Will you get this BE MINE Bundle?
Am I missing something with The Masterplan? Mine isn't a Steam key. Is that correct?

Be Mine 25 turned out to be an awesome bundle for the price. I am pleased.

Shittiest Be Mine, 3$ should have gone to my Humble Monthly.

"7 (6 steam, 1 GL) games, 1 album, 1 other ($1 Groupees coin*), and some bonuses if unlocked."
So, I notice that the second bonus is hidden as a mystery. Any idea if it's a game or music or something else?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, it's always a mystery until the previous bonus is unlocked.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, not terribly impressed with this one, but no real regrets for pre-ordering.
Dollar-wise it's a great value, but the only game I am really interested in is Link (already owned Masterplan)
The coin made it a bit more worthwhile, and maybe the mystery games will be good. :X

I left home for work this morning slightly regretting not having preordered because Exanima had been mentioned in here. I know there was no real hint pointing to that one but still... I would have been so frickin' disappointed if Exanima had been part of the bundle. Now I'm relieved and very glad I saved a couple of bucks. if it turns out to be the mystery game tho, I'm so going to faceplant on my keyboard

Is it okay to create a GA for the masterplan with the playfield key straight from groupees and activation instructions in the description?
I won the game months ago and playfield is now complaining:
"The Ownership instance is not valid. Details: packageId is not unique".
I guess I'm not allowed to have duplicates in their library,so I can't disclose the real steam key for the giveaway.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think at this point you need to sign up for another playfield account sadly, only Steam keys are allowed to giveaway so you can't do that even though in the end.. It'll be a Steam key, but ye to much hassle... :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Eeh, I think it's alright. I've done so with "IndieGameStand" .gave them the giftlink and told them to redeem it onto their acc and then they can get the steam. But IGS is way more known than playfield.. So that's the difference.. Hm.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I have no clue tbh, personally I would've maybe done it in a group/WL if that was the case for me and write in in description just to make things clear about how to redeem it.. But it's also because im that person that need to be sure haha! ;)
Dunno in public, worst case scenario it could end up in someones hands who is not very good at English & will have a hard time redeem it I guess, or that refuse to use playfield..
Comment has been collapsed.
Mine went fine. :) But I also guided them via steam chat to be sure. ^^

I don't doubt :D
But aargh, nah im not gonna encourage anyone to do it hahah.. Your gonna have to do this alone Mille! <3 =D
Comment has been collapsed.
You might be right Fruitbean.
The one I won was through playfield with instrucions in description but my english is quite decent and was no troule, for someone barely speaking english (or not at all) could be problematic.
Can't be arsed creating an alt on playfield atm, one day maybe...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I just scanned through the comments for that GA:
"writes Redeem Key is not found :("
"Can't get the code to work :("
You don't wanna deal with that I guess, then it's lesser work just doing a second Playfield account yourself I think :]
Whatever you choose to do, best of luck mate!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's just an email and password, then email verification to sign up for another account.
I had to do the same thing, and all told, it still took less than 2 minutes, so it's not as bad as some sites. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
We've previously created giveaways containing only PF keys. This was perfectly acceptable and gave away 100 TMP keys without any hassle. As long as you have a description telling how to activate it, should be easy to do.
Just clear steps like:
- Visit https://playfield.io/themasterplan
- Click activate key
etc.
Good luck :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have questions about the coin.
Should I click "reveal this product" or leave it alone?
The last sentence of description: Coin will be assigned after the bundle ends? (Do I need reveal it first?)
Comment has been collapsed.
you can't use the coin, so leave it alone. The coin will be assigned AFTER the bundle ends, so you don't have to do anything for it... just wait for the bundle to end and then you can use it
Comment has been collapsed.
Coins are always tradable, so the 'reveal' element doesn't do anything for them anyway.
(Since Reveal is used to assign products to your account, and remove their tradable-through-Groupees functionality.)
So yeah, just sit back and wait for it to become active (it usually takes a while after the bundle ends, so don't be concerned if it doesn't activate right after). :)

First Time pre-ordering from groupees
This is my first BM bundle
Was interested in Gemini and hoped for other games to be cool after all they Hype about BM bundles.. Lets just hope that the mystery game is good enough

Lol, what luck that my ASF is running in france. It just redeemed my "locked in germany" key for me without a hitch :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have Archi's Steam Farm running on a super small server to automatically idle my games for cards when my account is not in use. And to help with card farming it has an option to redeem keys for you, usually meant for alt accounts, so you don't have to sign in as them to add games. But seeing how the server I rented it located in France I tried to see what happens when I tell it to redeem Gemini: Heroes Reborn to my main account. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for explaining. Sounds like something reeeaaaallly complicated (too much skillz required 4 me).
Comment has been collapsed.
If you just wanna use ti to redeem the key, definitely... Well, not so much conceptually, in essence I just have a steam client in France, but the setup needed, yeah... cause it's a pretty roundabout way to get it done. And it uses the fact that I pay money for a server anyway ;)
I would offer you use of my server, but I can't think of an easy way to do it... Cause you would in essence have to hand over access to your account...
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, nah, thanks, but thanks for the thought :)
I decided to dump that bundle on Group Buys anyways after I've seen the only game I was interested in was region locked/censored. It was way too overpriced on top of that, no regrets.
Just asking because if the Mystery Game turns out to be mind-blowing I might use one of my coins and thus be confronted with the Gemini issue again. Oh how I hate that censoring crap sigh
Comment has been collapsed.
Groupees just assigned a German key for Gemini. I have no use for it, if you want it I will gladly give it to you.
Comment has been collapsed.
What a kind offer! (Sorry for the late reply btw, I was doing aurorable's puzzles in the last few hours...)
Pondering wether to accept your generous offer or not. On the one hand this is the game I was after in the bundle. On the other hand I'm deeply against any form of censorship and having this game only in a cut form was the reason for me to get rid of the bundle. Now I was reading a bit into this and they said they made it "less gory" for the German market (whatever that means).
I'm sending you a friend request, Vaart, so we can exchange thoughts on the matter ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
No need to apologize, you reply when you can and have the time to do so.
I can understand your dilemma, censorship in any form is bad and I'm against it too but as you wrote, in this one however it doesn't seem to be too bad. This game is the only reason you (and me) bought the bundle, so in this case, I think you can make an exception since you will get the game as a gift and not as you buying/supporting this kind of thing. Either way, I just saw and accepted your friend request on Steam so we can exchange thoughts about it, until then the key is waiting for your decision. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Terrible Be Mine, I'm disappointed. The only game that looks somewhat decent is Gemini: Heroes Reborn.

The bundle is not bad. Joined in and hoped for Gemini :-)
If the Mystery game is good (but I doubt) it's absolutely worth my monezzz

Can you giveaway playfield keys on Steam gifts? RE The Masterplan.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well... maybe... The rules state
All giveaways should be for Steam redeemable gifts or Steam redeemable keys.
[...]
You cannot ask users to perform any special action in order for their entry to be considered valid, such as liking a Facebook page, or following a Twitter account.
And technically you are asking them so sign up somewhere else before they get their key... But I have seen a few GAs where you had to redeem something somewhere else first to get the steam key... Similar to how it's okay to give away humblebundle gift links...
Comment has been collapsed.
I've seen a lot that say you have to join "this steam group" before you can enter.
Sometimes followed by "you will not win the key if are not a member of the group at time of checking"
Comment has been collapsed.
Depends on where they say it. If it's just in the GA description of a normal GA then that would be against the rules. Bust most of the times I see stuff like this the say it in a post and make the GA group only, which then makes it not so much a special rule as just explaining how group GAs work and mentioning there is a group GA for a public group ;-)

Why don't you just sign up at Playfield yourself, get the Steam key and give that away?

Gemini: Heroes Reborn not activatable in germany wow....(with VPN activatable and without playable) :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I always hear people saying that activating keys via VPN might ban your steam account. Is it just a rumor?
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a hard time imaging that they would hunt people that try to avoid censorship, but as people use it to exploit prices through Steam, I don't think they need to know your reasons to punish you for it if they wanted to tbh.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just read an article from a german gaming related site. It's unlikely but possible to get banned. Not worth the risk. No gore version seems to be the way I guess.

"Announcements
Gemini: Heroes Reborn now contains both ROW and German keys."

German keys for Gemini has been assigned."
It seems I have a German key aswell even though I activated mine from the start :o
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the update :)
Does anyone know if the ROW key is still active if you've redeemed your German key?
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe a stupid question, but why are the Germans not allowed to play all games?
And what can I do with the German key?
Comment has been collapsed.
As far as im concerned they just have very wierd cencorship laws, but I should let someone else answer that most likely! :D
No clue tbh, im not to much help here I feel.. I saw something about cyanic mention in the chat that he thought the key might only be redeemable in Germany, but he was not sure.. I guess you could do pretty much... What you want with it at this point haha!
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok didnt know that (I live in Holland so I should have known, I live 5 min away from Germany)
Thanks for trying to answer :)
So now I need to find a friendly German to give my key :))
Comment has been collapsed.
No problems at all, ye either that or just wait for someone else to confirm here if you're even able to gift it to anyone :)
Mostly in games it's because yeah, you know what they went through in the past.... Like, Wolfenstein, many zombie games I think for certain reasons etc... South Park had cut version aswell, why Gemini would have it I have no clue really :o!
Comment has been collapsed.
makes sense:)
I will wait if we know more (traded the row key, cause its not my kind of game anyway)
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds like a plan, still got my German key laying around aswell.. That I have no clue what to do with either, but as I didn't expect to get another one as I already had redemeed mine i'll just let it be there for now until I have more info aswell about them :D
Comment has been collapsed.
or maybe I will be the first to let others know. I will aks in the trade section if there is a German who wants it (for trading something otherwise I get to many repsonses) will let you know if I know more

The developer wanted a fsk 16 (like pgi 16) for his game and thought it would be hard in germany to get this (the game would not be a problem at all. the new doom has fsk 18 and is uncut the developer/publisher is just.... nah I don't say it)
Comment has been collapsed.
mainly just misinformation, whatever they tried to achieve, keeping germans out via a region lock is not demanded by any german law.
Comment has been collapsed.
You are from Germany right?
Can you explain why some games are not allowed to be played in Germany
This isnt the first time I saw it
Comment has been collapsed.
Well it is not that easy to explain.
One big nogo are swastikas. Games are not declared as a form of art here in germany and are therefore prohibited to display any swastika, because the symbol is banned by law here in germany. Any infringement on this case is interpreted as glorification of the whole nazi thing.
The second much complexer reason for any censorship is the german protection of the youth. If you want your game to be available for non adults and be allowed to advertise your product, you need to send your game to a german institution (USK) and pay them to review and rate your game for the german market. I guess sometimes publisher dont want to be rated as 18+ as they think like in usa they lose out on alot of customers this way and cut some mature content from their games.
Comment has been collapsed.
thank you for this explanation. I live at the border with Germany and back in the days I bought a lot of games in Germany (a lot cheaper due to taxes then in Holland)
But I never have noticed it. Or is this a new law? I bought the games when Germany still had the DMark
Btw do you already have Gemini: Heroes Reborn the German version?
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess the whole thing is probably older than the PEGI, if you are really interested in this subject you should checkout the usk webpage i linked above. They have alot of information available in english language for clarification and transparency reasons.

So it seems separate (lower violence) German keys for Gemini have been added to everyone's account, and basically count as a second key which non-Germans can give away or trade to said Germans. Two for the price of one, sorta.

I see this was already posted about, but hopefully that clarifies for people worried about making use of both keys.

There's some confusing about the ROW keys and German keys for Gemini, so copied this from chat:
Cyanic: Flow chart: ROW -> ROW key only, German -> German key only. If ROW redeemed, German key can be redeemed, but will be German version.
cheshirecatgirl: confused too.....
I am in the Netherlands so redeemed the ROW key
Can I still give away the German key?
Cyanic: Yes
I guess we can make giveaways for Germans then with all those spare keys!

Probably best to ignore the content indicator for now, because things are still being built.
has 2 games that Miller is "personally interested in"
come from Miller's wishlist( wish list rumor denied - Miller commented saying they aren't necessarily in his WL)Cyanic:
So known so far: 6 Steam, 1 Greenlight. 1 Steam was bundled in Humble Monthly. Reviews are above 70% to 100%.
Miller has confirmed he got a Monthly game into the bundle
"Miller mentioned more, it was in one of the first three monthlies." (Take this with a grain of salt)
Look below to see a list of possible games. Remember, only ONE of these games will be included in the Be Mine #25 Bundle. Happy guessing!
Guess ONE game out of any of the following games from the first 3 HB Monthly Bundles.
Thanks for the list, KBoomDUMAL
