โš ๏ธ Region lock โš ๏ธ

โš ๏ธ The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition has some very unconventional region locks. Regional exclusions are defined for some specific countries in a region, and not for the whole region. Similarly, only some countries from a commonly region-locked region receive a region-locked key, while the others receive a ROW key.โš ๏ธ

How delighted are you about these games?

View Results
[I like the spotlight game(s)] This selection is so Temtempting! How could I dare say no to it?
[Only with limited deal] After the Summer Sale Kraken plundered my bank account, I am in dire need of a discount.
[Happy] Pretty solid bundle. Itโ€™s been a while since we had one of these.
[Neutral] Itโ€™s been exactly two years since they graced us with the previous Yakuza. Keeping it on the back burner much?
[Pause] I'm happy for those who find value in this month's Choice, but I'm pausing it. Again.
[Disappointed] The leaks werenโ€™t enticing enough for me, and I was looking forward to seeing the rest of the bundle. Just some meh stuff they picked up from a passing Merchant of the Skies.
[Canceling the subscription] I got bored of having to pause my subscription every monthโ€ฆ This is your Final Checkmate, IGN.
[Complaint] Again no Sunday Gold / Serial Cleaners? What a shame! Did they get lost on any Outer Worlds?

Exactly the key is not reserved for me is certainly very interesting, I specifically keep them in case I want to give them to someone, but apparently it is worth it to pick them up on the first day and write them down. And now who knows when the keys will be back.
Upd: Wrote personally to the publisher Private Division, I hope they are engaged in supplying keys for Humble Bundle, and even if not - will share the answer. I'll write to everyone, just as long as the keys are returned as soon as possible.

It's about 15 days already. I revealed the others key and can not ask for a refund. I feel like being cheated. No alert, no notification, money is taken and you got no key.

Btw what means "run lock" ?

Comment has been collapsed.

This package can only be run in specified countries
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine
so if u bought in this country and moved to country not from this list i guess u would not run it, but i read that its only for 3 months works xD

I'd have to wait for my key first XD
By the way I have it indicated, when clicking on the gift, that the key in general seems to be impossible to activate anywhere except my country (Ukraine). Maybe because at the moment there are no keys, but I have a huge list of countries in which the key will NOT work including RU BY

1 year ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Run lock means indeed that you won't be able to play it outside of your region for the first 90 days from the moment you activated the key.

Ukraine normally receives what the other RU/CIS countries receive, namely https://steamdb.info/sub/839816/ which can be activated only in RU/CIS countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine). In this case your notification should be "can be activated only in..." and the list should contain only these countries.

However, the Europe key can be redeemed in Ukraine too, this time (it's usually not the case), and if you say that there's a huge list of countries with the heading "not redeemable in...", then it means that this is one if the very rare cases when you get the Europe key https://steamdb.info/sub/839817/ and not the RU/CIS one.
The Europe one doesn't have a run lock.

However... a fellow user from Ukraine already confirmed when the bundle launched that you indeed receive the RU/CIS key and not the Europe one, so if you see a big list of countries, this can mean only two thigs:

  • your Humble account is not set to Ukraine / RU/CIS any more
  • they might have run out of RU/CIS keys at some point, and restocked them with Europe keys which are now also out of stock.

Wait till they restock and see what kind of notification you get then. I would appreciate if you let us know how Humble dealt with this. If you could also provide the sub id, then that would be even better.

I'M SO ANGRY NOW. This message i get from the publisher Private Division:
"Aaron Paul (Private Division Support)

Sep 6, 2023, 10:49 EDT

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out, and apologies for the delayed response!

We have already raised this with the team and based on what they explained, Humble Bundle hasn't requested anything pertaining to the keys for the Spacer's Choice Edition.

It is their responsibility to be in contact with the sales team in order for the keys to be replenished on their end.

I would highly suggest contacting them regarding this matter since this issue is on their end.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know!

Warm regards,
Aaron Paul
Private Division Support"

Aaron Paul form Braking Bad lol, btw Humble Bundle hasn't requested new keys. Guys, everyone who still don't get key to the Spacer's Choice Edition, go spam Humble Support, it's not okay.

Same thing, but i firstly write them about "when i can get the key" and this is answer from 27 august:
"Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to Humble Bundle Support! I'm sorry to hear there have been issues with receiving keys for your order.
The keys to this product are temporarily exhausted, meaning we have depleted our current stock of keys. We receive all of our keys manually in batches, and once we acquire more keys, the affected download and store pages will be updated. Unfortunately, we cannot provide estimated times for when we anticipate receiving more keys, but we greatly appreciate your patience.
Rest assured, we are working on acquiring more keys from our partners, and we are very sorry for the delay! If you receive a key exhaustion error on your download page, you will be informed via your registered email address once more keys are in stock, though we recommend you check back on your download page from time to time. More information is available in our Key Exhaustion Errors help article.
Additionally, I do apologize again as bundle keys and store keys are from separate key pools with a separate partner or contractual agreements tied to them. Sadly, we cannot move keys from a Store key pool to backfill an exhausted Bundle key.
Please let us know if you need any additional assistance with this order, as we will be happy to help as much as possible!
Regards,
-Judy M.
Humble Bundle"

And like i sent before publisher don't got a request for a new keys. (message from today) So Humble is lying?

There might just be a miscommunication between Humble and the publisher or the publisher support doesn't have the necessary info. You know how it is, sometimes one hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

But Humble is your responsible contact, they are the ones you have made a contract with. They are the ones you have to keep bothering until they fix this for you.

Yeah well it is simply what they do. If you donโ€˜t want to run the risk of waiting possibly weeks, months or years for your keys, you should not buy any of their bundles anymore

I sent a request to Humble Bundle support again for clarification as to why they haven't contacted the publisher, and they just responded to me with a boilerplate:
"Hi there,
Thanks for getting back in touch with us! I can assure you our team has been in communication with the publisher to acquire more keys.
We are genuinely very sorry for any continued issues caused by this key exhaustion. We also understand that the long wait for keys can be frustrating and discouraging, and we want to extend our apologies for the delay you have had to endure.
Key exhaustions do not have a set time that they last, as some are resolved very quickly while others may span multiple weeks. Therefore, it all depends on how quickly we can receive additional keys from our partners to refill our key pool, and we are sorry for the wait once again. While we cannot offer an estimate of when these will be replenished, as soon as keys are available, an email will be sent to the address registered for the purchase experiencing key exhaustion.
Our internal teams are still working directly with our developer partners to obtain additional keys for all active key exhaustions. We will continue to do so until the keys are restocked; however, we're sorry that members of the Support team won't have any additional information to provide on this specific key exhaustion or expectations for when the keys will arrive.
Your unwavering patience and understanding are greatly appreciated, and please let us know if you need any additional help or action taken on the purchase in question!
Sincerely,
-Brian
Humble Bundle"
So I sent my message again for them to answer the specific question or pass it on to those who can answer it, why is no one contacting the publisher, even though they indicate in the message that they are "already working on these", well of course.

Just working through this bundle - and realised I only have 7 games included. Ozymandias is missing. Not just the key, the game is not even mentioned. Weird. Submitted a ticket through Humble's support system. Will see what they say.

Edit: Support found my key, have activated it :)
