undeadcow: A blue text explained once GOG has a policy that developers not provide both Steam and GOG keys together so that likely accounts for some absence in bundles, developers often chose to offer the more popular Steam instead.
Ah ok, so they have thought about this. That does make sense, if they were to offer cheap or even free GOG keys in some bundles, they'd want them to be recognized as GOG bundles, not Steam (and a little bit of GOG on the side) bundles.

With the Origin sale a lot of people probably ignored the Origin keys, I imagine GOG wouldn't want the same thing to happen. ;)

more to the fact the people keep one key and trade the other.

mobutu: Actually you'll really own that very ugly t-shirt ;)
Yep, but I will likely need to have a constant phone connection to them whilst wearing it, otherwise it would be textile piracy.

Really depends on whether the textile producers are making use of CEG (Clothing Efformation Government) or not.

nightcraw1er.488: And GOG is good value, hence why we are here on this forum rather theirs surely?
Surely that has more to do with GOG's forum (and its inhabitants) superiority compared to the Steam forum (and total lack of a Humble forum), rather than GOG's value compared to Humble Bundle.

Not sure if that matters that much to GOG, as long as someone uses (activates) the GOG key. Preferably of course someone who isn't already on GOG, but you never know either way.

prof.C20H25N3O: It seriously pains me to see this Star Wars Humble Bundle so soon after GOG finally got these titles. A massive chunk of potential sales have been lost to Steam. I want GOG to grow! I want to be able to buy more from GOG and less from Steam dammit.
Let me see : You want to buy the Star Wars games from GOG , but you don't want to spend more than $12 on the full pack . Am i right ?

It does, gOg will not only loose the custom from those who do not care (buying it from Humble, using the Steam key) but also loosing a % customers who would have bought the game on gOg but then trade the Humble gOg key for it instead. So it is a bit of a double whammy.

If getting them DRM-free is his goal I would say so.

I like steam just because it was the first digital software I found out about, where I can get games, and Humble Bundle was how they introduced me, I got the Humble Bundle and it came with steam keys. I like Humble Bundle how you pay anything you want to get games, but like everyone on here, I hope GOG grows, because Steam is getting too big for itself and doesn't really care about testing games or anything.
Yep, I think gog has to make some kind of deal with humble bundle. Both are the flagship of drm-free content (or... well, at least humble used to be Y_Y)
GOG is a competition of Humble Bundle, why on earth would they cooperate? it's like saying nVidia should cooperate with AMD...

I suspect its intentional by the publisher. If they view DRM-free as a means to theft... they likely wouldn't release to GOG unless they were willing to release to 1$ thrift-mart (Humble, groupees, bundle stars, etc). Getting games here just before the bundlers get them is likely the only way some publishers will ever allow it.
