Humble bundle region lock?

[Zangato]

Anyone knows where to see if game has region lock, i check through Humble bundle site and could find it.

[mimizukari]

open the site in the correct region. do not use VPN to access humble bundle, and just buy whatever you want. it's an authorized retailer, you'll get keys for your region.

steamlocked.com or steamdb.info as example

For me it was a reason to give up Humble (now IGN) a long time ago and spend not more money there as they deserve. They were not been able to label products correctly for years

Most keys are world wide, if it has a region lock it should tell you somewhere on that very game page on humble bundle, or in the bundle itself.

Now games that's banned from a certain country, you need to look up yourself, and check if the game banned in your country, which if it is, you can't claim the key it will give you a message why you can't claim it, don't worry key isn't used in this case. You can try checking on the steam store, and see if game appars for sale, if so, then most likely not banned from your country.

If you're using a VPN, and seeing things that others will not, then that be your problem right there, as you're not suppose to be faking your location when buying.

if you want to gift someone a game in a different country send them a steam digital gift card.

As long as you don't use the integrated Steam "gift" system, you can gift anything you want. Requirement: You have the key yourself and that situation is given with Humble, yes.

If a key is still blocked, solutions have already been mentioned.

They officially announced store wide regional pricing. Regional pricing implies that a products is avaliable in your Region (otherwise there would not be any regional price)

Therefore you can assume that any key you can buy will be lock-free (at least for your own Region)
Since you are not meant to distribute your redeemed keys in any way because you are not an authorized reseller there is no need for a question for a Region lock.

If you want to gift it tho then there is the Humble gift link option which give the redeemer a key for his / her current Region.

So buying as gift does not stick a region mark on it before activating?

Not sure about individual purchases from their store but the humble choice tells you before you create a gift link if the game has a regional restriction:

Exactly this
There are several games that are completely locked in some regions.
For example Wolfenstein: NO or OB (before the recent changes in our laws) were blocked in germany completely. So if it was part of a bundle or there was a store page of said games on Humble it was not viewable or buyable in my Region. And if you tried to buy and gift it to me it would give you the message that it is not avaliable in Germany BEFORE casting it into a gift.

In case of wolfenstein they replaced those games with the German Edition tho buy anyways the uncut versions been dealt with as described. That guy with what ever japanese symbols in his Name is just one of those wannabe whistleblowers. If something is not redundantly obvious it is either broken or inexistant...

Oh and Individual purchases simply work as bundles with one article. You can even view your purchase in a bundle-view with some trickery. But every product lands in the same "Keys" section.. Either bundle or Individual - as long as it is a key of course

Looks like only buying as gift and choosing from monthly might tell you about restrictions.
But restrictions can be on everything.

If there are possible restrictions Humble lets you know on gifting

With bundles you have to assume then they are region locked, before you can get to gifting a part.

Unfortunately that is hard to tell from my position because it is mostly Germany that gets all them cut versions with region-locks and what not...

But from what I've read it should be like this:
When you buy a bundle then you can see the games in your inventory without a key at first. You can redeem them in two different ways. First one is the obvious one "Reveal your Steam key". This should simply pull any key avaliable for your region. While it is the vast majority of games that either have ROW-versions or that don't have any restrictions at all you simply could hand out that key to a friend if you decided to do so instead of redeeming it yourself. Of course this does not work on games that have solid restrictions like those Wolfenstein games in germany before changes.

The second one is the more unexplored one "Gift to a friend". This from what I understand should generate a link which first is no Steam (or other DRMs) redemption option at all. You send this Humble link to a friend and then it should pull a key that works on his or her region (based on IPs.. hence the reminder not to use VPNs). Before generating a gift link Humble SHOULD warn you about restrictions. If it does not then it is either a ROW-version or it simply has only one global version
