Fractured Lands is free to play on steam for the weekend if anyone was interested
Whatâs âtemporarily outâ are the keys they allocated for the giveaway. Like when Iâm on travel for work and a hotel tells me theyâre âout of rooms at the company rateâ but try to get me to reserve a more expensive room. In both cases, they have the product, theyâre just choosing not to give it to you because of their business model.
I give this a pass anyway, but then again I refuse to play any game that puts me in contact with random people on the internet.
Rather than saying that keys are temporarily exhausted and giving false hope that they may one day get more, they should just be honest and say âsorry, there are no more keys. better luck next time.â
Personally i donât mind them sitting in my account as a reminder for giveaways i missed because of time zones.
Yeah this is a shitty move tbh, I sent them a mail cause I still havenât gotten Meadow, which I âtradedâ and owe to @anyamtikja and they basically responded âno, no keys everâ

I woke up to this:
"Dear Humble Store customer,

i actually speculated about something that turned out to be right for once?!?
halt the presses, gnome predicts future, -prepare for Ragnarok!!
If it was a mistakeâŚWhy say this
Wow. So they say theyâll send keys and then say it was a mistake? Sounds to me like poor management.
Itâs probably because thatâs the only message they have at hand and no actual âsorry, it was a mistakeâ type message for these situations. Just my guess.
Well, someone should suggest they make oneâŚbecause they have been âducking upâ a lot lately.
