In December 2024, Humble Bundle updated its terms of service, establishing a 3 year expiration date for all unclaimed game keys. They proceeded to retroactively apply this policy to past purchases, removing unredeemed keys bought 3 or more years prior from accounts. No form or reimbursment has been discussed at the time or writing.
