are legitimately afraid of contacting them. People contact them in good faith because Humble's screwed up, Humble looks at their account and just says "Nah mate, you're a trader, we owe you nothing and you can now just fuck off kindly" without any ways of really rebutting their unsubstantiated claims.

To anyone who's planning to say "But the games are free, so Humble shouldn't be obligated to do anything!", it's not free. These games didn't cost you money, but it was anything but free. They offered a product in exchange for you remembering Humble daily, visiting their site daily which leads to potential purchases, positive word-of-mouth/overall PR and developing a habit of visiting Humble more frequently. It's the Facebook type system of a service. They won't take money directly, but they're still getting something that's going to be worth money indirectly.

Humble's starting to creep into my shitlist. It's baffling to me that UPlay is more customer friendly than Humble.

Also, this isn't purely IGN, something that people like screeching like a catchphrase. This was going on before IGN owned them. The bad customer service was present, the running out of keys was an issue for free things and let's not forget Humble Monthly, which is a thing that people eventually just accepted (Humble dealt a lot with charities, but the monthlies barely contribute to charities).

Humble's still got good games for their bundles/monthlies though, so it'll probably be enough to keep them in the good books for most people for now. But these issues are becoming more and more common.

I wasn't able to get a single game either from their latest stamp events, and while one should be rightfully pissed at Humble Bundle as they didn't keep their end of the bargain and deliver the games they promised us, it should be pointed out that resellers/traders/bots jumped on the keys like hungry animals. I saw giveaways with 5 copies of the said games being made on this very website, as usual, a bunch of greedy rotten apples make it bad for the rest of us.
