Board 8 > Humble Stand With Ukraine Bundle

(+) Yeah! (+)

Aside from being a good cause, it's an incredible deal. A whole pile of games I've thought about buying but never gotten around to, plus a bunch of games I already own that are excellent.

The difference between this and the other one is there aren't 990 pieces of shovelware to sift through, either.

Oh, 100% to charity. I was about to say I'm a bit loath to give money to these Humble guys at this point.

Wow, there's some good shit in there.

This, in the end, was why I didn't go with the other bundle. Obv with 1000 products you're never going to touch most of them, but I felt like I'd install Baba is You and forget that I even had the rest because I couldn't connect them to a service.

Same, honestly.

The bundle being so bloated with nonsense that I had to shuffle though turned me off to it. I think it would've been way better served with 900+ less games.

Very likely picking up this one.

itch.io does have a launcher if that's the concern.

There was a website posted specifically for filtering and sorting those bundles, getting rid of things that aren't PC games, things not published on Steam, putting the ones with the best ratings on Steam first...

Can't you also add non-Steam games to Steam anyway?

If you want to launch them, sure. Steam isn't going to download and reinstall them for you at a later date, though.

But you probably don't need to worry about Itch.io folding overnight and taking your account with it at this point either.

I'm annoyed I missed the other bundle. For Cross Code, if nothing else.

One more bump. It ends in about 13 hours.

They added two late games to this bundle, so if you got it early, go back and claim them now.

Fanatical also now has a $15 Ukraine bundle, but like most of their bundles it's mostly just shovelware.

Bought it at the 11th hour. When the steam key page says "Steam will not provide extra giftable copies of games you already own." does that mean that I can't forward any of these games to other people? There are a number of keys I'd offer out for others if I could, since I already own them.

My steam account isn't linked to Humble Bundle, and they just give me keys to redeem at my leisure. Not sure how it works if your account is linked.

it's over :(

Mine isn't, either. Does that mean I can just hand out keys?

Should be able to. I do all the time.

On the page it takes you to after buying there should be a button to reveal the key. Can just copy and paste that wherever, and then the person can use it in Steam.

No it means if you redeem a key for a game you already have, you cant put it in your Steam inventory to give away.

I didn't know that was a thing. Okay, that makes sense.
