It's me. I'm also annoyed that I can't just add the game to steam, because I'm definitely going to forget about it.

Its not bitching so much as we have just gotten used to being able to mark it and just download and play it later when we have time. Humble can sometimes be time limited. There are a couple games they gave out that I didn't get in time and cannot access now.
It just says "The key for this product has expired".

FYI according to Twitter no one has been able to redeem there Morrowind code all day. If I were a more cynical man I might say this was just a gambit to get people to sign up for their launcher to pad their numbers.

Bethesda. Bethesda never changes.

I got mine done, but once the Americans woke up it does look like the website got absolutely loving battered. Also this is totally to get people to sign up for their launcher, that's what giveaways like this are for.

Of course it's a ploy to get people to sign up for their launcher, they would rather however much money Valve got from Skyrim went to them for Elder Scrolls 6. It's why Epic has been doing free games. The difference is that you can actually download the games from Epic.

I can, with 100% certainty, state that I never entered any payment info into the Uplay client and it let me add it to my library from there without any hassle. It's located in the Free games part of your library, from where you can bind it to your normal library.

You can also just open Uplay and click the big Assassin's Creed Unity banner and not have to input any personal info.

I played AC Unity on PS4 and it was the only PS4 game I've ever played that didn't support rest mode. The application would close if you put the PS4 in rest mode

I had to create a support ticket because of this, and it took days for them to even respond with an email. I realized then I don't give a poo poo and didn't even read it. Uplay is irredeemable trash.

yeah similar to most of their giveaways. it's just an email though so if you are concerned about it simply use a burner. you get steam keys out of it so you don't have to do any weird data linking.

You don't need Humble Monthly, just a regular old Humble bundle account. It's offered as a direct download, not a Steam key.
Click the one that says FREE UNTIL 5/3.
