Is Humble Bundle slowly drifting away from their original concept?

Could you please format the text with more paragraphs where appropriate?

To get a linebreak you either have to press ENTER twice or have two blanks/spaces at the end of one line.

Cheers =)

HiB 1-6 had multiple games for single key...

Would be lovely if you would press enter sometimes. Thanks.

I buy the bundle because I want the games, not because I want to sell/trade them. Yes I will trade my double keys or unwanted keys, but I'm not going to avoid buying a bundle just because it's single keys. At the end of the day HiB is for charity and not for gaining profit on game keys.

Scummy people acting scummy, in turn encourages limits/regulations to be set for all-- welcome to homosapien society.

okay, first, drm free is always there for Indie Bundles, the weekly and special sales are seperate, and can be paid for 1 penny and play even multiplayer games...

1 dollar steamkeys was PER valves request, and you will note it's true just about everywhere that there is a 1 dollar minimum for steamkeys. the only exception is when groupees does single game + bundel extras for 0.75

NOT 5 games + for less than a dollar!!!

Individual keys vs bundled is ONLY on the publisher, not wolfire

I'm fine with it. The games are already dirt cheap, and if you buy a bundle and you already have a game or two in it, no big deal. You're still only paying a dollar or two for multiple games. Yes, I have given away a few "bundle leftovers" for games I already owned from a bundle, but if I couldn't it wouldn't really bother me much as I was already getting a bunch of games for next to nothing.

I honestly can't read that without proper formatting, sorry!

Dat wall

First world problems.

I see greedy people... [cit.]

I mean, what the fuck? Not only you can buy several games for less than a pizza, not only you get drm free, steam keys, linux and mac versions when possible, they even let you choose the price, and still people have to complain about "meh games", single key, "bad charities"...

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you people? Should we get back to 10 years ago when 20 bucks for a game was an incredible offer?

who cares, as long it is cheaper than Steam store, I am good. It has been awhile Gabe didnt get money form me directly from steam store.

You get 4-8 games (often AAA) for as few as 1$ (min) or 4-6$ (BTA) and still complain? :|

Just 3-4 years ago that would be simply unthinkable, be happy with what you get even if it's single code...

I would like to comment, but my eyes are hurting from the non-existent formatting....

Actually it's a steam problem - I believe you should always get additional gift copies when you buy/activate an additional license on your account, but publishers think otherwise (with the exception of Valve). I lost many games because of this (and not only because of bundle keys, steam store also does that). All in all it's an another license that you bought and you should get it to use it (give/sell) as you see fit.

Actally I like their 1-key method. It's not a big deal to "lost" some games when you can buy others which you want for 1$. The much worse are repeats, especially when you're kinda regular buyer. I got three copies of Nightsky from various HBs and had a big problem to even give it for free to somenone, because all my friends already have it too.

If you use it correctly, there wont be any difference from single and 1 key/game - as even giving to friends or SG is against theyr rules.
Sucks when you already have one or more of the games yeah, but you have to check if the ones you dont are worth the $ or not. I skipped a few bungles or BTAing just cause of that - whats left wasnt worth the cash.

I have no problems with the one-key system. Actually it's better since I can activate all the games I'm missing at the same time.

Yes and it's amazing

I buy humble bundles because I want the games. I actually don't mind one bit when the games are combined on 1 key. It is less to copy and paste to add to my account. It would be one thing if they were bundling the same games over and over with 1 or 2 new games, but they have a good variety to the games and there are few repeats. If single keys are what it takes to get better games on the Humble Bundle, great.

Go buy a bundle of crap games from indie gala or something if you want to gift them to your friends.

"Is Humble Bundle slowly drifting away from their original concept?"

"I have been a customer of HIB since quite recently"

Ok

Who knows, maybe they're using single keys exactly because people keep wanting to divide the bundles up and sell/trade the games individually.

Why don't you ask them?

I don't really think this comes anywhere close to "treating their customers like criminals"

I think it's fine as one key

either single key or mutiple key, you're not allowed to gift your keys to friends. From the HB FAQ:

If I already have a game(s) in the bundle do I have the ability to gift the extra copy in the bundle?
Unfortunately, if you already have a game in the bundle you will not be able to gift the extra games to a friend.

Please consider your bundle a "unit", and not to share copies of the games or Steam keys from it.

If you'd like to give a copy of the games away, we have a system in place that allows you to buy a gift key from www.humblebundle.com so your friends can have access to direct downloads as well as any Steam or other keys we have included.
