I don't know why Humble Bundle is messing everything up this time! It's making it's own region locks and this is very irritating.

Can someone tell me clearly to which Category does a a key bought in republic of Korea belong to? I can't see it in Asian category!

Skip for me. Don't like Civs so much. Hope the other unlocks won't be awesome and I find my self banging my head for not buying it!

I wouldn't believe it but Civ6 is REALLY that bad.
Can I have my 12$ back :(

I'd subscribe just because of the Australia DLC, but I'm working on paying off a new computer so that isn't the best idea right now!

Hey there!
I'm kinda new to humble, I didn't even know some of their games had region locks. Anyway, I want to subscribe to this monthly but I'll gift Civ 6 for someone who lives in USA, I'm in Brazil, if I use a VPN when I buy it, will I get the NA-locked version? Has anyone tested it it yet? Also, is there any place where I can see if the game is region locked before buying?

There's no way to know in advance what games will be region locked. You can surely look up on SteamDB what kind of locks exist for each game, but you still won't know how Humble decides to give to their customers. For a game that has the classic RU/CIS / EU / BR etc locks, they might as well decide to give out ROW keys instead. Although in practice this doesn't really happen, since giving out region-locked keys prevents people from buying these bundles in high quantity for reselling them on the grey market.
For this specific bundle, you can get a NA key only if you buy it from USA. It's up to you if you ask your friend to do do the purchase or VPN yourself to USA. Because of this mess of region locks, a lot of people choose to buy via VPN, with all the risks involved (payment data sent via VPN, consequences on your HB account). Just note that if you buy a yearly plan with VPN for example, you will get ALL the bundles from that plan with potentially USA locked games.
Some other games in this bundle (bought in the USA) could be locked to not activate in Brazil.

I only knew of EntroPay, but apparently there are a few similar services:

Keep in mind that while these virtual cards are legal, making purchases through these services carry a fee.

"Key regions are based on the region the payment comes from. You cannot mask it with a VPN, only with a virtual bank card." I didn't know this! Are you sure Talgaby?
Comment has been collapsed.
Does it depend ONLY on Ip address of Payment method or Humble also? (I mean the IP from where you bought the bundle.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh..ok. Thanks a lot for reply. As I had posted above few days back but noone replied, do you know what kind of region lock does a Korean copy of CIv VI has?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm..HB is very weird. If it was asia locked, it should have been included in that list. Anyways I'll make a ticket and ask them.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am a little bit late but I really really don't that is the case for 2 reasons:

The changed how it works I guess? (Seems weird that when would, region locking to payment address makes a lot more sense). How long ago did people confirm that? Because the Dead Rising bundle was sometime in the summer.

When was the first Codemasters bundle that had locks, a year and a half ago, maybe? Around then. Had a round before that, when the publishers supplying Nuuvem cracked down on all the international buyers and started to give as much LATAM and BR locked keys to them as possible, and Nuuvem also trying to close itself from overseas buyers.

I'm seriously considering going for Tier 3 of their National Parks Bundle. Yes, it's not video games, but it looks great!
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, Sweet! I was disappointed I missed it in its last bundle, but I'm glad I waited.

They seem desperate but Owlboy is one hell of a good game!
Comment has been collapsed.
Seeing another game was added made me excited.. Then I saw its a pixel graphic game :/ Not really a fan of these games.. Civilization VI is really desired game for me.. But Owlboy as unlock too just means less games for my style in the actual reveal.. Cant decide now..
Maybe Owlboy would be worth a try even if im not fan of pixel graphic games..
Comment has been collapsed.
Never judge whether or not you will like a game by it's graphics, judge it by its genre. If you don't like 2D platformers, then you probobly won't like Owlboy.
Comment has been collapsed.
ehh, thats the thing.. Generally I wouldnt say I like platformers. But I do find enjoyable ones now and then..
And thats where uncertainty comes to me :D anyway.. Just got to make up my mind.. Owlboy probably wont be a deal breaker nor deal maker in this case.. :D Thanks for input :)
Comment has been collapsed.
hmm, thanks for opinion :) Doesnt matter to me if a game is easy, as long as its got great story. Might be worth a try afterall.

Downloading Owlboy now, had this one in my wishlist for a while now!
Comment has been collapsed.
Owlboy is a nice game, I enjoeyed playing it except for the optional cannon part. I wonder why they unlocked it already, probably this monthly didn't do well, but I highly doubt it.

I like gay people and I'm scared of hentai. Your raw power scares me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or maybe, now that IGN is involved, they are experimenting with new approaches. It doesn't necessarily mean desperation, rather, they finally have marketing people who are willing to experiment. I know if I was running Humble, I would be switching things up exactly like this to test people's reactions and to see if a variance in how the games are revealed changes anything. This lets you know that someone is actually doing their job instead of just coasting on past success.
Comment has been collapsed.
In any event, the experimentation, whether it is internal Humble directed or IGN-influenced, is what is to be expected.
Whoever is making the decisions is doing exactly what they are supposed to do.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or they just didn't get enough sales this time? Civilization VI is more or less niche after all, plus it's a strategy and got only "Mostly Positive" on Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was thinking the same thing, but honestly I'm glad they did. I already own Civ 6, but have wanted owlboy for a while, so this just got a lot better for me.

I don't know if it's the same in Poland but in Austria you can avoid having to link your credit card by linking your bank account.
Comment has been collapsed.
My bank account has been linked for ages. I contacted HB and they said the issue is on paypal side and they can't do anything about it.
It's weird for me because I was able to sub to HB using my paypal before. (to get Total War: Warhammer and Stellaris)
Comment has been collapsed.
Is your paypal balance high enough, you might have to transfer some into it first.
Comment has been collapsed.
I remember when they said that monthly will be a collection of nonbundled games, at least not bundled by HB. Well, civ6 was nice, worth alone the 11usd and i expecting rest of the games will be crap, but at least unbundled crap! Well, i hope there will be at least 1 more cool game in it.
