Title: Linking my Humble account to other gaming plattform/sites ?
mrazster 25 Aug 2021
I have never used the Humble store before.
But I'm about to. I noticed in the settings that I can link my humbleaccount to other stores/platforms e.t.c.
My question is, what exactly am I gaining by doing this ?
Shared cd-key/able to use certain games on multiple ?

Depends on the store. Linking your Steam account won't do much at all. Don't think it matters for GOG either. I think you need to link your battle.net account to redeem anything you bought for it though. Same may be the case for Epic since I've never seen a key for that, but that is a guess. No clue about others though.

Linking your Steam account on GOG has been known to add games you own on Steam to your GOG library. IDK if that’s still going.
