Are these (adopted) Children of Square Enix worth your bucks?
Only have 3 games. 4 of those are in my wihslist. Another 3 have cards. And at least it's 9 EUR/10 USD, and not double that. It's "cheap". Still, not sure if I want it.

For a moment when I saw Square Enix I had hope that maybe they finally, finally put the Final Fantasy games in a bundle. Nope. Still nice looking games, though I'm only interested in Tokyo Dark.

Yeah, everything is region locked for RU/CIS, "Key-Only" included.

I saw that option at settings menu.
I can't because it's locked.
Maybe vpn could help, but I afraid of get banned

You can change this setting only when they cannot precisely trace your location, for me they gave the options to switch between two small cities in Poland (which is pointless unless they gonna implement voivodeship/region/province/state size region locks), but when I'm using VPN (Czech server) they allow me to pick between whole Poland and whole Czech. When I turn it off I'm back to original state (two cities)

Looks like last year's Forgotten Anne Collector's Edition got downgraded to base game.

BTA started at AU$9.99 and hasn't gone down at all since the bundle started.
Seems to be a common theme of the recent HB bundles.

I only want Boundless so I don't know if I can justify buying the whole bundle for that.

Isn't putting Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania in RU/CIS region by publishers some kind of stealing?
Judging by this and this:
https://steamdb.info/sub/205054/
https://steamdb.info/app/687260/
In those countries I mentioned above you need to pay 17,99€ for Tokyo Dark, but will receive package that is worth 4,62€ (converted Russian price).
I'm not blaming Humble Bundle here, I blame publishers and I'm pretty sure if this is brought to attention of some more famous streamers - they would change it.
EDIT: I didn't mention most important thing - those countries (also India, Turkey, Brazil) don't have ANY connection with RU/CIS region so I'm quite positive publishers are grabbing more money this way, probably not so legal.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can't activate the Russian Tokyo Dark Steam package in former Yugoslavia, just the key, so the price it is on Steam does not matter. I don't see this game on Russian key resale markets, so perhaps there is no big retail distribution at all (or it was long ago, and keys are gone).
Nobody stops you from VPN-buying somewhere else (USA, Canada).
Furthermore, I don't see how publishers get more of your money when you pay the same price.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure how you didn't understand me. I buy game on Humble Bundle, I receive key that activates RU/CIS package. I don't live in RU/CIS. Furthermore, if I buy this game on Steam directly, it will give me RU/CIS package, too. Why? Can you explain that to me?
Let's say you buy something from USA and you want to gift it to your Canadian buddy, only to find out you can only gift it to India, because you received Indian package for price that is waaaay above those in India. Get it?
EDIT: Oh, I see what are you saying. This is only restriction for keys, but it's not always a case (some other Square Enix games, Team 17 games... also consider Ex-Yu as RU/CIS), so let's ignore it's just Tokyo Dark only we'are talking about.

Furthermore, if I buy this game on Steam directly, it will give me RU/CIS package, too. Why? Can you explain that to me?
I can explain to you that this is not true. There is just one Steam Store package, global, prices for all regions: https://steamdb.info/sub/196780/ (sold in Russia itself too)
I buy game on Humble Bundle, I receive key that activates RU/CIS package. I don't live in RU/CIS.
You can buy the bundle from an American IP, you get keys that work anywhere. Or for T3, buy in a Euro country and you save some cents.
Comment has been collapsed.
As I sad in my edit - let's forget Tokyo Dark for a moment I didn't see that it is key-only restriction, but I'm not sure why that is a thing, too, if they're giving me a key for wrong region. What about this (https://steamdb.info/sub/293967/) and this (https://steamdb.info/sub/389097/)? These are not key locks. Those are PACKAGES I get if I buy those bundles or if I buy directly on Steam.
It doesn't matter if I use VPN, of course I know I can use it, point is - publishers are intentionally selling me cheaper thing for higher price.

That's again not true.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has had
You as a Serbian get the first.
Blashphemous also only has one store package for all countries, https://steamdb.info/sub/232160/
The only difference is that you can also activate these Russia packages.

ROW https://steamdb.info/sub/268072/
Japan https://steamdb.info/sub/268073/
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE https://steamdb.info/sub/268074/
One can identify these based on the valid prices listed?
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure, if it has "Prices" on SteamDB it's sold in some place, and the places you see currencies for are where it's sold. If you want to check for a specific country, go to the app ID in incognito with ?cc=<countrycode> and hover over the purchase button of the desired sub to see what sub ID it is. (Steam changed it a few years ago that you can't see store pages of other countries while signed in anymore, hence incognito.)
I guess Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a special case because it's all switched to "Definitive" bundles really? (I'm not sure why SteamDB still lists these as buyable for JP & Middle East when they don't have a buy button.)
https://steamdb.info/bundle/12231/ has prices for all countries and includes the ROW game
But if you go to the Qatar store page https://store.steampowered.com/app/750920/Shadow_of_the_Tomb_Raider_Definitive_Edition/?cc=qa it still shows "Game will only support Arabic and English (text and VO) language." because when the store page was set up the sold version was https://steamdb.info/sub/268074/depots/
Perhaps a very good example is https://store.steampowered.com/app/359550/Tom_Clancys_Rainbow_Six_Siege/?cc=ru
Notice: Purchases made in this region will only receive the Russian language.
https://steamdb.info/app/359550/subs/ shows you that all the "globe icon" (store) packages each have a ROW-ish and a RU/CIS version, due to this language lock.
You see this not only when comparing the depots, https://steamdb.info/sub/88521/depots/ 14 languages vs https://steamdb.info/sub/88522/depots/ RU only, but also in the Apps section you can see that one activates on UPlay as a worldwide copy and the other as a RU one, through the "Uplay Activation" DLC entry.

I love octahedron (Tier 1), for me its a very good platformer
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd recommend T2 to most people as I have Black the Fall, The Turing Test, and Octahedron: Transfixed Edition.
I'm only getting Tier 1 for Deadbeat Heroes and giveaways. Quite the smorgasboard here, but the only T3 game I'm interested in is Boundless. So T3 was an easy pass for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Only got tier 1 and some of the t2 games from previous bundles so for £8, it is a pretty good bundle for me and the ones I own are perfect for giveaways so its a win win.
Comment has been collapsed.
I purchase the Tier 1, all of these keys in this tier is redeemable on Brazil.
Good indies games to play in the quarantine.

The only exception is Boundless, which has slightly different region locks and no run lock.
