Well really... it would have been stupid not to, even if local law said it couldn't. As Victor Lucas of the Electric Playground has stated, no sane event committee wants their event to be remembered for reigniting a viral pandemic.
I signed up to HB, found no link to newsletter, then searched 'humble bundle newsletter' and only that got me to the page. I've signed up to the newsletter, but no link or indication that I'm getting a free game.
Things like this should hopefully make people seriously consider not espousing the "Y U no make fastur" attitude when it comes to AAA game development.
This would most certainly NOT be the first time that the <company/companies> responsible for the Grand Theft Auto franchise has outright and bald-faced lied about a portion of the modding community "deliberately" trying to ruin their product.
