    Hopefully all of you who got in on this wonderful deal kept your emails from Wolfire cuz the pack is now redeemable on Steam!! Just go to your game download page and it will have a Steam activation key up top.

    And for those of you who wonder what the Humble Bumble Indie Pack was: It was a pack of indie games given away for FREE!! All they asked for was a small donation to support some very worthy organizations. Stingy grumps donated 1¢, decent people donated more. Overall the fundraiser raised $1.3M for charities.

    Games included: Penumbra Overture, World of Good, Aquaria, Lugaru HD, Gish, Samorost 2

    For those of you who loved this promotion, they are getting ready for Humble Bumble Indie Pack #2

    Let's just clear it up right now; you're an absolute fool if you don't sign up for this and get pack #2 if you missed the first one.

    Hmm, my bad if this was already posted. I did a search and I couldn't find anything. Perhaps the original thread is named something different then I would have expected.

    Rude? Hardly. It was succinct and brusque

    (Still relatively new to Steam and trying to figure things out.) Why would I want to activate these games on Steam? It doesn't make sense to me to add DRM to games that are DRM free. What are the main advantages, other that being able to download your games whenever you want?

    it keeps your game collection organized and patched automatically. it makes it easy to install your games and uninstall your games if you switch computers or reformat your computer. if your friends use steam, you can use the community features to contact them. some games use cloud features in steam to save your progress. there are steam achievements associated with many games (including at least some games from this bundle)

    Just activated mine.

    Gotta find time to play these games. I heard interesting things about cortex command, it was the main game that made me get the bundle but so far the 10 minutes I spent with it I was pretty confused and didnt do too well.
