It's been a thing now. If you buy the games from Humble Bundle that are in a country that has region-lock restrictions, they only apply to the country.
Seen here (https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/QB409/are-humblebundle-keys-region-locked) and here (https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/6CxmN/now-it-is-official-humble-bundle-is-fully-region-locked).
It's kinda odd, but yeah.

Unfortunately you can't. Just write in the description of the giveaway that the code can be activated only in Europe. I've seen people doing it.
The Resident Evil games are restricted to Europe for sure, I have previously activated Resident Evil 4 DE.

They are EU region locked for all buyers located in Germany:

It was the same with the previous Capcom bundle.

Just because people have done it doesn't mean it's allowed.

Oh another idea: Find a german steam group and make a group giveaway.
This is the official German group (most of the people are from D-A-CH): http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Deutschland-Germany
I am sure you can find some other group youself

Those Keys arent locked to Germany you can activate them everywhere.
But you then get a USK Version (most of the time low violance) KEY which are distributed to German Customers regardless of Age.
Basically our law to protect the Young ones are misunderstood by the world, so even the adult ones of us have to deal with those low violance key thematic.
Off course you should warn People that they will receive a low violance Version of the game.

lies den thread den sirironmaiden gepostet hat.
humbel gibt dir USK keys weil du eine deutsche ip adresse hast.
spiele die die usk nicht zensiert sollten in ganz europa funktionieren. (bsp.revelations 2)
spiele die die usk zensiert funktionieren wahrscheinlich nur mit deutschen accounts.

the thread says they work.
but i don't think that cut usk game keys work.
you can look if there are any special packages for Germany on this site https://steamdb.info/

here for example you can find a special DE package for RE revelations
https://steamdb.info/app/222480/subs/
Comment has been collapsed.
there is no such thing for RE revelations 2
https://steamdb.info/app/287290/subs/
but there is for RE 4
https://steamdb.info/app/254700/subs/
whether those keys are redeemable in europe or not is something i don't know.
but the extra packages are a bad sign.

Ich war in Frankreich als ich das resident evil bundle gekauft habe. (Leider mit deutschem Paypal, hätte da jemanden Fragen sollen ^^).
Resident Evil 4 DE Digital Distribution
Resident Evil Revelations Retail (DE)
Konnte ich aus Frankreich nicht aktivieren. Also ja, Deutschland only.
Alles andere hat funktioniert.

Do you guys think it's okay to create it like "that": https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/p5V9S/resident-evil-revelations-biohazard-revelations ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Would be ok for me, since there are many "Not redeemable in Germany" GAs as well.
But I'm not sure, if it's officially allowed.
A higher Level or (better) a closed group would have been better, since at least 80-90% do not read the description, so you probably will have to reroll quite alot.
Comment has been collapsed.
no.
ask in this thread for a invite into the group https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/VyRfU/german-steamgifts-group-deutschsprachige-steamgifts-gruppe
and create a groupe GA for it.
but keep the warning because i don't know if the keys work in AT-CH

germany should get rid of USK there is no logical reason for it to exist.
austria has the protection of children and youth also written in its constitution an PEGI works for us just fine.
basically because it does the same thing without censoring games that are already 18+

Hey guys, I bought the Humblebundle Capcom Super Turbo HD Remix. Those Resident Evil keys are locked to either Germany or Europe.
Firstly, does anyone know if these are German only or Europe(I know that they can't be activated in 'Murica) keys?
Secondly, can I create a giveaway that is locked to a region which is not listed in the restriction part but I will provide the information in the giveaway description?
