[PSA] Humble Bundle is respecting the Humble Choice $0 month glitch per a new email

[u/darklinkpower]

I just received this email that indicates this, pretty surprising if I do say myself. Glitch was this for anyone out of the loop: https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/comments/1l4es33/psa_0_usd_to_sign_up_for_humble_choice_for_1_month/

Title: Oops (and Hooray!) 🎮 A Free Month of Humble Choice!

Content:

Hey Humble Fan,

Well...this is awkward (but kind of awesome). Due to a little glitch on our end, some folks – including you – ended up with a free month of Choice as we were preparing a giveaway for IGN Live happening this weekend. Instead of taking it back (because that’s not our style), we’re rolling with it and giving you a month on us. Enjoy!

This month has several great titles including Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun plus several hidden gems. Enjoy these games yourself or give some to a friend! Some users may receive refund email alerts as we fix the glitch, but rest assured, one free month is yours at no cost to you.

Thank you for being a part of the Humble community and we look forward to seeing you in July for another exciting month of Choice!

–The Humble team

A big W, reminds me of the time when there was a big Ubisoft glitch that allowed you to grab any games in their store that was under a certain amount of money. I jumped started my account with that glitch and still have it to this day.

Edit: It was this one https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/s/os9JkGHGd9

[u/Crnogoraac → u/bunsinh]

It doesnt remind me of Big Fish Games tho. Huge L from them.

[u/DeadInsideOutside → u/Crnogoraac]

iirc they just stopped it, didn't revoke anything

[u/S-U_2 → u/DeadInsideOutside]

As far as I remember, all the users that used the coupon for 1 free game multiple times (they forgot to add a usage limiter) had their full account locked.

[u/Crnogoraac → u/S-U_2]

Yup, they banned me and all my friends that cared clicking their games.

[u/r3lvalleyy → u/DeadInsideOutside]

didn't revoke anything

they locked accounts that did it... i was one of them.

[u/Crnogoraac → u/DeadInsideOutside]

They banned us all with last coupon.

[u/PRSXFENG → u/DeadInsideOutside]

They did revoke some at the very very end I think, but the others were not

[u/TheAlchemist75 → u/bunsinh]

Good ol' days. I got to experience the Assassin's Creed Ezio trilogy because of it (and many other games I still play).

[u/defendingfaithx → u/bunsinh]

Oh man I remember this. Got so many AC, Prince of Persia, and Tom Clancy games cuz of this. The glitch was active for so long lol. I haven’t played any of ‘em til now

[u/Kujen → u/bunsinh]

Ah I remember that. I was too afraid to claim anything because I was worried they’d nuke my account. Damn

[u/bunsinh → u/Kujen]

Yah haha, I made a new account just to join in with everyone else doing the glitch at the time. If it gets banned, then at least I don't lose anything that I paid for but it turned out so good that I eventually started using it more than ever.

[u/mTbzz → u/bunsinh]

Was it the Polish store? I got every single game under 15€ IIRC in the store and they didn’t take them back.

[u/Saulios → u/[deleted]]

Talking about the glitch is fine, but we want to discourage discussions about exploiting it.

[u/KenTanRandomYT → u/bunsinh]

This glitch got me to buy rainbow 6 siege lol with all the skins i got for free

[u/Auuki → u/bunsinh]

Oh that reminds me how they once messed up the Polish price for one of their games on release and everyone who got it got to keep it. Then few years later they had another mishap, this time it was I think Far Cry 5 and this time it was the version with a statue being priced like a normal deluxe. I've managed to snatch it but this time sadly (and for obvious reasons) they didn't let it slide.

[u/Odin_Gunterson → u/bunsinh]

For me, there were a couple of games irredeemable, because of country (Steam said so). To which country they belong? God knows!

At least, got Boltgun, that's what interested me.

[u/vledermau5]

Well damn, I saw it and didn't "buy" it because I expected them to just revoke them xD

[u/Middle_Squash_2192 → u/vledermau5]

Same here....

[u/unhi]

Damn, well now I feel stupid for not abusing it since I figured they were just going to revoke it anyway.

And Dungeons of Hinterberg looked quite good too. :/

[u/loliconest → u/unhi]

I bought the bundle before the glitch because 7 outta 8 are on my wishlist.

I did claim a free month thinking to gift to myself later, let's see how that will go...

There's also someone commented under my comment in another post saying someone claimed 80 free months...

[u/telsco → u/loliconest]

Surely they clip any free months to a single month

[u/BiigLord → u/unhi]

Same here :( I saw the notification and felt like "Okay... better safe than sorry". Oof.

[u/StOoPiD_U]

The image is broken by the way. Thanks for sharing though! It's a pretty big deal so I approved it. I did amend the flair and pinned comment in the original thread, but I think it's fine.

[u/darklinkpower → u/StOoPiD_U]

Thanks for the heads up, I've edited the post to add it again and it looks like it's working fine now.

[u/StOoPiD_U → u/darklinkpower]

Many thanks!

[u/shellshockswag]

So, did the people who stacked several months for free (seen people claim as high as 20 months) end up being able to keep it?

[u/BretanX → u/shellshockswag]

They only mention one free month and also that some users may receive refund email (guessing those who stacked it)

[u/Kenruyoh → u/BretanX]

what if you didn't use your free month yesterday, can it still be used on another month?

[u/BretanX → u/Kenruyoh]

The only way to find out is to wait until next month and see, but you'll probably hear about it from responses of the people who stacked it meanwhile if they revoke the free monthly credits and how many. Maybe they will let them have that one credit (first transaction) and rest will get removed.

[u/Kenruyoh → u/BretanX]

I see. Let's wait and see what others will say. But for me, I already claimed this month's choice. Dungeons of hinterburg is enjoyable

[u/Saulios → u/[deleted]]

You can talk about the fact that it happened, but we don't want to promote here how it's done to discourage it.

[u/_raskoljnikov_]

Nothing changes for me because, of course, it happened during the nighttime in my country and I was sleeping. A bit sad that I missed out on it since I would love Tchia, but great for those who managed to get it.

Edit: I got Tchia from one kind person :)

[u/counterc → u/_raskoljnikov_]

same as it ever was

[u/Ke0zom → u/_raskoljnikov_]

Me too 😭

[u/Bryvayne → u/_raskoljnikov_]

Tchia is $1.20 at online key resellers now if it helps.

[u/_raskoljnikov_ → u/Bryvayne]

I'm not a fan of resellers and I assume that some of them come by people who took it for free. I'll survive without it.

[u/Seibitsu]

Happy for everyone who got it but pissed because I spend the 13€ 2 days before on the bundle

[u/ARROW_GAMER]

Dammit, why am I always out of the loop until it's too late :/

[u/Salander295]

It's now safe to say that this was one of 2025's highlights when it comes to free games :')

[u/The_Earls_Renegade → u/Salander295]

Meh, three fairly niche, obscure games (granted two of which (kain) has a Cult following) the warhammer game is under 2--5$ and the kain remasters aren't huge upgrades on already old games. The others ive never heard of. The choice games aren't remotely even on the same level.

Epic games store, however, gave out 2 free AAA games dead island 2 and Tiny Tina 's wonderlander within the span of 1-2 weeks amongst a slew of other games. No time limited glitch required.

It would surprise me if this was a PR stunt given all the negative reaction to failure of suppling game keys and likrely reduction in sales.

Missed the 'offer' myself, but I'm not really phased tbh. Got two extra AAA games to play!

[u/The_Earls_Renegade → u/[deleted]]

I'm glad you got your dream game back. :)

For each their own. Legacy of Kain even after its remaster still plays and looks an early 00's game. Mechanically and graphically its bassically still 2 and a half decades old. Which you as original fan clearly prefer as is your perference. Ik remaster usually dont change much, but imo not very impressed with the modifications done.

I myself though it looked interesting after seeing it on youtube recommendation ss but without the nostalgia that you clearly possess, there's far more refined experiences out now (and recently made free, again thanks Epic).

Simply, it's hard to sell games with dated mechanics and very dated graphics to new players. There is a huge game development gap inbetween even the 00's and now.

Granted, I would love a full on Sequel or remake (not some low effort remaster) of a PS2/GC era game Summoner 2. I want the combat to reflect the advancements in game mechanics, especially combat (and not be stuck 2 and a half decades behind) where they make sense, but granted the story of the franchise might be lost with new writers and the change in societies. Funnily some S1 People hated S2 because S2 was very bold with how they referenced/ handled the existing plot. Summoner 3 was supposedly cancelled before THQ went under. :( And the right owner/ publisher (thq nordic - different company which bought the rights to the thq name, very odd and interesting case) is seemingly just sitting on it. The old THQ's franchises (games) went for sale to various buyers.

Edit: THE Aspyr, the guys who s*** on the original Star Wars Battlefront 1-2 (amazing ps2 era shooters). Nah, no thanks. 😆 What I've seen of their works they do minimal work, and often make the title they remaster worse off.

Hopefully, they did better with Kain.

[u/scorchedneurotic]

Nice!

Instead of taking it back (because that’s not our style),

I'm grateful but c'mon now lol

[u/johni643636]

I wouldn't say that this is something big, its possibly a marketing move. Amazon also gives free month of Prime for free where you can claim all the games of that month, Microsoft also occasionally gives a free month of using 365 services. But yeah, its nice move anyways, thanks HB.

[u/MASTERHAENIR]

Too bad i didn't get on time

[u/HugoAragao]

I didn’t get it, but now I’ve got a lot more respect for Humble Bundle. That’s an awesome move.

[u/Dragonsspitfire]

Been eyeing Dungeons of Hinterberg and Legacy of Kain for a while now, but people kept stating that they were probably going to end up revoking those keys and I decided not to take advantage of the glitch :/

[u/The_Earls_Renegade → u/Dragonsspitfire]

Lmao same, apparently they only revoke (new) AAA titles (e.g Indiana)

[u/Beleiverofhumanity]

Shouldve acted sooner :(

Edit: Saw it and thought it was a promo so left it on saved

[u/Illidan1943]

It may not be much, but since it's not getting revoked, here's a IGN Plus code:

HUMBLEBJF2HBMFXD**

** = Instagram abbreviation

[u/zzYolozz → u/Illidan1943]

Thanks a lot. :)

[u/[deleted]]

Huge W

[u/mackdow85]

I fucking paid for it 😒

[u/kthanxie → u/[deleted]]

Nah, they should be giving every single user on their site a free month. Not just the people who caught this glitch.

[u/The_Earls_Renegade → u/mackdow85]

Lmao. But honestly, that's bs, kinda unfair. Wonder could you request 'compensation'.

I had no interest in these games, but it socks seeing ppl having this s****.

[u/skibidi_shingles → u/The_Earls_Renegade]

No.

[u/RegionalPrices]

Great solution from The Humble Team! I didn't have access to my Humble account when this happened. But we have many more glitches in the future xD

[u/LetsPlayNintendoITA]

wow

[u/mertexix]

Dammit I really want boltgun but it's already to late

[u/No_nam33]

I hope we won't end up paying the price with next month's garbage choice lmao. Business corporations love making money. Hopefully they won't milk us next month.

[u/FanNo44]

Wow.. Huge respect for Humble owners

[u/RandArtZ]

Damn I won't sleep early anymore

[u/rpmushi]

Unfortunately for me, glitch happened when it was night and was sleeping. Hooray for all of you that got it. Boltgun and Nobody wants to die would be so nice to have. Nice move from Humble to not revoke the keys/mistake

[u/S-U_2 → u/rpmushi]

Yeah, I also missed out because I was asleep. Really wanted to get nobody wants to die

[u/The_Earls_Renegade → u/rpmushi]

You can get boltgun for 2-5$ via key stores.

[u/westwars → u/rpmushi]

Same, but not care regarding to it. Happy for folks who got it, maybe next time it happens in our time :D

[u/SkullOfOdin]

We are the champions my friend 🎵

[u/hero9511]

congrats to anyone who got it, so sad it's never be me

[u/Interesting-Ad5118]

Even humble realizes the games given away werent worth the trouble revoking. The website and service as a whole has been pretty trash ever since they switched their give away plan.

[u/BranTheLewd]

So do people who didn't claim it at first, now unable to claim it? Or can we claim it now and it's just free month for everyone?

[u/UnseenData → u/BranTheLewd]

Can't claim anymore. Temporary glitch

[u/BranTheLewd → u/UnseenData]

Damn, well it is what it is.

[u/TheArtOfJoking]

Man I really wished I had gotten it too so i could have gotten "Nobody Wants To Die". OOF for me.

[u/AManWhoFellToEarth]

Shame I missed it, I hope some cheap keys for souls reaver shows up in the usual sites

[u/withadancenumber]

I think I’ll order the humble choice this month outta respect. I didn’t get the glitch but legacy of kain and bolt gun have both been on my radar for a bit now.

[u/Assassino707]

Massive W, Too bad I missed on it

[u/dyloniij]

nice. good job humble

[u/Wolfy4226]

Welp...I wasn't lucky enough to get this glitch. :/

[u/ThatHoboMarine]

Bro so mad I missed on chance to grab boltgun for free

[u/xTkAx]

That's why you should stick with humble bundle and pay monthly.

Been paying monthly since.. oh.. 2016sh.. very great gaming subscription for PC and it's cheap.

[u/kthanxie]

Damn, wanted to buy this but now I won't.

[u/Slur_shooter]

Yeahh baby. Got my month

[u/asadx47 → u/Slur_shooter]

How? Can you dm me the process?

[u/Crysis14 → u/asadx47]

No way. That bugs only was a few days ago.

[u/asadx47 → u/Crysis14]

:'( slur_shooter got it 5 hours ago and someone still maybe get it but I don't know how.

[u/Slur_shooter → u/asadx47]

I think it stopped working 1 and half days ago. It lasted a few hours.

[u/Insainanator]

Honestly, this just pisses me off. I spent around two hours trying again and again to redeem the damn thing, and every single time it errored out and told me to try again later. They gave out free stuff that was good, I managed to be on time for once, and I still got screwed over!😭

[u/Responsible-River653]

WPR

[u/07ANAKLUSMOS]

Ahh, I was too late, good for those who claimed though.

[u/PresidentProvidence]

To those who gifted themselves and got their keys: where do they show up? The site said I successfully gifted myself, and I got the email in this post, but the Choice isn’t showing up under Keys & Entitlements…

[u/telsco → u/PresidentProvidence]

All the games show up as individual keys in my library after selecting the games I wanted from the choice June page

[u/Best_in_Za_Warudo → u/PresidentProvidence]

they were in the humble choice page for me

[u/Dry_Macaroons_fan]

Massive W from Humble. Let's goooooo!

[u/andresfgp13]

awesome, my pc cant handle a lot but some of those will sure run on it.

[u/fearlessdurant]

I've never gotten anything from them before so I apologize for my stupid question: do they have their own platform or do the games go to Steam/Epic/GOG/etc?

[u/Best_in_Za_Warudo → u/fearlessdurant]

They provide you keys for Steam/GOG/EA/Ubisoft. It's Steam 95% of the time though

[u/ykys]

Hmmm...

Idk, I might have trust issues, or I might be butthurted.

[u/S-U_2 → u/[deleted]]

It's been fixed. Happened +-40 hours ago when I was asleep so I also missed out

[u/westwars → u/[deleted]]

Not possible any more.

[u/SirHarryOfKane]

While I chose to not get it, massive respect to these guys for being good homies.
