Humble Bundle Considers SG A Trading/Grey Site

Why are you using gift links anyway? Unlink your Steam account. Humble piss me off. Humble my ass.

First Steam,now HB boycotting SG too u.u

I asked them about something the other day and was told they also don't support giveaways and that keys are only for personal use or to gift to a friend. Not like how this site works.

Don't use links, get the keys, put them in drawings. I always find it a hassle when people get gift links.

Ah fuck them, you buy something and it's yours to do as you please.
Use a credit card and charge back if they try to mess with you.

now i'm worried my humble links wont work and they wont reset for me.

You know, SG does have that 'Trades' button at the top. That would indicate to anyone looking at the site that SG is a trade site.

Not that it's not a trading site even without this. Sure, it's a random trading site, but that's still basically a trading site.

Still, I think that bundles hurt the games market more than the grey market does (though Humble is the best bundle site in this respect).

Honestly don't think it has anything to do with SG. I recently had issues for my last 2 giveaways, but... Humble reset the links for me and all was good.

"WE DO NOT SUPPORT THE TRADING OF GAME KEYS THEY ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY"

Then wtf are the gift links for?

Is it better to use the gift links? or just send the keys. They can't track the keys can they? but with the links they can see you are giving them away...

Also just curious @ Ryahn, We have about the same ratio of games sent and received. Have you given away humble gift links outside of this site? All my giving has been on this site so I am wondering if this will become more of problem for people on here. Alot of my gifts come from humble as well.

A family member of mine had a remarkably negative experience with Humble Bundle's support. She bought a Humble Monthly Bundle. She purchased a $1 bundle first for the 10% off discount on first time Humble Monthly Bundle and then the Humble Monthly immediately after. She received a confirmation email from Humble Bundle and PayPal that the standard bundle order completed. She then purchased the Humble Monthly Bundle, receiving confirmation emails from both Humble Bundle and PayPal. But the 10% discount was not properly applied to the Monthly. She contacted Humble Bundle after to request a partial refund on the discount amount that wasn't present.

Their response was that the Humble Monthly Bundle showed up in their system as being purchased first. This despite the fact that the emails from Humble Bundle are clearly in the correct order, the PayPal transactions and emails were in the correct order, and the purchase history page on the Humble Bundle site were in the correct order. I understand them potentially having bad information initially, but when the evidence was provided they insisted she was "confused" about when the orders "completed". It was an absurdly condescending and insulting response when there was more than adequate evidence that the purchases were completed in the proper order to have received the discount.

They offered no refund, and when she requested to speak with a supervisor after two customer service representatives provided incorrect information and no help, the representative refused. After that experience, she will no longer be a customer of Humble Bundle. I won't either.

Huh, I wonder what their cutoff limit is? I got the Humble Monthly subscription ONLY because of steamgifts - I wouldn't get humble bundles period if I didn't have a place I could give away the games I'm not interested in.
