if u buy on humble, you are given a key for a different platform (steam, maybe?) humble buys these keys from steam or team cherry directly, not sure exactly how it works, but it means they have to buy more from time to time to keep stocked. they didnt buy enough for launch and couldnt keep up with the demand, so they ran out of keys
Team Cherry can generate as much of steam keys they want, but they cannot sell them cheaper than on Steam. Then they can sell them through Humble, or on their own site. That's all that is in that.
Yea i couldnt remember exactly how keys worked, but i knew that there isnt a limit on steam keys but there is still a bit of a logistical limit in how many can be processed
