Recently this is the third time that humble mistake so soon announced a discount game to be distributed and within like 60 minutes, they said that the week long sale is over.

And like 40 minutes ago, i received an email saying that the keys WILL BE TAKEN BACK and instead they are giving $5 coupon for games.

Isn't it a bit too much? Never seen before that the deal ends before time and keys are taken back.

What do you think about this behavior?

Are you angry on humble bundle?

Yes
Very
Absolutely

I'm pretty sure that this is not the first time I see this happening. When a game mistakingly gets a big discount, big sites usually revoke the keys right afterwards. Like, what did you expect? :/ I was expecting this to happen since I first saw that discount.

Most of your rant being inapplicable or baseless, but as far as opinions go, sure thing, trolling. Cheers mate.

slimey scamming hypocritical fraudulant grey site

As far as you concerned maybe, but it is literally baseless. Also gray market. And they are nothing like HB.
Region locks do have a warning.

I just got support banned for too many giftlinks. I never gibbed an HB key, only giftlinks btw.

The btw has nothing to do with the sentence. They blocked you for the stuff you did, not for the stuff you didn't. Much surprise.
And here are you, ranting all of this on a troll topic, and getting hurt that your weird reality is not accepted by others. By all means, be my guest with all the blocking and blacklisting you want, but maybe you should relax a bit. Too much uncalled hate is bad for you.

Speak for yourself, someone already went into a blind-rage type of ranting, and blacklisted, threatened, and blocked me for saying that not even half of his stuff is correct :D

Sounds like a great idea for a group/curator, instead of telling what is good people can easier find what to get angry on. Time to start promoting it.

You're right, I forget we're not angry on anything here >////<

I am of course referring to the lurkers in the shadows. If you're quiet, you might even hear them muttering under their breath, cursing all animals, furries and humans alike that refuse to come home to Papa Gaben.

I live in Sweden, we have really strong consumer rights protecting us against companies trying to do evil shit.

Even here Humble Bundle is totally within their rights to revoke sold keys of a game that suffered a price glitch and was sold way under the expected value. Pretty much all over the world there's a strong "if it's too good to be true you should have known it wasn't" protection for these kinds of things. The fact that this was posted specifically with titles like "price glitch" and so on in a variety of forums makes it very obvious that any reasonable consumer knew it wasn't a legitimate deal.

So no, I'm not angry, and it would be pretty silly to be. It sucks if someone was planning to re-sell it for a profit and it didn't work out, but then that just makes them a re-seller and not a customer - meaning they don't have consumer rights in most places. If you feel that Humble Bundle has started cracking down on these kinds of glitches and revoking keys instead of just letting people have their "glitch buys" in peace, that just means they have changed the way they do business to protect themselves further against re-sellers and that people who want to take advantage of "glitched prices" should stop trying to do so at Humble. It will no longer work. Any glitched price you find there, now and forever, will be cancelled and revoked before you have time to re-sell it.

Any kind of business and person has to know when circumstances has changed and they need to move on to keep their business or life afloat. This is one of those times. Not a time to be angry, a time to figure out new things to do for that easy profit - or cheap game.

I think 75% off falls under reasonable expectation. At least it does for me... There have been games being sold at high discount soon after launch.

Depends completely on how well the game has sold. If nobody has bought it at full price, it would be surprising for them not to try to get hype for it with a big discount.

Yeah, I agree they overdid it. Simple revoke would be enough.

People...these things happen. Steam, Origin even GOG has had this kind of derps. It DOES suck when this happens but that's nothing to rage over. At least they correct the error and made up for it.

People need to just CHILL.

5$ coupon is a great deal instead of being banned for reselling and breaking hb rules.

Am I ANGRY? Obviously! They shouldn't give away 5$ coupons for free if I didn't know about that! 😒

Only way they can fix this is to make $5 coupons free for a day so everyone who got their coupon stolen from them because they weren't online at the time will get one too.

But then people who got their coupon previously will now get another one, so I'll still stay behind :O

Damn, so they'll have to make them free forever so everyone can get as many as they deserve. Any other solution will completely ruin their reputation.

does it make a difference wether they fire him or not not if they never paid him in the first place?

cause I fail to see the point of having an intern if you are actually going to be paying them.
