    I wonder if Humble Bundle has any stance on the giveaways people do with their unused Humble Choice keys

        So perfectly fine in the common case where people give keys away for free.

        Like this one.

        THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies – only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.

        Please don’t take it unless you actually want to play it.

          Yeah exactly like that. Damn that’s a good one.

            At first I thought I was having a stroke, then I realized it was a key. If I may ask, why spell everything out instead of just posting a copy and paste able code? Only thing I could come up with was to prevent bots from scraping codes out of comments, but I think it would still be pretty easy to parse it into a regular game code.

              It’s probably not as bad here; But if you posted a game code on reddit without some kind of obfuscation, a bot would grab it in seconds. I was mostly just copying the person I was replying to.

                Yeah, it’s really just an old habit from Reddit. No idea if it’s necessary here, but really, if someone wants a free game and can’t be fussed to decode that, they probably don’t want that free game too badly anyway.

          Great game. Spent over 50 hours not even playing the campaign just exploring with a majority of the hazards turned off.

        It sounds like the typical Reddit giveaways would be fine under their TOS but they would understandably not provide support for them.
