Will you be subscribing for the February Bundle?
russian/indian price, like always. https://steamdb.info/app/214490/ it was $4 yesterday.

I don't understand why it's bundled... I thought there was some rule about bundle status being applied to games that have a 95% discount or whatever. You're paying $12 to get Alien: Isolation, which definitely isn't a 95% discount... or, does this have something to do with Russians and the winter sale?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you are paying $12 for AI AND 6 games ... which we don't know yet and might add up so that is is 95% or more of the total retail value of the bundle which would mean .. the bundle is valued at $240 or more.
but I don't understand it either .. the bundled date is set to January 1st, the day when the hint for February's Bundle became official >< so i'm not sure what the logic behind it is. We don't know what games are in it yet :/

Why are people commenting about $12 as if it's only for one game?!
Have people not noticed that the MSRP for this game is $50? That means that 95% off would be $2.50.
It's $12 for 7 games, that means that the average price will be around $1.72 per game, so it's bundled. Really simple.
Even if there are only 6 games, it would still be bundled ($2.00). In fact, if there are only 5 games, it's still bundled ($2.40).
They marked it as bundled now, so that folks don't get their feelings hurt by doing it retroactively.

no, it's not that simple. they don't calculate that way, and for a good reason. Alien Isolation is most likely the "star" of this bundle. so all the other games in it are most likely worth less. you can't just take AI as 1/7th of the bundle. that's not accurate. my guess is that AI is more like 1/2 of the bundle. so what they do is to take the sum of all participating games and see if the bundle as a whole needs to be bundled.

so if i sign up for february when should i cancel the sub if i dont want to they charge me for march?
Comment has been collapsed.
i believe they charge 7 days in advance. SO, i would cancel your sub maybe 1-2 weeks before the March one goes live. ... which is the first friday of the month .. soo ... before feb 27th

I finally got around to unsubscribing from this, been burnt too many times hoping "maybe next bundle will be worth it" the way things were going unless the bundle had GTA5 or Fallout 4 or some other big named title. It would've been better for me to save my money the past few months and just buy the game outright.
Comment has been collapsed.
how you can hope to have this title ... gta 5 or fallout 4 is just impossible
Comment has been collapsed.
lol I don't know if I explained myself properly, my bad, what I meant is that the games that were bundled are not games that I enjoy thus being not worth it for me cost wise.
As the way things were going, every week I feel like I'm losing out more then I'm gaining getting these bundles, and now no game that comes in the bundle besides something like gta5 or fallout 4 would make the bundle worth it to me personally (including what I lose from previous months).
As you say though its close to impossible for a game like that to be bundled, so I unsubscribed. :)
Other people though may highly enjoy the games being bundled so for them it may be very worth it. Me, I'd rather use the money to purchase the games I want myself.

"With Early Unlock, everybody can have a peek at the next bundle!"
does that mean, we will get some hints?
anyway, seems that there weren't many buys of Monthly if they've changed the rules (actually, when I have unsubscribed after 1st bundle, I wrote about this "early game" that old subscribers should also receive it ... even if it is the same)
Comment has been collapsed.
I wouldn't jump the gun and expect AI + 6 games.
Received a response today from my ticket and it says.
Ai + around 5 games.
Three other things I got from the response are.
So for the people on the fence expect Ai + 5 and be happy if it turns out to be AI + 6 (unlikely imo)
Comment has been collapsed.
They really need to sort out how they present this. They have a pretty webpage but they evidently need to spell it out for some people.
I was not expecting another 6 games since this is clearly getting one early, but on the page they do show Alien: Isolation and six question marks.
I would've expected six each month when that has been past performance (I don't mind # of games but they have established that expectation).
Comment has been collapsed.
thanks. I see from the bottom of the page, 6 boxes with 1 of them as AI. so AI + 5 is right
Comment has been collapsed.
can i subscribe this month now and cancel 5m later or something like that to not pay for the march bundle and still recive the feb bundle?
Comment has been collapsed.
nope, you'd have to cancel after you receive the bundle I believe.
Comment has been collapsed.
You don't have to worry about the march bundle though. HB charges you like 1 week before the bundle comes so you can cancel any day before that if you're inclined to do so.
Comment has been collapsed.
i was missreading that part that's why i got that supit doubt :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, you can cancel the subscription right after you pay for the February Monthly bundle. I did it myself. Asked support how it worked and they said I'd still receive the Feb. bundle. And I have it there under my purchases ;) So no worries. Can always wait until after the bundle gets out though, if you prefer. Cheers

Just looked at the bottom of the Humble Monthly page and seen that one of the question mark boxes has been taken over by Alien Isolation. So there is Alien Isolation and 5 mystery boxes meaning A:I is counted towards the 6 games a month. Hope this helps!

well, it's not cool. but you are taking my words too literally.
it's an expression. like oh, great information to add. :/ great knowledge. idk.

eh, then well, i guess we use the term in different ways. I could have said damn but I used cool instead because it's interesting to me how things revealed themselves ><

they never wrote alien + 6 games anywhere so from legal point of view it would be hard to prove them any false advertising. what graphics they put and how you decide to interpret it as long as it's not stated or confirmed by them anywhere is not a false advertising.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not defending them, nor saying they're fair and square ;) I do believe it was a shitty move to make and if Humble continue with such actions it will come and bite them in the arse in future. I just pointed out that while we can be angry on them about that it does not legaly fall under false advertising.
Similar example - remember when Blink Bundle had blackened contours of big AAA game characters in their upcoming bundle advertisement, only to ever offer niche indie games and never delivered a single of the games hinted in this advertisement/logo? Was it a shady/dodgy thing to do? Yes. But as they never specifically promised for example "We will feature Borderlands in our bundle" you could not call it a false advertisement.
Comment has been collapsed.
add imaginary "" symbols to it, or even better try to think about a context I'm posting this example.
If you still don't understand - their "advertisement" was not really an advertisement same as Humble did not adrertive anything. They never promised anything so you cannot tell about false/misleading advertising. They both posted a picture - Humble at down of the page, PlayBlink at top of the page (hence "logo"), picture that could be misleading as it could be easilly interpret wrong - but the word that is important here is interpret - as you interpret the picture and what it does mean, you cannot then argue over being falsely advertised to - you misinterpret, make a purchase decision based on your misinterpretation, but from the legal standpoint (and I mentioned I'm talking on legal standpoint/definition multiple times) it is not false/misleading advertising, because company didn't give you false data about the product, you jumped to false conclusion about the product yourself.

I got the "Humble Monthly Payment Success" e-mail just 20 minutes ago. They also sent the bundle link, and Alien Isolation is already there to redeem/gift. Too bad I am a bit fed up with HB and their unpredictable region locking policy. Is there a way to tell what is locked?
Comment has been collapsed.
Comment has been collapsed.
I really don't understand this way of thinking. So you got a 50 dollar game for 12 dollars and the guaranty to receive even more games for your money - supposedly high quality games just as in the last HB monthlys - and you still find reason to complain you're not getting enough??
Comment has been collapsed.
I complain about their shitty move 7 days before bundle they remembered to put Alien Isolation in one of those 6 boxes , they should have done that right at start but now it just looks like really bad advertising. As for me I got humble monthly mainly for Alien Isolation because it was alone worth those 12$ . But seeing how they change things in last minute I have a feeling remaining 5 games might be some shitty ones :<
Comment has been collapsed.
I wouldn't call it a "shitty" move and I'm not sure how efficient their communication was since I am not closely following this monthly business, but it certainly should have been clear whether it was Alien Isolation + 6 games or 6 games including AI. The latter is still a great deal, of course, but that's not the point.

Did anyone see a mention about the fact that going forward, you won't need to subscribe anymore, but can just make one-time payments for the bundle?
Comment has been collapsed.
It should be automatic and written on checkout (https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly/checkout). Verify you're connected and the coupon appears in your account (https://www.humblebundle.com/home/coupons).
Comment has been collapsed.
This bundle will contain AI and 6 5 unknown games.
Wait, what?
Comment has been collapsed.
look at the boxes at the bottom of the page ... there are 6 games in this bundle and 5 left to be revealed.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I didn't see the line through the six.... So I just saw 6 5 games and was confused.... I knew it wasn't 65 games but I didn't understand cause the strike through on one character was hard to see for a character that already has something going across the center...
Whatever I'm old :-)

so the Alien Isolation will be the 'Hot Title'? and will be there a highly recommended game, 2 indie and 2 hidden gems?
Comment has been collapsed.
Because i don't know too much about this monthly bundle thing and here are some smart people :)
as i know will be only 1 hot title in each bundle, and i guess alien isolation is a hot title so there wont be 1 more good stuff

Why do i feel hyped about this even though i didnt subscribe?
I guess i have Fear of Missing Out xD. If only there's gifting option so i can buy it from a seller (i dont have credit card)

I get that too. But, then, I trade a lot. And I know that the moment the Bundle drops five new games are going to suddenly become plentiful on the trade market.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, as long as you don't reveal or activate any of the games. If you've looked at any of the keys or activated anything, then no.

Really? Doesn't that come to no-risk purchasing (when the whole point of this is the risk)?

Well, it's not a guarantee, and you have to send a support ticket and wait awhile, but some people have been able to get refunds before.

a "brand new game" and a "@humble exclusive" in the same phrase? this is smelling drm-free.

imagine if they decide to come with all their bullshit together?
just one region lock key to unlock the other games? including titles of uplay, origin and drm-free?

I really feel like this "pretty short timeframe" game was made only for fill the blank spaces. if so, humble monthly bundle will die for steamgifts users. better stick with usual bundles and the usual humble negative bundle surprises.
