You can’t gift individual steam codes anymore, the new system binds all steam codes to a steam account that has to be tied to your humble bundle account.
Maybe you can and I’m just dumb but it doesn’t seem like it…
The only weird thing now is needing to link your steam account to redeem keys. If you to gift the games you have to click on the gift icon on the download screen, copy the url and send it to whomever you want to gift it to.
It’s like this now to prevent people from reselling the keys. It always been a huge problem for them as people buy the bundle multiple times for that purpose. With major devs and publishers getting on board with humble bundle they needed an effective solution. I personally have nothing against this new policy as I felt it was fucked up how people would cheat a charity.
I can log into the Steam application just fine but I can’t on the site it keeps saying my info is wrong when it’s the same info I use to log into the account. My friend tried to log onto his and it’s doing the same shit. I only spent five dollars but this is still mad irritating. ARe the accounts on the steam community site and the application site supposed to be different or something
?
Demon I’ll take the Scribblenauts code if no one else has already. FEAR 2 multiplayer was too good, btw. Oldschool, arena-style MP. I wonder if people are playing it more now on PC because of this bundle, because it died way too fast on console. :shake:
The new way of giving away codes now seems weird, though.
Told you that’d be one of the free games they’d add later on. :tup:
If anyone has a code for Gotham City Imposters/Mortal Kombat: Arcade Kollection or FEAR 1/2, let me know. FEAR 2 I’d want for the waning hope people are playing its multiplayer.
The new activation method is weird. It went something like this:
-Receive code link.
-Go to Humble Bundle.
-Give Humble Bundle E-mail info and name.
-Get an E-mail code from Humble Bundle to “redeem” your gift.
-“Redeem” code links you to the Steam website with a unique browser link.
-Have to log into Steam through your web browser.
-Steam e-mails you a code to verify it’s you trying to access your Steam account.
-Give Steam the code it asks for through your browser.
-Done.
Overall it’s tedious as shit, but it seems to be a one-time thing. After I went through this for one key from Exodus, I clicked a link Demon just gave me and it took me to the humble bundle page, asked me for my info again(name, e-mail) it sent me an e-mail, and as soon as I clicked it, it took me to a page to redeem the gift, and as soon as I clicked “redeem” it automatically redeemed it to my Steam account. Humble Bundle saves your info.
I believe they did this so people wouldn’t re-sell CD keys.
