WARNING Some Humble Bundle Keys Now Unrevealable After Three Years

It's really sad to see Humble slowly decaying into what's obviously going to be its inevitable end, they were the reason why I originally stopped pirating games and started using Steam instead.
That said I did go through my unredeemed keys a couple of days ago and backed them up just in case, there were only a handful tho cos I haven't bought any of their bundles in a long time.

Is there an easy way to extract all humble bundle unrevealed keys to a text or spreadsheet or something?

In cases where Alternate Keys are not available to replenish, Humble Bundle is not obligated to provide them.

thanks for the warning. i have some that i've been sitting on more than 10 years that i guess i should get keys out from while i still can...

Good, good.

So now they can ROB us of our purchased keys because they said so in their recently updated terms of service, and somehow those terms are applied to the bundles which were purchased months or years ago under a different agreement between the customer and HB.

I don't think Humble Bundle considered laws properly...

In Europe you either give the customer the things he paid for or you have to give the customer the money back, nothing like "Woops! It took us too long on our side, you lose."

Oh shit, it's happening... Most games still give keys, but for some it's either this dire message or "temporary out of stock".

Well, I USED to have hundreds of keys on Humble. I'll have to be faster on giving away keys that I still have. Not that keys less than three years have any guarantee of being honored anyway.

I get they can change the rules whenever, but my older keys should be grandfathered in. Changing the rules for keys after buying the them is theft in my opinion. As I would have used those keys if I had been warned about this.

I believe Domina was de-activated from Steam store and cant get new keys

Nothing new for me.

They're usually good with noting expirationd dates, but I don't expect things to last based on my past experience. They gave me an invalid key once, and when I asked for the replacement, they gave me something else. Through that whole process I just wasn't up for fighting it. It used to also have a bunch of giveaways back then, and I remember one in particular that you couldn't just merely claim. You had to download it from them, in a limited time. I was on vacation then, and had a jmuch difficult time with merely downloading it on my phone. Times have changed and...yet it's a missed opportunity.

I didn't really care when Steam's terms of service changed from owning the game to subscribing to a license to use the game. However, if it's a problem that deceives buyers, like Ubisoft's The Crew service shutdown, there has to be some kind of solution.

It's true that many people flocked to the bundle site after its launch, and as a result, many digital hoarders were created. Among those many users, there must be various reasons for saving keys, except for those who use the keys immediately after purchase, and I think their rights should be protected.

Rather than simply revising the terms, there would be a way to directly and clearly state the expiration date of the key, or to provide a detailed explanation in the service notice. It doesn't seem like there has been a large-scale key cancellation yet, but I hope Humble takes definite action.

However, I think it's going to be passed over. In the future, I hope that buyers will find a personal solution by opening and using the key immediately or saving it in a spreadsheet.

Finaly something good.

I think Humble purposely created confusion here by using the word "reveal". They are expecting some people to not "reveal" their keys (after all... the key is there just waiting for you... right???) and thus they wind up having to give out less keys.

Of course, the correct word is "request key from pool". But if they used those words people would realize that there is a limited supply of keys and many more people would be requesting keys before they run out.

All and all kind of sleazy tactics.

I lost 3 games & 2 games didn't have any key available.

Damn. It.

I acivated most keys but I still had a lot of unused ones. Had I known, I'd have at least made giveaways for them.

Time to check all my Humble buys bunbles bought before 2022, I guess...

EDIT: so far where I checked, confirming most reports. Currently chekcing before February 2022 but soon to look forward too. Lesson learned, just reveal any key and write it down (and pray they won't dwactivate it anyway at some point without notice).

58 pages here to redeem!

After dealing with many pages of redeeming, while double checking things. I found out that there was something else, not only that this game was unredeemable. This game was completely gone, gone from searching it via classic Keys & Entitlements or checking bundles themselves.
It is Pixel Piracy from Humble Indie Bundle 14. So there might be more games removed like these.

I should probably mention that Domina was pulled from Steam..

I just checked my hib account and wrote down the unused keys, it happens that one of them was expired or not available any more: "Grid 2 Spa- Francorchamps Track Pack". It was from a long time ago.

Well shit. I've got probably dozens of unrevealed keys. Some warning would have been nice.

Update: My oldest unredeemed keys were over 12 years old and still worked fine. I'm going to assume it's only extreme circumstances where the keys won't work, or for games going forward.

This is why I only buy bundles I am interest in and go for a split if I am not interested in all the games. This way you are less likely to leave unrevealed keys on the table.

Isn't this an anti-consumer practice and we can't sue them for it? Like, we bought these keys, we should have the rights to reveal and get them whenever we want. If they changed their TOS, it should has effect in keys and bundles sold after the TOS change, not before.
