Nice?
I'm mad that they tricked people. You needed 6 stamps but You could only get 4 stamps on the last week. I was sure I have 7 days to get the stamps. I was wrong. Cheap move.

It was known upfront you needed to buy to get enough stamps, even if not it would probably have gotten stolen anyway.

It was too obvious that it was obtainable fully for free. I didn't check up the date, cause it was too obvious it shouldn't end before whole week. But they did. Cheap move and nothing else.

Bugger, read that I needed to use my Glass Masquerade key by the 1st of October. Clicked reveal, exhausted... Shouldn't they not give us a key in our library at all if they don't have any:(
I know its free, but damn, missed out on it, looked great.

They did not give a key, that is the point of yout comment. Claiming a page =/= getting a key, it is known.
Comment has been collapsed.
I couldn't get key just after claiming it. All were gone. And it was first day that it was possible to claim it, just couple of hours later! They either had really small amount of them - or they do nothing to stop army of bots from taking it :/
Comment has been collapsed.
just bots as opposed to people who snatch up keys JUST to do GAs? There seems to be more of that compared to last time

Although I'm not sure when exactly, it might be free soon on Steam as well, so stay tuned.

And the winners are:
Most of the many FreeGame Collectors with 2 - 10 HB accounts each, who grabbed the keys in a hurry ... :(
I must have also worry that the same could be also with bought Games in the future.
I'm not buying any more at the Summer Sale, Monthly Bundles etc., I also won't advertise the monthly bundle anymore.
"Free" or not. Here we are talking about the trust of the users. :(

There is no such thing as trust of users. What they should have done? Get 10,100, 1000 times more keys than they got, while they don't know how many will be claimed? Remember, HB is NOT Steam. They can not have infinite number of keys, no matter how much trust, love, passion and friendship their users have. They order X, based on a contract, and either can expand it in some ways, or they can not, and it is NOT their fault that bot farmers take the keys, the accounts you just pointed out as well (and you're very likely naive with the 2-10 free accounts, as nothing stops them from the hundreds).
It's really disheartening to see such a heartfell story of people's trust being breached for not having "enough" free keys the site couldn't get, for something that causes you no harm if you miss it out, and according to Steam's rules will have to give free soon. Sorry if I do any mistakes in my writing as I can't see from the tears about how "I trust you giving me free shit, I don't care about how" overrules basic logic.

They could copy idea from orlygifts - where you are supposed to activated game on your account or you will be banned. Yeah - some people will just create new alternative accounts each sale - but at least some won't.
Or give keys only to people who bought anything on their site in the past.
In the meantime they do nothing to stop abuse. Also their support is shit. If you have not working key - and you wrote a ticket about it... BUT you said anything else that "I couldn't activate it on my account" for example: my friend couldn't activate it you are marked as "reseller" and banned from any help in the future.
HB lost my trust because they don't give a shit about their customers, not because they give away stuff for free.

Humble Bundle can plan ahead. That is quite possible.
If I only have 100, I can make 100 possible to exchange his stamps. I don't see a problem there.
Considering the new takeover of "Humble Bundle", I see the website on a descending branch anyway. Technically, as well as regarding the expectations, what the website had always stood for.
That's my opinion. And such as that should only be accepted.
Have a nice day and have furthermore a lot of fun collecting HB-Stamps. :)

The key still exhausted until today and the slay.one & Glass Masquerade will be expired in 2 days. That just great ...

Am I the only one who thinks it's bad form just to take a free key just to do a GA with it?
Comment has been collapsed.
It is free, and it is up to people to do it or not, since most of free keys are not contributing or giving less CV.
Comment has been collapsed.
And what about selling them?
Idk if that is just a coincidence - but the same day that I could claim key (but they were already depleted) ohveykeys added new game to their store. I wonder if it will disappear in two days xD
Comment has been collapsed.
We'll see, but I see that as bad if not worse as it's depriving people who would have wanted it.
Now if ti was a key you were given for some reason (be it someone just handing it off or part of a kickstarter thing), then I would see no issue with doing whatever with them.

Small update.
Checked their site again. And obviously - they don't have Glass Masquerade in their store anymore :/

"Note: Apparently someone got thousands of keys from HB and put them on reselling sites. The reward for collecting 5 stamps, The Tiny Bang Story, was removed."
unfortunately, all these games have been compromised (or at least the ones that I can check easily -- the ones with trading cards). it's a shame how this seems to 'always' happen with things like this. e.g. i have seen thousands of copies of 'glass masquerade' (and meadow, the ship: murder party, braveland.. i have not seen murderous pursuits and slay.one -- no cards?).... where attempted selling point is 2 ruble or so.
(ed: do the keys expire? that would be neat.)

(ed: do the keys expire? that would be neat.)
The keys themselves do not expire unless they get revoked later. It's happened before. So if you reveal the key and store it elsewhere you should be fine. What expires is the possibility to reveal the key on HB's page (revealing practically means being allocated a key).

Here's the official announcement, if credibility is needed XD I just noticed it because it popped up in my card idler haha.

The "According to" part is not about credibility but about giving credit when it's due and that's something that I like to do :)

Ah no worries I didn't take it in a bad way but I figured it'd be supporting anyhow XD

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding our free game promotion during our Summer Sale. I want to sincerely apologize for the trouble you may have experienced when trying to receive a key. Unfortunately, due to abuse and unanticipated popularity, we ran through our stock of limited keys quicker than expected. We are working hard to improve the experience for next time and hope you will join us for our next big sale!
At this time, we are not going to be receiving any more keys, and we are unable to offer you any compensation for this issue. I again apologize for the inconvenience, but hope you have a nice day.
Thanks,
-Kayla
