Yeah this is weird not having direct access to the steam codes, guess I can't give my spares away any more.
It doesn't give you steam keys though it makes you log in to your steam account to redeem the games.

Looks like it, and I'm not sure it works on Chrome, it just closes the tab. Maybe restarting Steam does the trick...

I am actually pretty mad about this. I bought this, owning most of the games, with the intention of giving the keys away to people. But nope. Can't do it anymore. Have to specifically redeem the keys with my account. Bullshit. I wouldn't have purchased it if I'd have known.

Whatever their reasoning is for this it's going to dramatically decrease sales of bundles, actually you can always just buy extra bundles as gifts but still it's pretty shitty.
I have Worms Reloaded.
Is there any possible reason to get more than one Worms game?

I imagine their thinking is that it will give them more sales as people cant just rely on giveaways and will have to purchase themselves. Which is fair, I think. It only costs a small amount and goes to charity.

Do you like 2D golf?
I don't even know what that means.
Worms Armageddon is by far the best Worms game ever made, much better than Reloaded or Revolution. Don't BTA, just get Worms Armageddon. Also, Mayhem is the 3d one, some people like the 3d games, some don't, I haven't played much of them. Also, Worms Blast is a pretty fun game, Worms Golf is alright as well. Not sure if Superfrog is good or not.

This new Steam-redeem system is awesome. So much faster.
I just payed with Google Wallet.

I've emailed support to complain about the lack of the promised Steam keys, hopefully they can sort it out.
You can still do that. Each game has a unique redeem link.
That's the weird thing, you still redeem the games individually, so you don't have to have the other stuff in your account, you just can't give them to other people either.
Armageddon works fine for me on Windows 8 and worked on my Windows 7 desktop as well.

Also, nobody talks about it, but Superfrog HD is a really, really, enjoyable old-school platformer. Tons of content and secrets.
Edit: The Steam version of Armageddon works fine on my 64-bit Win7.

Strange. I don't have that option. I have a pay with credit card, paypal, amazon, direct from a bank account through dwolla, and even a bitcoin payment option. No google wallet option though.
I'm excited to try it, bought the bundle for that and Worms Ultimate Mayhem because I'm curious about the 3d Worms, already have all the other games in the pack.
Which one is that?

Maybe don't get Worms Golf then.
Armageddon.
Can't you just share the link then? Haven't bought it myself so I don't know how it works exactly.

This is what happens if you try to redeem a game you already have...

listen to the mad man
Ask for a refund, as there's no terms of service on the store page making it clear that you can't share.
No, because once you've logged in once the redemption links will redeem all future codes to that account.
I see, looks like they're serious about the no sharing thing then.

This will only hurt Humble because people that own tons of games won't buy a bundle just to get one game.

Not sure how I feel about the new Humble system...
Also is Team17 hurting for cash? They were in the last Android bundle as well and the Breed Trilogy is a Halloween sale on Steam.

Nah, because I did want the BTA games for myself, and registered them. I'd feel shitty asking for one right now. I just want the keys to share like normal. I've emailed support.
This sucks.This is what happens if you try to redeem a game you already have...
Less HB's for me.
That's what I'm thinking as well. I know I personally won't buy them nearly as often now that I can't give the extra keys away to friends.
Sorry, HIB, you can fuck yourself out.

I will likely be buying less Humble Bundles because I would not be able to share extra Steam keys.
This is coming from someone who has bought almost every Bundle.
