Argh... I bought a game on Humble just now and wanted the key to gift with modbot. However, my steam account appeared to be linked and the game was automatically added to it. If I unlink my account, will I be getting keys again like I want to?

Duderino, keys don't exist anymore. You have to click the little present icon.

Hahaha did you buy it on the store? If so you have to select it as a gift at checkout or the only option is to redeem it to your linked account. Really weird that it's different to how they do bundles. If so shoot their support a message I did the same and they credited me back shortly after. Well unless you've redeemed it already.

I think groupees did a lot of business with games trying to get on steam. Now that pretty much anything can get in, they're really dredging the bottom of the barrel.

But can I use that link for modbot? I don't think they'll give me a key, just a link for someone else to follow.

I didn't select gift because I used the store before and they just gave me a code. I tried it again just now with my steam unlinked and they charged me again xd It's only 1,7 €, won't bother with support.

now that I'm on the last third of dead space 2 I think it's time for.....

controversial opinion time with realityexists!

Dead Space 1 + 2 are leagues better than what Resident Evil ever thought about being. Even the almighty 4.

From the inventive weapons to the awesome zero g sequences it just makes resident evil completely stale by comparison.

chew on that.

It's all the "free games" that Sony so generously gives them. I swear PS+ the biggest marketing coup in gaming in years. Convincing subscribers to think that they're getting free games and making them forget the small detail that they actually pay for that subscription.

If you select gift it essential gives you the same kind of link that you would get from a bundle where you click on the square icon to create a gift link. So you can put the url into ModBot like any other. Humble have stopped giving keys for pretty much all Steam stuff since they use the Steam API to redeem it directly to your account you have linked with them. After some complaints after the first bundle that implemented this they offered the ability to create a gift link instead of offer up direct keys. Saly there store doesn't give you both options and that applies for your whole cart as well. So if you are buying from the Humble Store and want a combination of games for yourself and gifts for others you have to check out twice. It's a pain in the arse considering they do it fine with bundles. I can't remember when they changed it for the store but it was right around the time they switch their whole redeeming system over.

Edit: For clarity, if you buy something that comes in a bundle you get a item like this in your library now
GYKjD0v.png

The button to the left that has Steam as the lable will redeem that game on Steam, or throw up and error if you have it on your account (it won't use up the key). Where the little box to the right will genertate a link that will point to a page where someone can claim that page as their own and add to Steam themselves.

Now this is what you get if you buy anything from the store but don't select it as gift at checkout
lRjCGJt.png

Essentially the same but you can not gift that to anyone and you can only redeem that key on the account link with your Humble account. If you select gift then it never gets added to your account but gives you the option of emailing the person directly or giving you a url to give to them to claim thier gift.

Phew I think I've confused myself with that!

Question about the Humble Squenix Bundle:

Which of the Hitman games have controller support?

Better yet, which games in the bundle, period, have controller support?

I think GAF already confirmed Mini Ninjas as having it, but doesn't hurt to double-check.

I know I can go on the Steam pages for each game, but those aren't always accurate.

I'm a subscriber, but I'm fully aware of the limitations of the offer. I still feel it has been a good deal for me, as I've played lots of good games on my vita for the amount of money a one year subscription cost me

So I don't think it's all black/white

It's okay to think that it's good value for money. It's delusional to think that they are free games.

Super early impressions on Divinity. I enjoy the humor, if it is a bit dry. Most of the gameplay is fun. I wish the items that enemies drop were a bit more noticeable. I hate having to scroll in and scan the area to find stuff. The voice acting isn't so great, but I don't expect expert VA from a Kickstarter funded game. All in all, I give the game a solid B so far.

Yeah they are definitely not free games. Anyone that calls them free doesn't realize that they paid 50$ for those free games, but they still don't truly own them as once they stop paying the yearly fee, the games are no longer playable. I like the value right now since it's allowed me to get a good few Vita games especially the amazing Wipeout. (This months is amazing with Muramasa also, I paid full price for it, but it get it as one of the monthly PS+ games is amazing and all Vita owners should jump on that if you have PS+). It's just gonna suck like 4-5 years down the line if I get tired to paying the 50$ a year and don't want to use my PS4 online much, and once I unsubscribe I end up losing a good amount of games in my library. Then again I'm fine til Dec. 2015 right now on PS+.

And seeing that EA news I hope they never try to bring any subscription service to Steam. The games are cheap enough as it is during the sale in the first place.
