Easy-going purchase or not your Teacup kind of games?
Humble is selling Forest Cathedral and Re:Call on Humble Store... so they lie, they have keys.....
Comment has been collapsed.
It's nothing new that store keys and bundle keys come from two different pools. So nope, they aren't lying. Their bundle pool is empty.

That argument is still a long shot. Before they sell 1000 bundles they should stock 1000 games otherwise it kind of is fraud.
Comment has been collapsed.
What argument? I only explained the actual reality of two different pools.

I know, I just meant it is exactly the official statement you get from Humble when you complain and I still think it is kind of fishy.

We should talk
The Forest Cathedral
RE:CALL
Games are still out of stock. Whimsy&Wonder got a restock today but nothing here.

The Forest Cathedral
RE:CALL
Both out of stock... which is the humble record without restocking? 20 months? hahaha ridicolous.....

∞ since there are some games that were never restocked (and they don't plan on restocking, simply removing them from the user's purchase page).

I know on twitter they confirmed that Re:Call and The Forest Cathedral will eventually be restocked for buyers that purchased the bundle before a certain point.. but it wouldn't surprise me if there was some kind of miscommunication between their social media team and internally so it's possible that it was never actually planned for them to restock. Tends to happen pretty often in situations like this.
If true, that would explain why they added more games to the bundle rather than restocking those games..

Since this was just bumped and the last related comment was 2 weeks ago...
We should talk is still out of stock.

idk if it's new, but humble has added We should talk to the purchase page/library as a DRM-free download. So if someone wants to play the game while waiting for the keys to be refilled...

Looks like they added Epic keys for The Forest Cathedral and Re:Call. Wonder if this means no Steam keys
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks!
Did you buy the bundle before they announced that they will replace these games?
In other words, did they add these Epic keys for all purchases, or just for those that purchased the bundle before 2023-05-13 and got out of stock message when trying to claim their keys?
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought the bundle day one and no Epic keys are in my Humble account. (I claimed all the keys before the out of stock message)
Comment has been collapsed.
I bought the bundle on 5/9. I still have The Forest Cathedral listed in my steam keys section (still out of stock of course). I was able to get RE:CALL before it ran out of stock. Then below all the games, I now have an extra "Epic Games Store" section that has keys for The Forest Cathedral and RE:CALL.

Sorry to barge in, I got the bundle a couple of hours after launch, missed the redeeming window and I've been waiting for them to restock. I've just checked and there are only Steam keys for these 3 titles in my bundle page, all give the same error "Keys are temporarily exhausted for this product". Not sure what's going on.

Humble are selling stuff they don't have and being obstructive about refunds.
Again.

Bought mine when they were out but before they were removed from the purchase.

Picked up the bundle on 5/11, which looks like when they were out but no replacements were announced

I hope this is just an apology for Steam keys taking so long, and they don’t actually think an epic key is an acceptable replacement for a Steam key.
Comment has been collapsed.
Got a reply from them saying that you forfeit your Steam key if you activate the DRM-free link or reveal the Epic key. So don't think it's an apology or a replacement, yet.
Since they haven't put this information anywhere I think they hope people will just reveal the new keys so they have fewer users entitled to actual Steam keys, in case they don't get enough keys again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Meanwhile they still have the games for sale in their store, I know different key pool, but still...
Comment has been collapsed.
Well that's just great. I revealed the EGS keys as soon as I saw them, thinking they might run out of those fast too.... Would rather wait for Steam keys...
Comment has been collapsed.
I would gladly wait a year rather than using worthless Epic keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
Asked them if they have actually posted that info anywhere, so buyers don't just rush in to redeem considering their reputation on "out of Stock" keys. And if they really thought that an Epic key for the game would a proper replacement for a Steam key.
Then got this, alongside a bunch of generic "we thanks you for your patience in this matter blablablabla..."
"The Epic keys for this bundle are purely a bonus that our team worked to obtain from our partners, as they understand the delay in obtaining Steam keys is frustrating, and it has been a long time. Revealing and redeeming the Epic keys will have no impact on the Steam keys, should we receive them moving forward."
So you should be in the clear, if what I got this time was true.

It seems Humble is getting more desperate on how to scam people day by day…

Man I really hoped the bump meant "we should talk" is back in stock XD
Comment has been collapsed.
I felt relatively lucky that I'm not much nterested in either it or The Forest Cathedral, until I reached the bottom of the purchase page and realized that RE:CALL too.
(Just recently I decided it's time to finally activate keys rather than hoard them as I did for too long - and shit like this is a good reason to never wait anymore)

Monthly check to see if Humble are still being thieving arseholes. Seems so.

Friends email from them regarding keys.
"At this time, we are aware of the long-standing key exhaustion for The Forest Cathedral, RE:CALL, and We Should Talk in the Easy-going Games: Whitethorn Showcase bundle. Rest assured that we are continuing to seek a solution to obtain Steam keys for these titles; however, we also recognize the possibility that we may be unable to acquire Steam keys for these titles moving forward."

Imagine the possibilities. Getting more keys from the developers!? Or they'll try to buy from grey market xD
They fucked it up big time

They could send us 100% off coupons to us to get them from the Humble Store since they still have keys there.
Comment has been collapsed.
It’s IGN! They would loose profit for this. Much easier to say sorry but fuck off to your customers.

Anyone got anything new from Humble support? I keep getting the usual apologies and meaningless text blocks.
Comment has been collapsed.
has anyone tried asking for a refund or partial refund and gotten any results? i'm owed a key for we should talk and it's kinda ridiculous that it's taking so long. it should be a very simple thing to do for a company like humble/ign.
Comment has been collapsed.
When I asked they offered to revoke all the other keys and give me a full refund. Not ideal as I'd already done giveaways.
Guess if nothing else it's a timely reminder for people planning to buy Humble Choice that Humble are the worst.

So celebrating the 1 year bundle release anniversary and still
ATTENTION: We have run out of Steam keys for The Forest Cathedral / RE:CALL. We are getting more ASAP. We will have Steam keys for you as soon as they are available again!
I'm starting to believe they aren't getting more ASAP. -_-
Also still waiting on We should talk, but at least I already owned that one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe it is time to file another ticket at HB to see, if there is any update.
(I have not revealed/used those Epic keys in case they only provide Steam keys later on to people, who had not used those Epic keys)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, ASAP has sailed a long time ago…
I guess they are going to sit this one out the Humble way.

Well it took 1.5 years, but keys for The Forest Cathedral are finally back in stock.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same for RE:Call. They indicate it's only a partial restock and to suggest redeeming immediately so there's probably not enough for everyone
Comment has been collapsed.
Effing Brilliant!! Thanks for the notice, I got my keys. (and really shameful that this took so long).
Edit: Just noticed that there is a rider underneath these keys. It says "Partial restock. Please redeem to Steam account immediately or kindly wait until next batch arrives."

And We should talk. has also been replaced, finally claimed all three games.

Thanks for the update! I finally have all the keys I was still waiting on from this bundle!

holy balls, batman. thanks for the notice. finally got to claim my copy of we should talk. i had completely given up any hope of ever seeing a key for it.

Goddamn, appreciate it. Probably not enough to get me back as a customer but weirdly excited to play a couple of these after such a ridiculous wait.

We should talk. finally back in stock. (sub/436166)
HB has provided a DRM-Free copy into my account after reaching HB Support 14 months ago. At that moment, they replied:
Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out to Humble Bundle's Customer Support team!
At this time, we are aware of the long-standing key exhaustion for The Forest Cathedral, RE:CALL, and We Should Talk in the Easy-going Games: Whitethorn Showcase bundle. Rest assured that we are continuing to seek a solution to obtain Steam keys for these titles; however, we also recognize the possibility that we may be unable to acquire Steam keys for these titles moving forward.
With that said, every purchase of this bundle now has a DRM-free download for We Should Talk available on their download page. In addition, eligible purchases will now also receive an Epic key for The Forest Cathedral and RE:CALL on their download page. Only purchases that were originally eligible to receive these titles will see the Epic keys or DRM-free options on their download page.
We hope that these options will allow you to play these games while we continue to work to obtain Steam keys. Please note that redeeming an Epic key or downloading a DRM-free copy will not disqualify you from receiving a Steam key, should they become available in the future.
Thank you so much for your unwavering patience and understanding with these key exhaustions. Please reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns, as we will be happy to investigate them for you!
