amok: Are you
that dense? the reason to have the bundles in the steam database is to be able to redeem / buy it as such. Humble no longer does so. This has nothing at all to do about selling Humble links, but the internal workings of Steam.
This bundle has 2 separate entries in the steam database - Humble do not need it as they do not use that system any more. It is pointless for humble to have 2 separate steam entries for any bundle. So I ask why - your answer is not an answer to this. you are just enforcing what I am saying.
Foxhack: You realize that the links Humble uses are functionally no different from a text-based key? They may not give you a written key but the item functions the same. I've activated items from recent bundles with Humble links and they activate the same item as a standard CD key would.
So yes, I do believe that they're going to use two separate keys (as
humble urls) with multiple games each for this bundle.
Yes, I realise that. All I said is that it may not be a humble bundle, as this would just be a redundant system. If I remember how it works now correctly, the Humble URL is related to the games within it, and this do not correspond with the Steam data base. The point of having the 2 entries in the database is that it can be redeemed with 2 separate keys / purchases, and Humble no longer use this system, as all redeems now are individual keys/urls.
All I am saying is that Humble no longer need a normal and BTA entry in the steam database, in fact they no longer need to have any bundle registered there at all, as it is easier to just use the internal separate keys (which it uses now anyway). All they need is associating the games separately to an account/humble URL. Creating 2 separate entries in the Steam database, which is not going to be used, is pointless. I am not saying that they have not done so, for all I know they have, people like to do pointless things all the time, but I question if this is likely a Humble bundle for the above reason. That was all I was saying. Not sure why it needed all that rage....
