Am I the only one that feels like Humble Bundle games should not be allowed "gifting" here?

Hey guys, the site gets ruined for me and as we all know my say is the rule here. Please fix this or shut this site down, plzkktia

every now and then this stupid old discussion...

Again: Be glad that this site allows bundle keys now.

Oh and all of you are "I just want to giveaway a game cuz i am so nice and BLA BLA BLA". Why complaining about contributor value then? You get something for it,better than nothing.

some bundles games are pretty great like shank 2 out of humble bundle 7

Have you considered that there are people who might actually WANT these games and can't pay for the bundle? That's why there are 500+ entries for them. I mean, hell, you buy a bundle and just want some of the games. Why not give away the ones you don't want, hence gifts?

They're not for a start. Humble bundle say so, they can't be given separately.

The only time I give away keys from bundles are when I already own the game or if I really don't want it. Plus this comes from a person who has never really done anything for the site or really even participated in the forums much.

I kinda filter them out with my eyes, AAA titles for me only thanks!

It depends on the games and whether they are for above the average. That being said a lot of the recent indie gala's suck and their games flood the site.

They give you points and a chance at the games in case you missed a bundle.

You can ignore them if you don't want them.

Problem?

Free AWESOME games.

First world problems.

I agree!!

I wanted that contribution value would be lower than 30$... And while myself have gifted here games that I didn't liked or had already which were from bundles, that was only that I didn't want my key to be not used- someone might be happy about that. Now I came to ninja giving games in random topics :D But seriously, they could do something with the value calculation :|Though on the other hand, people buy games on steam which could be the same as in the bundle, and then what..?

Bundle games are games just like all the non-bundle games. I believe the amount of giveaways would drastically drop if the bundle games were disabled, even for a short period of time. Besides, it would be pretty unfair for the people who bought the bundled games elsewhere, not being able to gift their games just because they happened to end up in some bundle. (Though I understand you could say the same about Dota 2 and Metro 2033. But those were completely free, you have to always pay at least something for bundles.)

I think it's enough restriction that bundle games give only limited contributor value. That way we see some giveaways of the bundled games, but people don't get to exploit the bundles too much.

Thanks for the comments guys ^^
And yes I was banned for regifting and am guilty as charged. To be honest didnt read the rules, once again that is my bad.
The other two games I got from another place and not a bundle ^^
Still definitely enjoying this site ^^

Enjoy guys!

why are we complaining about free games? if people want to go out and spend money so others can find something than why punish them or the games, not only are they helping us but they are also helping good causes. I can see the point where taking the bundle apart would raise their contribute rate faster but also refills our points for more giveaways to enter.

The way to solve this is by punishing people who do giveaways of single games and not the whole bundle.

It's against Humbles ToS to give out their keys individually. On that note, however, Amazon Bundles are probably worse than any indie bundle. Pay $10, get over $100 worth of full value (not impacted by indie bundle's limited value) games.
