Is it that time of the year yet?
Oh boy, that's quite nice. I'm just mad I traded Quantum Break for Sleeping Dogs a while ago, considering the definitive edition unlocked.

Crap dude, that made me hurt for you. I can only imagine the frustration you feel.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh well, could be worse. I wasn't really into Quantum Break in the first place. I'd just have traded it for something else instead.

Just to get this straight here: Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is on List A in Germany. So it's 18+ and they are not allowed to advetise it. And yeah that's it. Germans are allowed to buy it, own it and play it. This is just on Humble Bunde and SquareEnix in this case.
edit turning down the language ;P

It was on List B first and was moved to A later, but SE blames Steam for not providing an age verification check (which is correct) and therefore didn't remove the geo block.
I'll most probably contact Humble Support to get the Definitive. If I need VPN or not, shouldn't be their issue.

What reliable 'age verification check' is there on Xbox?
Comment has been collapsed.
I've never had one. But well the same occurs for digital purchases in PSN. But if you'd face SE and other publishers with this, I assume it would get even worse, because locking is so much easier.

Just asking because SE happily let Xbox buyers play import copies of it, much like I believe Bethesda are happy to let people import Wolfenstein games?

Still waiting on the answer, but I expect something very similar. Thanks for sharing!
Today I received this answer ( sigh):
Thank you for reaching out to us.
The January monthly provided Sleeping Dogs Standard version for all German customers. Unfortunately we cannot provide the Definitive version, or a different replacement. Due to developer agreements, we are only able to provide the low violence version which is available through the Standard version of the game. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

So new IGN Humble does not provide refunds anymore in case of low-level regional troll games?

Man, this is so confusing. So, in terms of giveaways, there's no need to exclude Germany?
Comment has been collapsed.
as myrsan allready wrote: Steam doesn't have a system for age verification -> So they can't sell list A stuff over steam. Because of that SquareEnix made it not available for germans. SquareEnix also blocked AFAIK the activation on Steam, even when you bought it offline( there are other games we can't buy over steam, but can activate it). So you would have to exclude Germany, because (again) SquareEnix.

Depends on your potential Germans lol.
They'll want, but can't haz without violating ToS, which I'm sure many are happy to do in this case.

A monthly that includes 2 games (TR & SD) that I got from a normal weekly bundle from almost 3 years ago (Square Enix Bundle 2).
Very weak HB. You were once so good...

forget about sleeping dog and TR look at mr shifty!!!!!

Hmm... it has been almost 5 years when I completed the Tomb Raider, time flies fast.

Germans have been scammed once again. I'd rather have some Store credit instead of a different game which is region-locked for Germany. I'll try contacting the Humble Bundle support and hope for the best.

Pre-bundled games for Humble Monthly? IGN, what are you doing?
Comment has been collapsed.
You'll have to be a bit more tactical than that. Just read through this thread, or if it was the thread for next months monthly, to observe what level of subtility that's usually needed.

The reveals are ok I suppose. Of course, I would have been happy with just the early unlocks for 12$ anyway, so anything else is just a bonus really.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, pretty good bundle, I think. Cursed Castilla seems pretty good
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty good bundle.
The unlocks where awesome and even Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs are def. great games. Even if they are not the newest ones.
HIVESWAP and Hitchhiker are also looking great and I'm sure I can trade the other two games or give them away.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm from Germany and for some reason Sleeping Dogs doesn't appear as "Owned" to me anymore, even though I own the German version on Steam. I wonder if they replaced the Steam key.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am 100% sure that Tomb Raider was greyed out before and was recognised as owned on my page.
Now it is not.
Maybe they do something maybe it is an current issue with the side.
But to Keep hopes high, maybe we are lucky and get the Tomb Raider GOTY as compensation. At least the value would match :)

I decided to contact the Humble Bundle Support Ninjas, will see what they are going to do...

short question, did you get any confirmation upon creating the ticket?
I tried the same but when hitting the submit button after writing my ticket the site just reloaded and no pending ticket to be found anywhere.

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition was bundled in the Square Enix Easter Surprise Box 2016
Comment has been collapsed.
Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs were both amazing games, but ones I played long ago, so a bit of a disappointment there. Hiveswap, Mr Shifty and Hitchhiker should be good enough to play, though, along with Quantum Break and TLD. Pretty worth it overall.
Comment has been collapsed.
Heh, maybe I'll activate Tomb Raider on my kid's account and finally get those multi-player achievements by cheesing them of course.

I know a bunch of people who also still need them, if you need advice and guidance ;D

So i was deciding between sleeping dogs definitive edition and mass effect during the steam sale. Already beat them both, ended up going with mass effect. gooood choice.
Pretty interested in that hivemind Hiveswap game. I'm pleased by this bundle.

Yes!!! Im so glad I bought it! And Civ 6 for next month! Im so excited, thats been on my radar forever
Comment has been collapsed.
isnt civ 6 like not very good though? i've seen alot of mix opinion about the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
While Civ 5 is still as much as fun as when I first bought it, Civ 6 will afford me the opportunity to play differently. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I've enjoyed watching all the trailers and want to try it!

2 bundled games....well at least the first ones were nice :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Not a bad bundle but not a really good bundle either for me.
Already own TR and Sleeping dogs, not really intersted in HIVESWAP: Act 1, Mr. Shifty and Cursed Castilla for now... so just the early unlock for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
I like it because of the number of full games in it. Definitive and GOTY editions make me happy despite already owning some of them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sleeping Dogs was a decent reveal, given how good (or at least expensive) the early unlocks were.
Already had Tomb Raider and no interest in the rest.
Civ VI is a decent unlock, especially as it comes with the "Australia Tax" on Steam.

Retail price for Sleeping Dogs low violence edition in Germany is 19.99€.
