Humble Bundle Warning

2 months and 2 tickets to get a speed runners key working because i had purchased 2 of them so i could play with a friend. i had used one copy and the 2nd copy kept saying i had already used it, yes i used both copy's on my one profile that is linked to humble bundle. that was the last time i used email link from humble bundle, i just use the keys now.

Very bad news. From a looong time I use only giftlinks to giveaway games and reveal steam keys for to activate by myself. So far did not have any problems or flags (and hope it will remains that way). But most games I still not used on HB, are games which I already had on my Steam account and I will make giveaways as giftlinks (in small packages). Also many of them are not fresh buys.

I did not sell anything (only exception was around 2 not steam games from monthlies as I dont want such games from monthlies).

HB links is a kind of tracking tool for them to see how many "friends" you have
don't use them
those links have been reported for being weak, security-wise by the way (leaked, guessed or else)

HB has been known to ban with no explanation what they think is "illegal activity" with the keys you buy. Most probably they thought you were trading with the keys and got banned. Their support is really bad and I don't know if they reverse a ban.

Suspicious actions may be behind this problem.(Many unused keys+Give links etc...) It is normal for such things to happen in light of the detect fraudsters difficulties.
Good luck.

This is precisely why I NEVER give Humble a tip anymore. Crap like this. I've had a run in with their "support" and it's basically the same thing only they didn't mess with my account. I can deal with the slowness, but the rudeness, accusations and just pure jerkiness of them is beyond ridiculous. I suspect in another year they'll force tipping themselves even more. Since, they do still get a cut, anyway, but it's not enough for a shady organization.

It really is funny what happened as soon as they started making big money and stopped being humble. It was well before they even opened up their actual storefront, too.

That's quite strange.

I've used both Keys and Gift Links, both on Steamgifts and directly gifting to some of my friends.

I haven't had any issues with Humble Bundle.

Just out of curiosity, do you often use Humble from different IPs and areas? Or over a VPN?

supercollider, so sorry to hear this happened. Can you still use the Humble store and/or buy monthly Choice bundles?
