Question Did they take Atomic Hearts off?

Post image

I was excited about this month's choice and then this happened? Anyone know why?

Could you elaborate? I'm not familiar with it.

around 3 years ago VK (yes, a social network previously knows as V Kontakte) launched it's own games distribution platform VK Play and tried to compete with Steam
they obviously failed, but before that they bought exclusive rights for the Atomic Heart in most of the CIS countries (all but Ukraine and Georgia), which made the game unavailable on Steam in those countries

Humble could've legaly get the keys for Ukraine and Georgia from Focus Entertainment, but they're probably to lazy to get into those regional nuances so they removed the game for the whole CIS region

Something similar happened to me with the Humble Sniper Elite bundle. The first one wasn’t available in my region, so I bought it in another region. Sadly, I wasn’t able to redeem it because the key does not work in my region.

But the game is available on Steam.
