Humble Game Maker Studio 2 Bundle

[Tex Murphy]

This game is in this bundle in the $1 tier, but the game is already free. Why and how?

Maybe the dev want to make the game paid in the future (i know that steam need around 3/4 week before changing price to a game), already taken on steam in case off ...

The game is free and will remain free forever, however buying the game through the bundle grants you a steam key which allows the game's achievements to count towards your overall steam achievement total (or so I've heard from those who have asked me for steam keys in the past) and will also unlock an additional Humble-exclusive download in a week or so from now ;)

I already had the free version and couldn't add the key until I removed it first. Also as far as I know anyway, games that say "Profile Features Limited" on the store page will still keep people from displaying the achievements.

Same here. Can't activate: flagged as already owned.

You must remove the game from your library first.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I've had people reach out to me and ask for Steam Keys since free games don't count as activated and they wanted the game to count as activated for whatever reason. I think I just incorrectly recalled it being steam achievements :P

Right click the game in your library, go to Manage and click "Remove from account", then you can add the key.

The difference is the license changes from "Complimentary" to "Retail", but as long as it says "Profile Features Limited", it will not add +1 to profile game count, or make any other real difference.

it doesnt make difference if u add it for free on steam or get it from humble bundle...but at hb u must pay 1€ ;)


i dont like this practices, free game in 1€ bundle xD

[󠀡Syd 🍺]

Well, nobody is angrier about it than me, I bought the $25 option thinking I would get a gamemaker 2 key on steam since they were promoting its steam ratings, humble really did a number on us on this one and I told them what I thought.

[GrumpyArab]

Please dev, contact HiB so they could remove your game from the bundle. Such a waste of my time.

[󠀡Syd 🍺]

Go easy, it's rare we have to remove a free game so we can pay for it to own it again.
This product is Free to Play on Steam.
Feb 22 - Purchased on Steam - view receipt <-- Complimentary (free).
Dec 20 - Activated as part of: Super Raft Boat <-- Retail (key).

[󠀡Syd 🍺]

Honestly this game has great ratings and the dev is mostly giving it away for free, I think he's a good person. And humble is all about the charity, especially since IGN bought them. A little of that is sarcasm for those slow to pick up on it.

[󠀡Syd 🍺]

Sarcasm aside, we should cut this developer a break on this one. Humble approached him about this, not the other way around (just my guess, I can't say for sure). For the record this game was not my problem with that humble bundle.

[Carson]

I hinted at a Humble-exclusive to be added to the bundle a few days ago and that exclusive is finally here. Buying Super Raft Boat through the Humble Bundle will grant you access to the game's source code, so you can mod the game to your heart's content or just see how it all works on the inside :)

Unless humble is being slow like usual, It seems those of us who bought this terrible bundle (and not because of your game) early do not get a key for the dlc. I hid redeemed keys with the checkbox and nothing new is there.
