Thanks!

Good luck everyone, it appears most of these giveaways will occur during my sleep-time :(

Yeah will PM the winner.

What I do find unethical tho is buying a bunch of bundles and then giving out (and even worse, trading) Steam/Desura codes from them. Why? Because you buy one copy of every game there and this way, you're effectively multiplying some of them even by three. That's illegal for one, since those codes are there for convenience only, and out of these two ways of illegaly obtaining a copy, pirating is the lesser evil since it doesn't cost bandwitch to the distributors. I know you're trying to be nice and I'd actually approve if you paid 3x the average price for every bundle (wouldn't make it legal, but at least ethical,) but hey, who am I to be pedantic.

Many thanks for your generosity ZYZKryten, +1 ;)

Let the fun begin!

General Bolt is so chivalrous and sagacious.

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH !!1!!111!!!! (jumps from balcony)

If there's going to be a problem posting the codes then I won't post them.

Just for your information I always pay well above the average for charity bundles, particularly the one that uses the charity I used to work for.

Just thought it would be a good way to use the codes instead of letting them go to waste.
There are also some unredeemed bundle gift codes all above the average.

I agree.

I really really hope that you have saved some gems from the first Humble Bundles. I woke up too late for these great offers and have missed so far Penumbra: Overrure, World of Goo, Machinarium and Frozen Synapse.

Let's see if at least one of those games pop up. ;)

+1 to you.

Very nice of you to be giving these away. Hopefully they find good homes!

Now, this is just the legal side, not the moral side, so make of it what you will.

(Also, complete gift bundles codes are not a problem)

But if you take a Indie bundle, those are "the whole package". You cannot give away the steam/desura keys and the DRM free copy to multiple people.

Steam keys are not an extra license.

Let me quote the Indie Royale faq:

Indie Royale bundles are strictly for personal use only. Sharing Steam keys because you already own a game in the bundle is not allowed. The same applies for Desura keys. If your friend wants a bundle you should gift them or they can purchase it themselves.


Same goes for just about every bundle.

Because of the legal framework licenses fall under, you cannot obtain a license "on good faith". You usually can also not "buy and trade" licenses like eg. physical goods. (It's a bit more complicated with gift codes, but those are generally "tradebale") That means every game redeemed from such a code is effectively legally the same as one gotten of the piratebay.

Again, that is the legal side. If you pay 35$ for an indie royale bundle I will be the last to call you out on giving some codes away. But be aware about the legal implications.

I don't want to be the spoilsport, but the indie royale people might get pissed of this widespread practice and might just revoke all the Steam keys unless you can confirm that you bought the bundle (which they can legally do). If it was a gift, not much of a problem. But with trades it really gets into iffy territory.

He's ok to give out full unredeemed bundles though. And the official groupees guys were fine with me trading a key from my bundle with another user who didn't have the bundle.
