Can't create Humble Indie Bundle 7 giveaway

Closed

Does anyone know why there is no Humble Indie Bundle 7 in the drop-down menu when I try to create a giveaway? Is it just because of the holidays? Usually the bundles were added faster in the past.

HiB #7 doesn't come in one key. Each game has its own key individually.

You can buy gift copies for the entire bundle. Which is actually the only way to give out anything from Humble Bundle and abide by their TOS. But I digress... to answer the OP: usually the HIBs are added after the current bundle has ended, and HIB7 is still going on.

I see. I didn't know that was the trend. Thanks for the info :)

The last bundle for android was added while it was still going strong. Maybe that was a fluke though :)

And yeah, I like giving away the gift URLs instead of the single keys.

Yep, as said, the entire bundle will probably be added when it has stopped selling. Either you wait, or provides individual giveaways for individual games.

Nice puzzle :)

I guess I'll have to wait then.

The problem is cg only can do it and he is very busy I guess. Actually bundles are added before the sale period has ended now (sadly), as the previous bundle rule was deleted (sadly again).

That was my first guess as well. It's the holidays after all.

Why is that sad? Is there any place I could read up on that previous bundle rule? If not, mind telling me what it was? I'm fairly new here...

Users weren't allowed to create giveaways for indie bundles while they were on sale and it was against the rules to create giveaways using individual keys from bundle. In my opinion this was much more friendly and respectful of Indie Bundle initiatives, they are there to support indie developers and charity. Now in the FAQ you can't see any instructions about what you can submit as giveaway and what you shouldn't do, I mean users have to read the Terms of Service their self and figuring out what they can do, if they care about the problem...

I think steamgifts should care about it and do something about the individual keys being gifted. There is no real proper solution though :(

Thanks for reiterating the past rules :)
