    We’ve also built systems that fix long-standing issues in the bundle space, most notably The Digiphile Exchange, which ensures games reach real players instead of sitting unused. Players can trade in keys for games they already own and receive credit toward other titles featured in our collections.

    Interesting approach. I used to trade keys on barter.gg, and while I think I still like Fanatical's pick what you want system best, this seems better than key trading. Given the credit is for a reasonable amount.

      I’ve been participating in the Humble Bundle in some way, shape or form for pretty much its entire existence.

      At one point, I had close to 80 unused keys, and I ended up giving most of them to my friends and acquaintances just to get rid of them. It took months to find anyone that wanted them.

      Even giving away that many license keys, I still have somewhere in the hundreds of titles on Steam that I’ve gotten from various bundles where I’ve activated the key, but never touched the game. Maybe this would fix that going forward.

        I went back to find old unused keys when I started barter and it is wild how much HB has changed since. I can get direct downloads of what I bought way back at the start, soundtracks included. Some of these games have transformed quite a bit with updates. I'd hardly even call the HB of today Humble compared to its start.

        But yeah my friends rarely seem interested in my excess keys too, off-loading them can be a chore. I've been saving them up for our give-away event.

    Very cool. As a frequent bundle buyer, I love this concept.

    I just bought their inaugural bundle, exchanged the keys that I already owned, and was able to get Backpack Hero.

    I had initially resolved myself to not buying any new games during Backlog Burner month, but I wasn't expecting the launch of a whole new bundle platform...
