Humble have a Stand with Ukraine Bundle with 100% going to charity

It's a full charity bundle, completely different to normal bundles and they've always done this for them. Otherwise, people will just pay the $1 to get a bunch of Steam keys to resell.

Careful, very emotional message

when you tried to pay less than 1$, how cool is this?! I use it everywhere, it's my steam avatar for instance.
I was personally one of those who paid way above average to support the indie devs who supported my platform, out of gratefulness, even though I had very little money as a student. And the fact they gave me the freedom to pay what I want also gave me the will to pay more. It was one of the things I loved about humble indie bundle, I felt respected and trusted.
They now advertise "pay what you want" and put a rather high minimum. That just doesn't feel like "pay what you want" anymore to me, whatever the reason.

They dropped other things that I loved about it:
- DRM-free, mostly gone
- not really indie games supportive anymore, it's just like other front stores for AAA games
- multi platform, completely gave up on that

Those were points that made the very soul of humble bundles, and I'm frustrated that those days are gone, thus my slightly salty comment :p

I still respect the fact it's a full charity bundle, very nice, the games in this bundle are indeed pretty good, although I have most of those already.

And Valve stops paying ukraine devs. Shame on you Gabe.

Are we back to jumping to conclusions already? It’s an issue with their bank, they are working to resolve it, and developers can request payment to bank accounts situated outside Russia/Belarus/Ukraine in the meantime.

And Valve is there to offer the infrastructure for all those games you got for free. Shame on you STiAT.

Does Steam allows to activate multiple keys at once?
Instead of clicking through several pages every time?

As far as I know, no. Bundle page is four clicks and keys page is the same. Some games come in bundles though, so you'll save some clicks.

Some years ago the activation happened directly from the bundle page, but now activation happens always from Steam store (you can activate the key with Steam client with the code, but that's even more cumbersome).

Sounds like something that could be scripted...

just go to https://store.steampowered.com/account/registerkey and click "activate multiple products", then you can just paste one key per line.
Remember that you can only activate 50 Keys per hour

Glad to help with this one too.

That's not there by default. I found these instructions though: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1369737759

I glanced at the script code and it does seem to have integration to Humble and few similar services. Hopefully it doesn't contain anything malicious, I'm not Javascript guru so I can't really tell.

I knew this one is coming after itch.io did the same, but unfortunately, I've skipped both bundles because I already own everything from the bundles that I cared to play. There are other ways I can donate money for Ukrainian relief efforts, or I could simply pass some money to a refugee.

That's not there by default.

oh, i wasn't aware about that - the only thing i have in that regard is the Steam-Economy-Enhancer, seems it also adds that option without mentioning it. Sorry for the confusion ^^

Ha, some are complaining about the minimum. I spent enough that they said they had to personally verify it... and I basically have probably 80-90% of the games already.

Ha! Peasants, am I right? I paid so much they named an orphanage after me... and I don’t even play video games.

ha, I want an orphanage named after me. Kidding, if I'm going to donate, I do it anonymously. Which brings up the people who are putting their names on there and donating lots of cash. I mean won't they get on Russia's 'list'?

Such weird times we live in...

This would have been useful yesterday when I sat in front of my computer and copy/pasting for what felt like hours... turns out, I didn't have a lot of the games in the bundle, so there is that.

I'll probably sit on the extra keys for a while and give them away at some point.

The ones I never bother with because they piss me off is the 'you get the software for a year!' This crap of software as a service needs to go away...

Does anyone have a list of the games from the bundle that would work on Linux (Native or proton) ?

At least according to Hillary Clinton it's badge of honor. If you get into Russian sanctions list, you're doing something right. If it's just sanctions, they will only hurt you if you actually have some ties to Russia.

Here are the native ones, getting list that shows which ones work with Proton is little bit more complicated. For Proton anyway, it's good to check details bit more closely from Protondb as games can sometimes have problems with certain setups.

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs
Amnesia Rebirth
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Broken Age
Corridor Z
Drawful 2
Draw Slasher
EarthX
Fury Unleashed
Hexologic
Kerbal Space Program
Kingdom: Two Crowns
Long Dark (this might not be listed native everywhere, but at least Steam store thinks its native and I have played it without Proton)
Metro Exodus
Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine
Moon Hunters
Pathway
Pawnbarian
Pikuniku
Radio Commander
Shing!
Skullgirls 2nd Encore
Slay the Spire
Starbound
SUPERHOT
This War of Mine
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove
Tooth and Tail
Vagante
Wanderlust Travel Stories (GOG only)
We are alright (actually a video)
Wizard of Legend
ΔV: Rings of Saturn

Comics and books should work, they rarely have DRM (if ever)

Thanks for all the helpful input!

Very appreciated. :)
