Shit I better start giving out the huge amount of bundled keys I never used
Just reveal the codes, they can't be taken back then. Some are worth a lot now by the way, if you have stuff from older bundles.
Do you know any particular ones worth looking for? I remember swearing I had a code for Pico 8 and it was such a pain to wade through to find it. Might be worth the slog again to see if I had some valuable keys, been buying these things for awhile.
There is a search function... Rocket League is worth hundreds, as is Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition. There are some which go up and down, I'll have a gander at my lists (I buy and sell on the side) and let you know. Oh, and Poker Night.
I got a Rocket League key from 2016, why in the world would anyone want that? Can I see if it's redeemed without using it? If you want to broker for a cut send me a DM and we can start figuring out what's in here, I probably have other things too.
Probably because Rocket League was removed from Steam after Epic bought the developer, and your key may still be usable on Steam.
Because it’s the only way to get it on Steam now… Bonkers I know. Sure, can do. But, no way to see if it has been redeemed aside from messaging Steam. Did you reveal it yet? If not, no worries.
Yeah I'm looking at it. And I found my receipt for the game from a year earlier so I couldn't have used it. But it's been so long and that's not a trivial amount of money I'd want to be sure somehow before I wasted anybody's time.
Unless you have used it, it will still be active/usable. If you haven't gifted any games away (either with their gift feature or by giving codes away), cross-reference with your Steam library to make sure. There's also a script to show all the games you have unrevealed on HB: https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/inm60w/meta_how_to_easily_pull_a_list_of_all_your/
Bummer, redeemed the key but I've still yet to play rocket League, I could use a couple hundred...
Yeah, check out how much a Wolfenstein CD goes for...!
I've been making a spreadsheet of my unused keys from humble bundles going right back to the very beginning. There are over a thousand of them.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to do. Give them way to friends and family?
