Sometime between last night and this morning, the guys running the Humble Indie Bundle 2 striked an agreement with both Steam and the newly released Desura to allow for bundle buyers to activate their games via either, or both of the two services.

Why would you want to? Well, for starters, it simply makes it easier on everybody. Steam and Desura get more traffic to their communities (which they love), you don’t have to save any emails in case you should want to download them again 6 months later, and the Humble Bundle guys don’t have to worry about supporting downloads for the foreseeable future. Everybody wins!

Now, there is a slight catch here. Neither Cortex Command, nor Revenge of the Titans is available on Steam yet, so should you decide to activate your games there you won’t be able to download either… yet. Both games are planned to be released onto Steam, at which point it should automatically activate for your account to.
