HumbleBundle DON'T SELL GOG KEY OF ANY GAME.
It's the game publisher which provides the game code for GOG on HumbleBundle.

There are no official reseller for GOG keys.
In The Witcher 3 the CDPR provides GOG key to Distributors.
Else if you find key anywhere else it means they are reselling it without contacting GOG.

That could be said for all the other keys (Steam, Origin, ...) and all other bundle sites.

I wonder if any sites are official Steam or Desura resellers. I know that both Steam and Desura offer easy ways for devs to general any number of keys they wish, but do stores partner with them?

Tieing games exclusively to a GOG account is like Steam exclusives. Sounds good to the distributor in question but bad to everyone else.

So far GOG only distributed games and did not possess games. So there was no reason to sell them indirectly over another store when you can sell them directly here. That would be just too much levels of indirection.

Now with GOG actually starting to become publisher their games may also be sold somewhere else (on Steam for example). But that's not what you wanted.

You wanted for example retail games that have a GOG code inside (and nothing else). Well while this is possible I doubt it makes much sense (although for Steam it seems to make sense) because well, you just have two sellers in a row then and both want cuts, but the product doesn't get better.

So, except maybe for marketing purposes, this does not make much sense.

Also people wanting to support GOG should buy their games directly from here.

I heard that's a scam site.
Not sure I if can trust you on this.

The vast majority of Origin and Uplay keys bundled are for EA and Ubisoft-published games respectively though, so they are getting actual profit from these sales. In CDPR's case this is only possible with Witcher games which is why they sell GOG keys for those via Humble Store and some other resellers in Witcher 3's case.

Well, Origin bundles were pure charity, so in this case they don't. Anyway, Steam and Desura, then. These don't get any direct profit.

Though it's still a good point. Perhaps if GOG gets more games it publishes directly we could end up seeing a Humble GOG Bundle.

I bought Blood 2 from Gamersgate around a year and a half ago (used blue coins there so got it free).

I was pretty surprised when it turned out to have the GOG installer

The Humble Store give GOG keys when you bought any of the Witcher games.

Wait, isn't that this pirate site that sells cracked games? I'd never support them...!

It also sells free abandonware games! How dare they!!!
