humble gave me two copies of a game?

Closed

i bought the new humble bundle and right afterward i revealed and copied all the keys to a file. i checked my keys page today and it showed 'observer' as not being revealed. i went ahead and revealed the key, assuming that it would match the one i had already copied, but it was different. now i have two unique keys for it. any of you ever hear of something like this before?

they had problems with the observer keys. I bought the bundle as well but my key for observer did not work right away. Then two days later they fixed the problem and it seems like everyone got a new key. so if yours have been working at the first time I guess you are lucky and are having two keys now :)

i already had the game so i just copied it down so i could give it away sometime. so basically what i'm getting from this is that the first key is probably invalid and i should only give away the second key? or some people weren't able to get the first key at all?

edit- yep, looks like the first key is invalid when i try to redeem it on steam. thank you 🙂

I think they had a bug at the launch of the bundle, where _Observer keys were not being correctly delivered (instead redeeming a different game, Spelunky if I'm not mistaken). Most likely, they now over-corrected, by providing new keys to everyone. Should not be a recurring issue.
