Of course. I wouldn't recommend giving away desura key when you're using the steam key, but do what you want :)

Thanks for reply, and sorry if the question seemed kinda silly

Well, the question isn't silly in the slightest. And the answer that Keeveek gave isn't as correct as it seems.

More important is the question, do you want a legal answer or a moral answer?

The legal 1 is the 1 that bothers me most now. Heck I just wanted to give someone a gift :)
Well, you are buying the license, and you can't really transfer that license. But nobody cares, maybe except for the publishers and bundle owners who'd rather prefer that it would look like "one person - one bundle" , but who would listen to them?

That legal mumbo-jumbo interests only the lawyers. You are free to share your keys, no one will send you to jail for that :P

By the way, I asked the BeMine3 support on chat about that, and they said I should rather convience my friend to buy the bundle, but I may give away the code if I want to.

Let me put it this way. No one will frikkin care.

But no, you can't. Generally, unless it is explicitly stated (and even then it is rather complicated) you cannot trade licenses you personally bought from any digital retailer. That means any game you buy, you buy for you. That is also the reason you would need to use the gifting options if you want to gift something, digital gifting is legally a different mechanism than, say you are gifting a CD to somebody.

Some bundle explicitly stated that you can in fact share unwanted keys (which results in legal clusterfuck those bundle sellers obviously didn't think of). But with enough creativity, it would be legal.

I took a look at the terms and conditions and I couldn't find anything that says sharing the keys is deemed OK by groupees.

That being sad, the laws should be pretty much the least of your considerations.r Especially as it is very unlikely to expect trouble from this.

But you should take a moral choice on this. The package is a "pay what you want package", that means you probably paid only the amount you would pay for the games you wanted, not for the whole package. Therefore giving away the other keys is morally similar to piracy, because no income was provided.

I personally am very OK with piracy and don't have a problem if people that can't afford games get them for free, one way or the other. But how you feel about this is more important.
They changed the rules. Postal 2 Complete is already unlocked :D

Are you sure about Cordoba? I can download it.
I'm still on the fence about getting the bundle or not ...

I already have the Oddworld games on CD-ROM and on Steam, it's kind of tempting to get a DRM-free version though, so I could also try to install them offline on my traveling netbook. Then again, I now own them for longer than 12 years and have never even played through teh first one, so it's doubtful if I ever will. :(

I'm also tempted by the Avernum games but I don't really like their inconsistent look (especially the portraits don't really seem to fit with the rest of the GUI and in-game graphics). I'm not that picky with regard to pixelated graphics, low resolution and such, but I set great store in artistic consistency ... And I still haven't finished Avernum. I'm not that good with finishing really long RPGs (and these would mean three more to my backlist).

I'm mildly interested in Hamilton's Great Adventure, but I fear my current video card won't be able to handle it (I think I already tried the demo on Steam and it was lagging terribly).

As for the others, I don't enjoy 'realistic' wargame shooters and I don't think I would enjoy Postal 2 either. I watched a gameplay video on youtube once and was seriously disgusted by the player hunting and slaughtering civilians in the most brutal ways. I know it's just a game and intentionally tasteless, but I guess it's not for me. I don't see any fun in that.

The music doesn't seem like my cup of tea either. The movie could be interesting ... unless it's boring, heh. Did anyone already watch it? Or does anyone have any other insights in the bundle's content that could help me decide? :)
82 and that is a very big list.

gameon: And there is a special bonus for anyone who buys before friday. Plus at $40,000 sold, theres a steam game that got 83 on metacritic.
Thats all we know so far.

I'd say its worth buying.
Hm, I don't doubt that the bundle is worth buying, the only question is for whom? ;)

The special bonus could be a music album I don't like and the Steam game a shooter that doesn't run on my low end rig ... Then again, maybe it's fun to gamble and I could always gift the bundle. Although, I wonder if I buy the bundle as a gift without redeeming it before Friday, would the bonus still get added or does it only apply to direct purchases?
Never bought from Groupees before, do I need to sign up to buy the bundle? And can I pay with PayPal?

Yes to both.
