Maybe they had the "fair use" of gifting in mind when they started it, supposedly to give a game or two to your friends (not random internet IPs). They used to be quite open with people giving away their unwanted games and even had a (MEGA)thread in steam forums but I guess at some point IGN got tired of it and thought it's a money hole. They deleted ALL forums where you can reply in steam, only left the announcements and they're not open to comments. It didn't help that some bozos made it a "drop key for anything" thread though.
Did anyone ponder on the possibility that the winner got the key, activated in another account (willingly or not) and now is asking for extra key? I didn't go through the whole disco..
EDIT: Wanted to say convo but I'm sticking with disco now. I like it more..

I wouldn't doubt it, lots of shady people out there looking for free crap... Thankfully I built up a really steady reputation as an honest and legit trader, but when I was first starting out in trading, I had so many people pull the old,, my key is redeemed already crap it was ridiculous..
thankfully I built up my rep in a matter of about a year through trades, so now I can call people out on their bullcrap, 7 - 10 times the person will come back and give an excuse why the key didn't work.. Sometimes it'll be a revoked key that the developer invalidated and I didn't know until I searched.. Very rarely is a key actually redeemed by mistake,, It's normally some other reason such as scamming..

My comment explains things a little bit for those unaware.

It has been this way for longer than IGN owned them.

Had the same problem before but I stayed calm and nice and they replaced them, still think it's stupid they see giving away as reselling, they should just remove the gift links then.

HB support is on record (in an email they sent to a customer who wanted a key replaced) as distinguishing between personal gifting to personal friends or family (which is what gift links are intended for) and giveaways to random strangers on the internet.
Part of reason probably is because there are people who do random internet giveaways of keys for promotional purposes, such as promoting their Twitch channels or YouTube channels, and I don't think Humble wants their keys used that way.

I've always put 0% to humble bundle. Their customer support is fucking trash.

I used to do the same, but the last several support tickets I've sent in myself have been taken care of quick and painless!
Every experience is different ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've always found Humble to be very good when it comes to support ,they've even given me free keys like tier 2 of a bundle but only charged me for tier 1.
Always sorted refunds quickly with no hassle.
Can't really complain when they do nice stuff like that.
I suppose it's all about how you converse with the other person.
P.s:
Not that i haven't gotten angry sometimes on the internet ,i have ,but i just try and think before clicking that mouse these days.
It's too easy to be misunderstood when sending emails or messages back and forth.
Always best not to rush into it :)

i payed for tier 2 but i paid more than i originally wanted to because i went off to make a coffee in-between purchasing.
The BTA had increased ,i put in a complaint and told them it has charged me more than the original BTA was.
So they refunded me and only charged me a dollar and let me keep the tier 2 games.
Very nice :)
Though the guy basically said it's a one off and be more careful in future .

IDK Why they answer me like that. Supports changed ?
You got that response because of what you said to them. You told them that you were trying to give away the key you bought from them. That is a violation of their ToS. Keys bought for your HB account are supposed to be used by you, not by someone else. Gift links are designed to be given to other people and used by them.
Also, being hostile, insulting, and combative with Support will not help your case (on any site).. Always be calm and polite when eliciting help from someone.

Humble is trash nowadays ... i think i said that before ... but after losing a fuckton of keys , and basically being told
You are key re-seller we are not going to assist with your tickets anymore ... im just done with that place .
Their policy are retarded , whoever tough that giving away keys is trading/selling them is retarded ... it was good place for a while ... but not anymore

Hello to all, i am very sorry about this problem. Let me tell you all story.
May you know me, may not. I made some giveaways on last days. You can see on https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/PSfYj/im-loving-giving-gifts-l3bonus-added and https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/rn9fU/lots-of-trash Some keys comes Fanatical, some from Humble Bundle.
One of my key has problem, in this giveaway https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xjBKg/killing-floor
Ps: All keys revealed when creating ga's.
Key says "Used before". And of course i send a ticket HB and here is the messages. If someone wants i can forward original mails, all words following are untouched even a point.
Please write something to me. Am i wrong ?
EDIT 2: I LOVE HUMBLE BUNDLE. They were did something good for me. One time i was scammed for game NBA 2K17, THEY GAVED ANOTHER KEY, I said wow it was worthy game. One time they refunded wrong purchase. IDK Why they answer me like that. Supports changed ?
