As long as you copy down the key so you have it written down somewhere outside of humble the key itself wont expire. They’ll just remove it from your humble page on the 5th.
Hey there folks. I am not sure if this actually needs to be in its own topic or not since I only have a question regarding Satellite Reign.
I have a spare steam key. Now I know time is running out and I am a little confused what is true about expiration.
Does the steam key actually expire after the deadline or can it be activated later long after it vanished from your humble page?
Some people say it does expire and others say it wont as long as you reveal your key and store it.
I’d like to think the former is true, like @fraggles has mentioned.
Originally I had this key reserved for a friend on steam. I had messaged her offline and apparently she replied when I was offline saying she had it on GoG, but I never got a notification. Only noticed it much later when I was ingame when I briefly saw a notification in the overlay, hence the short notice. Steam being steam I guess…
So, if the key does not go to waste then i’ll throw it in a future giveaway coupled with some other games as I’ve got quite a few games collecting humble dust.
Usually the key sits around, you have only until the deadline to write it down, but it should still be valid. However, the counter point is that if you don’t activate it, can it be given to someone else through another means by the site, who knows?
Chances are, the key is valid and not revealed for someone else, and that you should have all of the time in the world to activate it.
There is no way for humble/devs/anyone to tell whether a key has been activated or not, without attempting to activate it with steam. Recycling keys is not a feasible scenario.
