Humble Bundle Gift Links: Why Don't They Also Transfer The DRM-Free Version?

GOG is way more open about this DRM-free thing, and the experience with it is that while some people do share and put the DRM-free installers on torrent sites or hosters, people still buy them. More so, DRM-free is a very tempting offer nowadays.
And sure, maybe people share some with a few friends, but the incline to pirate games which you can have for low prices DRM-free is very low, actually. People still rather them them legit and officially, even if, in GOG's case, the pirated product is the exact same, bit by bit. The urge to "own" something, especially since the gaming industry on PC (and even on consoles) is more like selling licenses, is really high.

Plus, strange as it sounds, not all gamers, even the non-casual ones, are on Steam. So for some Steam keys are just a burden.

I know for a fact that in some extremely rare cases the gifts links do include DRM-free versions and soundtrack. But I think this only apply for the bundles that include 3-packs of a game.
I know this because I got a game this way once.

I have often wondered this myself and have no good answer.

Not a dumb question at all. I was talking about this with someone else just the other day.

I also would like if the DRM Free Versions and Soundtracks would also come with the gifts.

Well could the winner of a giveaway request it from the giver? Is there are way to send the file through email or something?

If you buy a bundle, you can't give DRM-free games ownership individually. You can, however, buy a bundle as a gift. Then give the whole bundle to another person. The receiver will get complete ownership of the games included in the bundle, including the DRM-free copies, Steam key, and soundtracks if available.

It's definitely not a stupid question, something have wondered myself sometimes. Seems strange to buy two copies of some games effectively, one on Steam and one on download. Suppose part of answer is that you are the only license holder as the buyer, so they could even give 10 different OS versions and it is still only one license.

What about if you buy a game from the store as a gift? Is the drm-free version delivered too?

Even if it did send it there'd be no way to know whether it had been downloaded as the drm downloads aren't obscured like keys are. You'd need to ikement similar to what Murfie uses where you can trade your items and stream th3m but once you request a download it becomes locked to your account.

So Groupees recently implemented something into their account pages in that each game in a bundle, even if DRM-Free only, can be individually redeemed or gifted. So if you intend to give your unredeemed DRM-Free license, you can do so without ever having access to the DRM-Free file. Humble could potentially do something like this in their system, if they were so inclined.

Personally speaking, the way the Humble system works, I do feel that Humble considers bundle purchases that include both DRM-Free and Steam keys to be two, separate licenses. If Humble were adamant about keeping them as one license, then they should re-implement redemption of Steam keys to a single Steam account which is tied to the Humble account via API.
