Steam keys expiring?

[pink diamond ❤]

I'm asking if Steam keys expire, even if you redeem them. I will buy a bundle on Humble Bundle, and I'm asking if they expire if you don't redeem them on time or you can only play them until the expiration date.

No keys don't expire. The only thing you ever have to worry about with keys is they may have been obatined through illegitimate means and may be revoked by the publisher at some point.

Although that is something you do not have to worry about with humble as their keys are obtained from the publishers.

The only thing you may find if you don't redeem the keys straight away is they may run out. I've had that happen to me a couple of times. It's not a problem though really, it just means you have to wait until they get more stock.

Steam keys never expire.

But 30-60 days after a bundles finishes, the bundle sites will send unused keys back to the publisher. So if you redeem a key after that, and it doesn't work, you may struggle to get a replacement.

That's new. Which sites are doing that? Humblebundle, Bundlestars and Indiegala as well?

HumbleBundle free keys have an expiration date on them.

That is a lie.

Do they expire even if you redeem them? Your answer wasn't very clear.

No, they won't expire if you redeem them.

The free key they giveaway expire at a time listed in your key page...

Once redeemed, they do not expire as they were already redeemed. And the expiration date goes away.
