[Suggestion] Block Humble Bundle permently

wait what? humble for 1 cent? where?

I do not want to point the finger at RazhGon47, but I will because rawr.
Site sometimes almost flooded with Bundles and promotional junk like "Hail to the icons".

Maybe block next Humble Bundle permanently? But people have already done the damage and bought the previous ones,why not let them gift them to people who want them for various reasons(don't have a credit card,didn't know about the bundle at the time etc)? It's better than them selling them.

We haven't had much of a problem with the Frozen Synapse Bundle with the new rules, especially after waiting until they were no longer on sale. These giveaways are moderated pretty well for the most part. I contact just about every member that submits a Humble Bundle to make sure they are submitting unused gift URLs. Giveaways that are keys will always be removed.

Most of the people on the top contributors page have been submitting Humble Bundles as private giveaways, which are treated differently than public giveaways. Private giveaways also do not generate points.

I'm sure a lot of people won't agree with me when I say this, but I think that buying the bundles for 1 cent CAN be beneficial to the developers. Think about it, it's kind of like free advertisement for the developers. They didn't necessarily make a profit, but now someone who may not have played their game for whatever reasons is, and if they like it, they'll tell their friends about it, who'll probably pay full price for the game. At the very least, when someone pays 1 cent for a bundle, it's practically free advertising for the developer, who most likely can't afford to put up commercials or ads about their game.

Hey, what if people could still give them away but they also wouldn't show up in the person's profile? Like you make a giveaway for it, but it won't add to the value of giveaways nor would it add to "marked as received", and it also wouldn't show up as a giveaway in their list? It removes any self-benefit that someone might glean, but still allows them to gift it out of pure generosity and selflessness.

u mad bro ?

Okay. I'm going to let you understand something.

Humble Bundle is 'Pay what you want.'. Not 'Pay what you want, but pay enough to make others nod in approval.'.

This has been suggested before. Guess what. It hasn't happened. Know why? Because it's silly idea. My giveaway is just as valid as anyone else's. As long as what I'm giving is a Gift URL, it shouldn't matter how much I conceivably paid for it or not. Maybe I paid .01 for it. Maybe I paid 10.00 for it.

If you don't want it, don't enter it.

You can also download the Steamgifts Enhancement Suite and ignore all the Humble Bundles. You'll never see em again.

Why do the humblebundle 'charity' guys need millions for?

But what if I paid 3-5 dollars for every purchase, then 2 purchases at 7-10 dollars each?
Which I did. I know a lot of people abuse the system, but there's not much you can do about it. The reason why I bought so many bundles, instead of dropping around 40-50 dollars on one bundle, is because I like having extra keys around to give to my friends (still have some spare keys I plan to give away).

The HumbleBundle-Team decied to give the Bundles away fo only one Penny, so we can buy the Bundle for only one Penny. Their decision. If they want to get enough Money for charity, they should activate a pay-minimum, but they don't. So it's no abuse, it's absolute legit.

I also think SG should ban the HB. Whoever can't afford to pay, say US$5, to buy it, can pay a cent himself. Thus, I don't see a reason for it to be gifted to anyone (who owns a Steam account, like everyone in SG). Leaving it as it is now, it just gives a reason for hundreds to exploit the bundle.

I even think SG could put a banner for advertising HB. It would restore the visibility lost with the banning of the gifts, and it's for charity, anyway.

+1. Ban the HiB's.

This isn't the only venue where people can get ahold of a copy of older bundles.

Signed, +1, whatever.

Either do that, or make them worth 0p.

ban all of them

Let's say 300 $0.01 Humble Frozen Synapse bundles are given away on this site. That would mean that this site would cause the Humble team to pay an extra $90 for transaction fees. Considering that they have to pay $70,000 overall I don't think this site is hurting them so badly that we have to ban the bundles here.
