No. Why should you wait? You can give them straight away.

People can end up buying the bundle and having to manually leave some giveaways, because SG have some issues about appids, like Sonic Generations Collection =/= Sonic Generations + Nights DLC.
If there's less chance to win a giveaway, maybe they feel the need of buying the bundle. And if they buy the bundle, they can giveaway the keys they don't want too...

You can absolutely do them now while the Bundle is still running but there's usually a flood with GAs from current Bundles so what I like to do is hold on to my keys for a while and then create GAs for them when they have become rare.
New Humble Telltale Bundle but without Back to the Future (although it was in T1 last time) ? Time to warm up the Flux capacitor :D

The only thing I want from telltale now is TALES FROM BORDERLANDS!!! That's the last one to complete my collection!!!

Once I have bought the games, I should be able to do what I like with them when I want. I am getting to the stage where I have a fair amount of dupes which are doing nothing. I'd much rather they be used or taken by someone that wants them.

It was a supposition or your real case scenario?

Real life. A lot of the bundles I buy now and have like 2 or 3 dupes. I'd rather give the extra games away then waste them. With regards to what you said earlier, "People can end up buying the bundle and having to manually leave some giveaways, because SG have some issues about appids, like Sonic Generations Collection =/= Sonic Generations + Nights DLC.", this is relatively, a smaller number of games in the grand number of games being given. Also, if you have already synced your account after activating games bought from bundles, it will remove you from most of the games you have won/activated from your entries automatically.

A smaller number of games, but this bundles have a great portion of them, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series and Face Rig app...
I synced my account, but they keep apearing for me to enter... :/

with those games, just click on the eye icon with a line drawn down over it next to the name of the game and you can hide those games so you don't have to see them again.
Its what I do :)

It's up to you, if you knew which games you were going to giveaway, might as well giveaway right away in case humble links have problems later. Save it if you want to make a train with the keys I guess.

"Playing Appreciated"? I don't mind leechers taking some of the games I bought, but there are some games that I REALLY want people to play them... I'm starting to use more invite only and groups giveaways.

whenever I buy a bundle I just give the game away right away or else I tend to forget either about the keys or from what site I got them XD

I don't think it really matters if you wait or don't wait to give them away. If you wait you might not get as many entries because people might not be on the lookout for that specific game later on.

Or, maybe, because they can't buy it in a cheap-as-hell bundle, they can be more susceptible to enter the giveaway.

I tend to wait. My reasons aren't especially compelling, just that the game seems to have more value when it's not available through a bundle, as the winner no longer has the option to spend, say, a buck to get it and a couple of other games (which they may in turn turn into giveaways, if they do but a bundle). That doesn't make making a giveaway during the bundle wrong, and I've had games I've gotten cheap through a sale or bundle turn into zero CV freebies while I waited, so there's that risk, as well.

There's no need to wait. Activate what you want then get rid of what you don't want as soon as possible

I'd say ship the games out whenever.
My dilemma is more when I'm on the fence regarding buying a bundle, to join giveaways or not from that bundle.
Usually, I just skip joining the giveaways and buy the bundle instead.

Yeah, I was like "Damn, too much Sonic Generations giveaways, but with SO MUCH ENTRIES!!! I should definitely buy this Bundle! But that's the only game I want from it... (some days later) Ok, let's buy it and giveaway the others!"

---Yes. when the bundle comes up the page is flooded with the one specific bundle. And its good to see the games from past bundles after some time.

So, I've ended up leaving various bundled games giveaways because I just bought the same bundle. So, what you guys think...
