This War of Mine (GOG)
Some people on reddit are discussing that this giveaway might have been intended for a cybersecurity community rather than being generally open. It's a little unclear.
I opened the link took a key and immediately redeemed on GOG without understanding anything. My bad greed took over o_O
If it wasn't meant for the public I would sincerely apologize to the Polish cybersecurity. But now having a copy this is a game that will be on my extremely greedy backlog of games I will hope to play someday if not soon

i was referring to the indiegala official giveaway section, i don't blame you, you havnt search to make some profit with your key...it's all right
I saw the giveaway section was filled with a few of these game and am wondering where that came from. Too greedy for their own benefit.. I mean just take a key for oneself might already be bad enough if it is really mean for a closed group of people. Let alone take so many more copies for greed prophecy purpose :cautious:

Whoops, sorry i didn't saw the post up before posting on the other thread :(
PurpleGreenTremors if you still haven't reedemed it better don't.
I see that you were talking about the community giveaways and not the keydrops thread, still we shouldnt reedem it.
I'm sorry, I didn't know that your key came from that source so I already redeemed it. Best of intentions all around. :(

It's ok, I did the same half hour ago too without looking much into it. After reading the reddit discussion now, it looks like it is meant to be shared publicly, so no worries on your part (y). But, I don't think it is meant to be profited from in any shape or form especially in the form of grey market sites :(.

Some people are just out there to profit whenever the opportunity arises. I won't be surprised if there are some who will take more than a handful of those keys and trade them off even. I am plenty happy with being able to get 1 (abet also a little guilty for not trying to read/translate the polish text prior to greed redeeming)

Desperados and Mass effect legendary edition among the games of the month in Humble choice
This month's choice is way too enticing! All the 8 titles are something I would totally greed for 🤤

about 11 giveaways; most of them created by 2 members :mad:
I was translating this phrase from the download page

Polish
"Z powyższego powodu, by maksymalnie szanować Waszą prywatność, nie robimy tutaj logowania 2FA i przelewów za 1zł ;) Liczymy tym samym na Waszą uczciwość! Chcesz wspomóc Ukraine? Pobieraj kod!"

English Translated
For the above reason, in order to respect your privacy as much as possible, we do not do 2FA logins and transfers for PLN 1 ;) We are counting on your honesty! Do you want to support Ukraine? Download the code!

So apparently the 2 members didn't even care and have no honesty 😑

Well, I have to say it was really naive in this time and age to let people on the internet claim keys and depend on their honesty. 🍯 🪆
So I cannot condemn people for claiming 1 key for their own. But people as mentioned claiming 11 keys are another category. 🐈 🦍
Edit: It seems that the people who gave the keys are part of the cybersecurity community. Well, that really makes you think...

I can somewhat understand that it is due to security reasons (trying to not privy into the personal information of others) that they did not enforce any form of multi-account greed prevention but that certainly backfires as well as there are some who took more than enough keys they can actually consume themselves. 😫
