I have over a dozen spare Steam Keys.
Is the staff here opposed to me selling/trading them in the Marketplace?
A user here brought up that allegedly it is against Humble Bundle's (I got most of the keys from Humble Bundle) ToS to redistribute keys obtained from them in any way....BUT! They also give out gift links for all their bundles.
I'd rather someone use them than them go to waste, because I already have all the games.
Further discussion on this:
I offer an analogy.
You go into a store and buy a TV
You go into the same store and buy a couch, it comes with the same TV you bought as an added bonus!
The store tells you that you can't give away that TV, even though it's legitimately yours.
Also, in this example; say if a shop was in fact doing a promotion where you got a free TV and was helping charity at the same time. It's still your TV once you've bought the 'bundle', you can go home and give it to your friend. The shop's goals or motives don't change the items being sold (and you giving away the TV doesn't hurt the shop in any way either).
As soon as it becomes a physical item we see how ridiculous the concept is, but for some people as soon as it becomes digital it's somehow 'different'.
Humble Bundle is nothing more than a distributor with no power to tell us how to use products--which they have no copyrights on--that we bought from them.
Also, this legality of not redistributing keys and whatnot applies to all these Pokemon X/Y Download Codes we've seen lately....no one's complained about those, and they are the exact same thing!
There's even a Goat Simulator Steam Key Auction going on right now,
located here.! That game is in the Humble Store, and also available at Greenmangaming.com.
Also looking for thoughts and opinions on this. I bought all of these keys, supporting Humble Bundle/Or whatever Bundle site I got them from, the indie devs who make the games, and the charities they take up. In fact I buy nearly every bundle, for more than the average/beat the average consistently. What I do with my individual keys has no effect on them whatsoever. I gain no profit (real profit, as in $$$) and my unused keys go to someone who will use them. What's the problem?
