The game Encodya on Humble's monthly subscription thing is supplied via a GOG code : https://www.humblebundle.com/subscription Considering that until now, all GOG keys available outside GOG were grey market or worse, this is surprising. Can the mods shed any light on this? Has GOG officially started selling GOG keys? Will other key resellers stock GOG as well?

humble have provided gog keys before and sell a few (witcher 3 i think for one) on there store,
this is unlikely a key though as they adopted a redeem system... well i think it was at least a year ago when they gave away a game (Seven?).

Didn't know some keys were already available on HB, I assumed they were steam keys. It does say GOG key but its a key to be redeemed on HB (see image) so I guess it'll be a new system.

The bundle actually provides a straight forward gog key which can be redeemed under gog.com/redeem without any linking your gog account to humble or the likes.

There have been some random GOG keys on Humble Bundle and Groupees.
Fanatical even had one bundle which had only GOG keys.

It's not very common, but it happens.

Last year or the year before, many of us got a GOG key at Humble for a game called - Seven: Enhanced Edition, which was going free there at the time.

And I have on occasion seen the GOG symbol next to a few games at Humble.

So its not really a rarity.

This is the second time, after Disjunction, that there is a GOG key in Humble's monthly subscription. Hopefully it becomes a regular thing, it's hilarious to see the comments of certain outraged users on the Steam forums.

The humble store has a search filter to find all GOG keys that aren't part of a bundle/monthly choice.

They only resell a few games. It mostly consists of Witcher and War For the Overworld.

As stated before, it has not been so long ago when you could get Seven on GOG through Humble in a giveaway. December 2020 to be exact. See screenshot.

You're right, it says

Redeem your key by following the instructions found in the Humble Support site.
I thought this meant to redeem it on Humble. But as pointed out Humble even has a filter and includes GOG games in bundles. I didn't know about GOG keys on Fanatical either. Good to see more partnerships, especially with resellers who do regional pricing.
