Humble Bundle now connects to your Steam account to register your game keys for you. This is much simpler, but it means you can't share the keys easily any more :(

If you try to register a game you already have, it says
Quote:
Your Steam account already owns this game
and at the bottom of the page is
Quote:
Steam will not provide extra giftable copies of games you already own.
All purchases are for your personal use only.


However, I think you can still email the game to someone via Humble Bundle - does anyone want Batman: Arkham City GOTY on Steam to try it out?

I think you just click the gift box next to the key and give the email address of someone, and then they get sent a key.
You could always give an alias email of your own and see what turns up?

They changed it a while back but it does now allow gifting of any games you already have - the few extras I had were in the 'free' stuff thread in the members forum and i think SilentElk grabbed one of the games I put up ?

I certainly did. It sent me a link to the Humble Bundle site, then sent me a Steam code via email.

Yeah I was tempted until I saw the little 'U' logo underneath. Fuck that.
