Limited availability on digital goods

Limited availability on digital goods

really makes you think

They get limited keys from the devs/steam/whoever sells them?

>being this underage
They don't own the rights to those goods.

>being this blind
those goods are made of air
the whole deal about digital distribution is that the cost of distribution is almost non-existent, and the value of replicating a copy is literally zero

Air is finite, user. And they still don't own the rights, so they still aren't allowed to sell more than they have in their contract.

These are all leftover games from previous bundles, so yeah, they have a limited stock.

Based IGN, can't donate to their charity

It's interesting to note that both of those games are independently published, so it wasn't publisher fuckery.
It can't be Steam fuckery either since the other games are on Steam too and those two are pretty popular so Valve wouldn't limit the keys only for those two.

The answer is that the developers are fags.

I understand, but it is so simple to alter the deal
>hey guys, we sold 1 MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN ESTIMATED
>could you pls gives us some more keys?
>ok, *click* *click*, done

Maybe they tried getting more keys. Maybe the bundle isn't profitable enough to the developer of the game in question to hand out more keys to Humble. Have you ever thought about that? Of course not, because you don't think at all.

Indie devs don't want to give a shitload of keys away for such a low price so they only give a limited amount to HB. It's not a hard concept. HB doesn't generate the keys.

>Maybe the bundle isn't profitable enough to the developer of the game in question to hand out more keys to Humble.
That is interesting
>Have you ever thought about that? Of course not, because you don't think at all.
No, and no

why getting in the deal to begin with? they know humble sells 2-3 million dollars from every bundle
if you are going in with limited quantities SAY IT UPFRONT in the bundle page, and not a week later

this shit happened last xmas, too, and some people got fucked with the Yogcast bundle not receiving the whole bundle

>if you are going in with limited quantities SAY IT UPFRONT in the bundle page
They did, it was known right from the start. You just make shit up as you go, don't you?

>Only given a set number of keys.
>Can only sell what's given.

FUKKIN JUWS DID THIS, 1/0S RIGHT SOYBROS??

>They did, it was known right from the start. You just make shit up as you go, don't you?
No and no

Yes. People seem to think you can generate infinite number of keys or something. I'm surprised it took Valve this long to set limitations on how many Steam keys devs can generate. After all, why waste bandwidth on games people didn't even buy directly through your store?

Not that user, they did say that there was limited quantities at the start of the sale.

>People seem to think you can generate infinite number of keys or something.
But you can.

Being in the HB is basically a form of marketing as well as getting more or less guaranteed money. But there's a point where the price is so low that it's no longer profitable.

Just pirate the shit. Unlimited all day long.

I have to be fair in that regard, because I just confirmed they did
still can't accept this shit exists
valve supplies keys for free

VALVE DOESN'T OWN THE RIGHTS TO THOSE GAMES
HUMBLE DOESN'T OWN THE RIGHTS TO THOSE GAMES
Jesus Christ user, how underage can you be? Someone worked to make the game, they decide how and where it's sold, and at what price.

>underage
I am starting to believe you are the underage here
I am saying valve supplies the keys for free to the devs
If you enter a bundle that is known to be sold to many, don't enter to begin with
they use those games as bait
imagine the fuck that didn't get his key

my man it says "sold out" right there, there isn't a fuck who didn't get his key

the dev doesn't "enter" the bundle, the humble people buy a specific number of keys for money from the dev, these are left over keys from previous bundles

come on

>being this dense

Only actual children don't get how this works.

>my man it says "sold out" right there
someone literally bought the bundle before the sold out appeared, and didn't get the key. you can't deny that, because noone knows the keys left
>these are left over keys from previous bundles
Ok, that is doable. It is a good explanation, 2bh
judging by the games that appear in bundles, I think they are deals with publishers
After the IGN thing, packing RE5 in the monthly is a red flag of old keys from old deals

>being this being
you can't discuss anything, other than insulting

same again
maybe you are the one who doesn't understand my point, big boy

>literally bought the bundle before the sold out appeared, and didn't get the key.

user... it's a fucking computer
They don't have to physically walk over and check if there are any keys left in the key storage

Someone buys the last key, the computer says "no keys left" and "sold out" appears

>noone knows the keys left
They do user, they do

>someone literally bought the bundle before the sold out appeared, and didn't get the key. you can't deny that, because noone knows the keys left
And he'd get a refund if he contacted support. Humble can't do anything about keys running out while a potential customer still has an outdated version of the store page in his memory.

>you can't discuss anything, other than insulting
>maybe you are the one who doesn't understand my point, big boy
The thread is filled with arguments, that you just discard to make up some new shit to suit your argument. At some point, people give up. Arguing with plain stupid is a waste of time.

>They do user, they do
they, but not we
>user... it's a fucking computer
yes, but checkout is not instant. probably 4-5 got fucked without seeing the banner

>you just discard to make some new shit
exactly what you are doing, while my point is still the same: that they can do better because they are digital goods
>Arguing with plain stupid is a waste of time
you are an open book

You can't understand my point is they can do a lot better, being digital goods, like unlimited supplies, and you keep complaining about who is making the deal, and that they can't do anything

my ass

>exactly what you are doing, while my point is still the same: that they can do better because they are digital goods
>You can't understand my point is they can do a lot better, being digital goods, like unlimited supplies
user, you might want to get tested for mental retardation. Just because you can make infinite amounts of licenses doesn't mean that there's an infinite amount of customers.
No customers, no sales. No sales, no income. No income, no food and no home.
I know literal children that grasp this concept.
