skeletonbow: I was tempted to buy that for Risen games, Sacred 2, Saint's Row games and Dead Island, but already own Metro 2033 and not sure about Sacred Citadel. I hesitated not knowing whether they'd be one key per game or not because Humble is schizophrenic like that from one bundle to the next, so I held off. Good thing. I'll have to pass on that one.
Thanks for sharing that, I just recently bookmarked them but wasn't aware they were a shady site. Fortunately I never really looked at anything there as of yet. Removed!

I don't think so much that the keys are 'fake' as it is that some people are miffed about the reselling of Steam keys that were provided in bundles.
Devolver is one developer against the tactic.
I personally am on the fence. I see it more or less as trading them. Having said that, however, I can understand where the use of bots can harvest this situation so that any bundled keys may wind up underselling the developers for the next couple of years.
So it is to say that I think it an awesome thing if used in moderation and consideration.
But...to quote Mr. Ice T:
"BUT SHIT AIN'T LIKE THAT!!
IT'S REAL FUCKED UP!!!"
Bottom line is that if reselling the games is against the game developer or Steam or whoever's legal agreements then they don't have any legal right to resell the games and they're illegitimate. Once someone is proven to be violating the law or even just engaged in unethical business practice, that's enough for me to avoid doing business with them personally because it isn't clear what other shady things they'll consider it ok to do. And if the game developer invalidates the keys, there's no way to know in advance if something else you purchase might get invalidated too. I'd rather give my money to a company like GOG that takes the high road. Who wants to play guessing games with whether their game is valid or not? Not me. I'd suggest to buy from a legit store selling legit copies or just pirate it outright if being legit isn't important to a particular person, but the middle ground grey area is all lose-lose IMHO.
