Boom or Bust?
Looked good enough, so purchased.
I have one question though: right below the Deadlink key, there's a notice stating "The redemption deadline is April 11, 2026 at 11:59:59 PM PDT. You have 379 days left!". At first I believed it meant the key would get revoked at that date, but after some checks I discovered that the "Back with a Vengeance" bundle from March, 2024 had the same game, with the same notice, but apparently those keys are still good (judging by the absence of notices on barter / reports of duplicate keys / prices of the game on keyshops)? On the page of the 2024 bundle I purchased, the Deadlink key is now no more visible, so I believe redemption referred to the act of claiming the key on the site?
Anyone has more insight about this?

Yes, it usually means you need to claim the key before then, else the button will be greyed out. You should claim it asap anyway, and copy to your private spreadsheet if you're not going to use it right away. Sure, sometimes devs/publishers revoke unused keys from old bundles but it's rare and scummy, and humble itself doesn't do that, or at least it never happened to me (since 2010).

I see, thank you very much for the clarification. :) I know about some keys sold in Humble Bundles that have revoked, such as Jack Move and several Bethesda ones, but I wasn't clear on this one. At any rate I always claim and save keys when buying them, except on Fanatical (which seems to be the most trustable site on the whole)

Unused keys I got in bundles have been deactivated or whatever it's called, such as Black Book, which HB credited me $5 for.

Like boomer shooters and like the selection but not at that price.

Worse as said it is a re-bundle with only 2 new shooters and one tier. Good deal though for buyers who didn't get previous boomer bundles.

I love Boomer Shooters but this one doesn't have any game that interest me unlike the other past ones

Was waiting a year for this?
All these games have been bundled before and there's a ton they could of used.

Yup. There's been so many freakin' boomer shooters released since the last bundle. I was genuinely surprised/disappointed when I saw it.

I think they should have called this the boom boom bundle, because it's rebundle poop. (Good games, bad effort on HBs part).

I own most of the games - some from previous boomershooter packs from HB. So I'll have to skip this one. Sadly because I was waiting for this one.

Only own Deadlink and have 2 wishlisted games. Maybe.

Unfortunately, as an avid boomer shooter fan, this one doesn't pique my interest besides Serious Sam. I already own 4/7 from previous similar bundles.

Bad prices, bad bundles, bad support... Humble bundle is worsening by the minute.

Deadlink May have a redemption deadline of April 11, 2026. (source - ArsVidya)
WHAT THE ACTUAL FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF?
Deadlink was also featured in two past Humble bundles (three if you count the Encore bundle):
Best of Boomer Shooters: Bigger and Boomier
Back with a Vengeance: The Best of Boomer Shooters
Both have now a red bold warning for Deadlink:
The redemption deadline was March 15, 2025 at 6:00:00 PM PDT.
I've lost the key for the Back with a Vengeance: The Best of Boomer Shooters Bundle.
Was this warning there from the beginning? I don’t see Lilly mentioning anything about it in any of her bundle threads, which is odd. Also, both keys expiring on the same date (March 15, 2025), despite the bundles being sold a year apart, doesn’t make sense.

In the past they also sent a reminder about keys expiring soon, at least it was the case for some monthly/choice bundles, maybe check if you got something (probably not), and complain to the support.
I have the same note on my keys page at hb, but I have already redeemed the key for my account so didn't lose it. Since the rectangle is green, maybe you also claimed the key and copied it somewhere? I would be especially scummy of them to hide the revealed key like that, but I wouldn't be particularly surprised.

Hey, thanks for the tip about the green thing! It seems that starting the habit to reveal and store my keys a while back paid off. You're right, I did reveal that particular Steam key, which makes it even more stupid to hide (as you said) it from me 🙄

Wow, They really did retroactively expire them. I did not get an email or anything and I try to keep track of these expiration dates in my thread.

This is a new low for Humble.

The poll alone is worth more than the bundle.
Thanks for the laugh and for the thread Formidolosus
