Indie Royale officially hit rock bottom, there is nothing that can't be worse than this bundle. Okay, maybe (nearly) everything Bundle Stars usually offer, but the IR disaster that has been going on for months now might finallly stop...

Indie Royale actually continues to redefine what rock bottom is. You think they've hit the bottom of the barrel, but alas they find a way to go deeper...
I wonder what happened, they used to have some not so great, but buyable bundles.
When I click to increase my order amount for, say, the PC and Android 7 bundle, a form shows up that's pretty much exactly like the initial order form, with all the different payment options. I assume they don't care if you use a different credit card or even an entirely different payment method.Does anyone know if I can increase my humble bundle order mount using a different credit card than the one I used originally?

This one seems pretty solid, aren't quite a few of these considered top in their genre?
Do you have a link for this?
Steam-only, no Steam keys, redeems directly to your Steam account via a link. Expect this for future Humble Bundles.

6$ tier:
Alien Breed: Impact
Alien Breed 2: Assault
Alien Breed 3: Descent
Worms Revolution Gold + All DLC
Note that you don't get keys, just click-to-redeem on Steam. Quite irritated, I was going to give a lot of them away.
These are still individual keys.
After you authorize Humble once, you just have to click once per game.
I assume they've done some economic calculations and have a better sense of this than I do so I'd love to hear what motivated this. In the mean time, the loss of friendly and community-spirit trading is a real strike against the spirit and MO of the HIB from day one, and for most of us part of a pattern of behaviour from the group getting bigger and becoming more of a business and less community-oriented.
Can't you technically give the key to someone else if you can access that person's Steam account or of that person has access to your Humble account? I mean, if that's true at least I can still give the 'keys' to family members or close friends.
Edit: Heck, maybe I'll just put all the extraneous bundle keys to an alt Steam account and use the family sharing feature on that account.
It's always been against the terms to give away or trade your 'spare' keys, regardless of the fact people where doing it anyways. So I don't really see how this is indicative of anything.
It's still perfectly possible to give away the entire bundle, but one can no longer give away individual games -- the bundle as a whole is tethered to the nominated Steam account as soon as you follow the redeem link on any one of the included titles.
But then why did they switch from one key per bundle in the early ones to one key per game in the latest?
Now we're apparently back to one key per bundle.
Nothing you've written contradicts my point that this isn't some sudden change. They've been trying to restrict keys to a single person for awhile by having a single key for all the games and a second key for the BTA games. They haven't been consistent in this but I imagine that's because it required Valve's cooperation which they couldn't consistently count on. Now they've figured out a way that doesn't require them to ask Valve to create special bundle keys just for them.
I'll be interested to see if other indie bundle sites follow. I wonder from Valves perspective how long they will give out unlimited steam keys with no restrictions to developers?
In fact I'm not really convinced this actually prevents arbitrageurs, since they'll just buy the bundle as a whole and resell for a profit using the gift function.
Second, the 4996 word long (I'm sure you've read it, of course!) terms page is modified on a semi-frequent basis, including 3 days ago, when they clarified the charity component of the service by adding a paragraph about it, without notifying anyone or asking users for consent to the change. Let's not pretend these are publicly posted rules.
Wouldn't something like this be able to challenged in court on the basis that since their Terms of Service is so hidden and updates without user consent, that people were never given the chance to reject the changes outright and leave the site? I know that every other big company that changes its Terms of Service informs users directly that they have done so and waits for users to agree to it.
