just give them away

synfresh: They did away with the 2nd method as it's no longer supported by Valve. if you click the gift icon, it only gives you a URL to give to whoever you are gift to. Redemption for yourself now only comes in the form of a key.
They are not using it for new bundles but they have not removed it for older bundles.
Steam will stop supporting this but up until today it still works.

Leroux: If you're not interested in these games and would like to give them away, and you expect that many others would enjoy them:
PM the codes to foxworks or Sachys for their huge BIZARRELY BONZA BONANZA BAZAAR OF BAZOOKERY giveaways here on GOG, during the periods they accept donations.
Cheers Leroux! - but don't forget, to donate at any time, PM foxworks regarding the offsite donations service.

I've been trading them as I can, occasionally gifting a single title here or there if someone spontaneously mentions they'd like to try it.

The rest are just collecting dust until I do a massive giveaway and dump them all at once. I've avoided other giveaways like the BBBBBB...uh... BB... because they're already overloaded with crap Steam keys. I'll try and dump my own crap Steam keys on my own. ;)

You can still donate them - when we reach steam key armageddon we just do another steam only version to cull the numbers and prevent them from feeding on the GOGbear population!

Stevedog13: That's the problem, the gift icon only appears next to a few games. None of the rest have that option.

ET3D: That's strange. There two types of steam redemption I'm familiar with on Humble. The old way is that you click the Steam key and you get a key, which you can do anything you want with. The new way is that you click the Steam key and it redeems on an account, in which case you have the gift icon. The second type has a "Steam keys will be redeemed to ..." text on the top right, the first one doesn't.
I think you can't gift Steam codes or links for individuals games you've bought via the Humble Store.

You can't get links but if you buy games in the store you get a key now.
(Games purchased before remains as you say, I think)

Looks like you're right. My Kickstarter copy of Broken Age is unclaimed, uses the 'redeem on account' method, but there's no gifting option for it.
