JMich: Are they selling 10 games or 16? Simple question, simple answer. There are 10 games and 16 keys. I (and HB) claim they sell 10 games, you claim they sell 16.
Yes very simple. 10 games, 16 keys to 16 licenses.

JMich: So buying Grand Theft Auto 3 from Steam means you buy 2 games?
No, see above.

JMich: What about The Witcher 2 on Steam? You also get a GOG key for it. Do you find it moral to keep the Steam version for yourself and give away the GOG version to someone else?
Dunno, have to think about that, what is morality, you mean like bible stuff? Help they neighbor as thyself, so I am guessing it would be moral.

Kicking out the 80-year old tenant that can't pay the rent is legal, but is not moral. Letting her stay in the house is moral, but not legal. I use the term moral to ask if you feel something is right, not if something is legal.

So the same is true for games that come in Windows, Mac and Linux varieties? So since Nightsky from Humble Bundle with Android 5 came for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, and I'm not going to use Mac and/or Linux, I should give the linux binary away? It is 1 game with 4 licenses, one per platform.

You seem to be fine with giving away those copies. I'm not. That is not a question of legality, but a question of morality. I've given my reasons why I don't feel it's ok to give those copies away, if you think it's ok to share those copies, your call.

Then I think it is moral, what now, how does this matter.

4 licenses, then sure why not.

Why don't you think its ok? If you buy some stuff, can't use half of it you think it is wrong to give the rest to your friends and force them to buy all of it again? Gotta say that is pretty weird morality you have.

You didn't actually give reasons, you just asked me lots of questions and keep insisting it is morally wrong.

So, do you want the Mac version of Fallout I have on GOG? I will have to upload the .dmg somewhere so I can send it to you, but I'm only giving away a license I wouldn't use. Totally fine according to what you've said. How about the German version of System Shock 2? I won't play any game in German, so why shouldn't I give the extra file away, it is an extra license and I'm free to give it to someone else (according to you).

jamotide: You didn't actually give reasons, you just asked me lots of questions and keep insisting it is morally wrong.
Reasons are that delivery methods are not extra licenses, just a convenience. You claim delivery methods and/or platforms are extra licenses. I believe that buying 1 copy of the game then splitting said copy is immoral, and possibly illegal.
Getting tired of your questions. You can believe what you want, in reality it is morally and legally ok to do it. And humble knows this as well, or they would not just "wish" people wouldn't do it.

jamotide: in reality it is morally and legally ok to do it.
Morally, it depends on the person, so subjective, not objective.
Legally, you claimed that all lawyers will argue with each other, I claimed they would say distribution methods are not licenses, so you can't legally split distribution methods.

Feel free to act as you like, just don't claim your beliefs are facts.

Excatly. But I am confused, you're the one who brought up morality.

And I told you it's not just distribution methods. Glad we cleared that up.

I don't and I am not the one spamming giveaway threads with my "facts".

Where did you say that?
Thanks cannard, anyway.
