$1 Min. Price For Getting Steam Keys

humblebundle:

Hey guys, we’ve noticed that a number of un-humble users are buying lots of Humble Indie Bundle 4’s for one penny, and then using their Steam codes to “legitimize” automated Steam accounts in order to increase their odds of winning prizes in Valve’s current raffle promotion. This is unfair to legitimate entrants and is definitely not what we wanted to encourage with Humble Indie Bundle 4. It’s a lose-lose situation for the indie developers, charities, Valve, and Humble Bundle.

Therefore, starting immediately, new orders under a humble threshold of $1 will not contain Steam keys.

If you can’t afford a dollar but still need a Steam key and promise not to resell it or otherwise abuse it, please contact our support team with your humble appeal and we’ll purchase a new bundle for you on a case by case basis.

What do you guys think about this change? Is there a better way to help cut down on abuse?

Good on them. In fact, I’d make it more than $1. For one thing, these indie games took a lot of time and money. And a lot of the money is going to deserving charities.

I’d of thought that’d be worth more than $1.
