This bundle is only available in North America, for information.

I was a bit upset about it showing “not available in your area” (France) despite the bundle being advertised for everyone subscribed to the Humble newsletter. I saw other people from Australia, etc saying so too.

I contacted support about it, they said sorry but yes, confirmed it was exclusive to NA.

Not sure why “region-locked” e-books are a thing, and quite annoyed at officially receiving ads for offers I can’t get.

Definitely.

Funny how humble started, well, humble, as a small group of indie developers offering DRM-free games as pay-what-you-want to get visibility, at a time when that kind of bundles was a new idea.

Then they grew to selling DRM keys to AAA games like any other store, and now geographically limited book deals.
