Already bought with the help of another gaffer but thanks for the offer and the link!
More spares:
Like the idiot that I am, I bought Indie Gala's Friday bundle (the $1 tier) even though I checked my library and realised I didn't need it. I've no idea what I was thinking.
I was hoping Daedalic would eventually throw in the OST as a pre-order bonus, but alas.

You probably got it from the last Humble Bundle that had it, which only included the KickStarter bonus content DLC. This bundle has the Complete Edition, which has all of the DLC, and that's why Steam let you redeem it.
Sounds to me like the devs announced this ahead of time in an attempt to soften the blow. "As we mentioned a few weeks ago, ..."
not saying I agree with their position, but trying to see from position of devs that try to stay away from steam as long as possible, maybe being dependent on Valve and their client has something to do with it. We all love freedom, we can understand that much.
Only... when you already succumbed to temptation, it's too late to play freedom card and it's even more naive to think that people will want to pay for a game second time for no reason.

and more importantly - what the hell does "isn't 100 percent our decision and isnt free for us in the context of the games ongoing growth and development" even mean?!?
if it looks like bullshit PR damage control ... and it sounds like bullshit PR damage control .... well ....
i mean i haven't been following but i'm guessing there was a miscommunication and people ended up expecting steam keys?
like i'm guessing people asked and instead of saying "no, but maybe" they just said "maybe" and no it's just "no" and everyone's pissed
i mean iirc wasn't it said steam keys were free for devs?
can't remember the exact context or whatever but i believe that was the case?

they are ... devs can generate as many keys as they want ... completely free

yeah, I really don't get frontier. I mean I will live should I not get a steam key but even the smallest indie game devs can provide keys after a game got greenlit, but a big(ger) studio like this struggles? I don't buy it...

Mind: Path to Thalamus will get free UE4 upgrade and Oculus Rift support.
"... isnt free for us in the context of the games ongoing growth and development" = "We lose sales if we provide existing owners with Steam keys". The devs are counting on people to double-dip.

at that price - yeah, good luck with that ....
I don't know if it's Stockholm syndrome from many a holiday shacked up in a relatives cottage in the back of beyond in Gallway with nothing but board games for entertainment but I'm quite partial to them.
Oooh nice. Yeah I imagine that's a pretty long trek for you.
Oooh nice. Yeah I imagine that's a pretty long trek for you.
that's so very strange then
i wonder if they have some kind of deal with a publisher or something that maybe has some outside plans? something like that...
like, i can see it on a console/pc thing but on two different pc stores for a game that's still on early access or whatever it sounds a bit far fetched to imagine that it would actually be worth making everyone mad like this

i can't imagine double-dipping for a game like that to be a meaningful % of sales

You're probably right...
I just think it's sad, without backers, alpha and beta players/buyers this game wouldn't even exist, and now we have to beg for something almost every other game that came to steam after it first release delivers without problems...
yeah, that's how I see it too.
That could work if they weren't so adamant about a game not being on steam before, part of those sales they had, they had for this reason alone. Some people would have certainly waited for a game on steam if they knew. And they can't know how many people are like this, maybe all.
Let's say for the sake of argument that they won't give steam keys for existing owners. Part of those will buy the game again, we know some will, we don't need to look for examples far, a mirror could do (><). But! part will be so pissed that they not only won't rebuy it, they stop playing it and won't buy their games in the future. And even those who will double dip will be bitter.
So question is, is it really worth? Who knows.
edited: I'm actually glad I haven't bought it before, I was tempted on several occasions. I probably will end up buying it on steam some day tho.

This reminds me, have you played Interloper beta at least some?

No but I got an invite for the (last) beta weekend this weekend so I guess I kinda have to.
I honestly had no idea this game even existed, and I visit neogaf pretty much every day.
I got it too, that's why I am asking. The funny part, I don't even remember applying for beta (><)
Hmm, well at least Limbic is doing the main work this time, maybe it will be less buggy on release. I haven't really liked any of the HoMM games after 3, but I can't help but be cautiously optimistic when a new one rolls around.

I checked my library do I really have it and noticed that you have it too. Isn't that obvious?
I got answer from Nuuvem and R* haven't told them anything about GTA V region lock. That probably means there is no any kind of Region Lock. I am still waiting response from R* Support
And R* Twitter Support gave me this answer
Hmmm what to think after this XD
Well, it's obvious they don't wanna anybody to know it's not region locked and take advantage of it.
oh man, are you clueless or what? (><)

Makes sense, I thought the old beta got removed and since they haven't sent out new keys....

listen to the mad man
Humble Fans!
Here's how the charity works now:
"Humble Bundle will donate the amount you select less, pro rata, applicable sales taxes, VAT, and payment processor fees (which typically average 5 to 6% across all transactions) to the PayPal Giving Fund, with the direction that PayPal Giving Fund pay the funds to the charitable organizations as indicated by you."
So Humble will claw back costs, then they give the charity money to a middleman, then the middleman donates to charity, possibly clawing back more? How efficient!
Hope you bought the $32 swag box and gave to charity, because:
"To cover costs for physical merchandise a deduction of $23 plus taxes will be made for qualifying bundles. "
Your charity just got $9/$32 = 28% of your original donation, oh yeah and then there's the sales taxes and payment processor fees and Paypal's cut to deduct as well
It's like the corporate embodiment of the turd emoji.

It seems that I haven't been to my Steam inventory for a while.
Was there an "Item Rewards" category there forever and I forgot about it or is that slightly new?
It is obvious that you were thinking about gifting Sentinel to me and the rest to others.

remember when 'Humble' bundle was actually Humble?
It's for Summer/Winter Sale items pertaining to games that don't have their own section and was created circa the 2013 Winter Sale. Previously the items resided under the Community section.

My thoughts exactly, though not really Will Ferrel.
Maybe Willem Dafoe or Bruce Willis, or Doc Brown.
..but I did get CoD AW just for Digital Spacy.
Capital investment at work, people.
Anyone really expected anything else ever since they got $4.7M in 'free' money?
Out my way i want it first!!!!
I don't really see the complaints? The best way to support a charity is... to donate to that charity. Directly. Humble Bundle lets me buy cheap games while ALSO supporting a charity. As long as they still do that they can claw whatever they need to keep running as far as I'm concerned. Any money for charity > no money for charity.
I don't shop on smile.amazon because I think I'm doing some great service to that charity, I do it because it supports the charity a little bit while doing something I already was going to do. Same with Humble Bundle.
Edit: The PayPal thing is shady I guess... is that the new part? I was assuming the whole thing was new. But everything PayPal does and every partnership involving them gets shady at some point. They basically have the monopoly on easy secure online payments right now, even with the advent of Google Wallet and Amazon payments, so they have been abusing that for years.

But you were already buying from amazon when they added smile, were you already buying bundles when humble started?
I don't really remember a bundle before it except the steam 4 packs.
