So points to consider that are mixed in their views. For example, the current Humble Weekly info states "Please note this bundle provides Steam keys only." This is misleading, as it does not provide keys at all. I just want to offer some points for consideration and perspective, given how some people are already responding to the new activation system harshly. I hope Humble alter their wording and promotional material to indicate this fact. As is, it gives the impression that their 'product' includes Steam keys for all included games. This could be something specific to this Weekly sale related to the developers / existing publishers of the Worms / Alien Breed games.Ĥ) Humble may find it wise to change their future wording of their sales and bundles to state that when it comes to Steam activations, you are paying for titles you don't already own. As we don't have the information to know for certain who is to 'blame' if you feel you need to 'blame' someone, cool your jets until you have the facts. Valve may have encouraged Humble to put this system in place. Everyone knows the increasingly massive impact that Humble have and how reknowned their sales are on providing Steam keys. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.ģ) It may not be Humble's decision alone to put this system in place. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Humble Bundle without restriction. To request keys, click the 'Request Steam Product Keys' button on your application's landing page in Steamworks. Using Keys Requesting Keys Keys are obtained by requesting them in the Steamworks portal. You will need to generate keys for the individual apps in the bundle. or otherwise exploiting the Products (defined below) in any manner other than for your own private, non-commercial, personal use. Steam Bundles Steam keys cannot be generated for Steam bundles. You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities. I would recommend anyone who wants to complain to read it entirely before raising your pitchforks so you are informed:Įdit: The ToS says the following regarding restricting the product's use to private, personal use: Instead it kind of implies ownership of a 'product' and is more vague, though I'm going to re-read it more closely. We have been lucky up until this point and should be grateful that the ability to do so has been available so far without either Humble, Valve, Desura, or the respective devs getting antsy about it.Ģ) However, I cannot right now find the exact part of the ToS that exactly says giving your product keys to other people is forbidden. They state that it is against their Terms of Service:
They have otherwise turned a blind eye to it until now. Sharing / trading / giving away your activation keys has never been something that Humble have allowed when buying their Bundles. I just want to offer some points for consideration and perspective, given how some people are already responding to the new activation system harshly. I posted the following comment on an r/gamedeals thread about the change and feel it could be useful here too:
