It seems a bit of "human error" happened with the latest Humble Indie Bundle and Sunless Sea. Humble were accidentally selling "Lifetime Edition" keys which gives access to all future DLC when it was supposed to be normal keys.
The current keys from the bundle will be revoked in a few days, so keep an eye on your emails with a link to the new key. It should just come up in your purchases if you're logged into Humble anyway.
The developers said this about it:
QuoteLifetime Edition keys are for our Kickstarter backers and everyone who bought the game while we were in Early Access. We moved to the current keys, just named SUNLESS SEA, on the day we launched. About 35,000 people bought the Lifetime Edition.
The issue with the wrong Bundle keys being given out was human error, which happens. Humble have stopped selling the incorrect keys, so it only affects a proportion of the Bundle Purchases. If you didn't get the email, you're fine.
We thought long and hard about this, and decided to replace the keys given out in error. We did this to honour the lifetime free DLC agreement we made with Early Access and Kickstarter backers, who supported us during development.
Regarding this having some kind of effect on your Steam account, or if you've already given away the new key, Humble support can help: http://support.humblebundle.com.

Tough call, but the right one I think.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: ElectricPrismI really want to know why people like Sunless Sea so much, seems like a boring underdeveloped game without content or excitement.Interesting setting. Great writing. Awesome atmosphere.
No diss intended, what I want to know is what makes it amazing?
In the end, it's a roguelite game where you will visit the same areas and have some of the same events again and again and again.What makes or breaks those events, in my opinion, is how well they are written, how interesting the characters are, how immersive is the atmosphere. In my opinion, Sunless Sea hits a home run in all those areas. It's just such a cool place to explore and the writing is so strong.
