HumbleBundle.com $1 Min. Price For Getting Steam Keys

Listen up people I work two jobs with shitty pay yet I still manage to meet my expenses and save up enough to buy one of those visa gift cards and pay a respectable amount for the bundle. I cant stand it when a bunch of jackasses steam from the humble bundle.

abusing of stuff like humblue bundle is so pathetic

So I have a few gift codes that I paid under a dollar for, I usually buy a few to give out to friends who don't have paypal accounts or any way of buying online. Does this mean that when these get activated they won't get the steam keys? That seems pretty low to me.

Good.

I used to pay above average for my main account, and extras for my friends with a coin (they are grateful for the games, no matter which)

If they keep this up for future bundles, I guess I won't give my friends any more gifts.

Hm, bad.
I always give my friend for 1 cent a Bundle...
So now not more! :/
...But for me doesn't matter, i always buy 1€ for my Account

I'm just surprised it took them this long to do it. I guess the XMAS steam gift pile promo put it into overdrive.

I fully support this decision.

Felt bad when some guys buy the bundles for 1 cent.

good coz i've never paid less than 5$ and the mentality is if i can get it for cheap why pay more coz i've seeen ppl pay less coz the ppl they know have paid equally less

there are still alot other ways to get FREE steam games. ´
but yeah most people probably abused the bundles for that.

I think they're evolving their model which is a good thing. I thought it was a good logical move to ensure extras became 'beat the average' model, which rewarded people who paid actual money, rather than rewarding early adopters who paid 1 cent. I see how people now will pay 1 cent and start churning out coal by the truck loads to win prizes. Think this isn't possible? Note that in China a prison warden had prisoners work 20 hour days FARMING GOLD in WoW. Do not underestimate the power of ultra cheap labor and cunning people who wan to cheat the system.

Its a good move imo

top move! even better would be, pay above the average to get them. (imo everyone should be doing this anyway)
why abuse something for a good cause...tsk tsk

This seems like a good idea to me, though it will make aquiring the keys from bundles after they finish much harder

I think they're starting to forget the definition of humble.

Not so much because of this ($1 really is pretty damn reasonable) but because I highly doubt they'll end the policy when the Steam event ends.

And all you people saying you should pay above the average to get the Steam keys (TO THE GAMES YOU ALREADY OWN), you should reconsider what "Pay what you want" means.

It does not mean "Pay what you want, but you have to pay our price to -really- get all the features."

Just, the whole reason I liked Humble to begin with is that they didn't do petty shit to get you to pay more, by withholding part of the deal and other stuff.

aw i enjoyed my 1 penny games ):

I think what they did is justified. It's to stop the abuse - but you can still get the games, just not claim it on Steam.
