Buying this?
Note, if you pre-order for $1.50 now, you can upgrade to the full subscription for an additional $19.50 later, as long as you do it before the bundle ends. So that way you won't feel as rushed.
Also, this increasing price pre-sale system only applies to this anniversary bundle. Their wording is poor, but cyanic clarified in chat that regular Be Mines will still have the traditional static pre-order and hints system.

Nice.
I'm most definitely waiting for more reveals. Don't want to be pessimistic, but in all truth, the last BeMine I bought was 15 in 2014 and I'm not even sure why (maybe some wrong guess); SkyBoats may be a fine game, however, definitely not my cuppa.

Yeah, I'd gladly pay the difference if I could use my high value coin. As it is, I doubt there's ever going to be a game bundle worth spending it on. A long time ago there was a rumor there would be a way to break coins up, but it has yet to manifest.

We are releasing products each day. ENDS IN 15d23h23m
17+ games for $1.5?
Groupees, please don't do strange moves.

And the coin will be the same pool, but IIRC for older bundles, adding more into the pool didn't have too much of an effect to the value.
Depends how many people buy. I can run a simulation.
There are over 17K Jonny coins issued.
After a bit of calculation, you're seeing about a reduction of $4 in value.
That's providing almost 3000 purchases of the high tier, so actual reduction will be less than that.
Frankly I don't understand how those weird coins work at all... I got a Jonny Coin from the $21 subscription, all I hope is I can use it as a $3 coupon at some point in the future...

Ouch. Wasn't aware of that history, I'm pretty new to those bundle sites... Well it's too late for me now, let's just see how the bundles go :s

I recall no promise that they would only increase. They stated that the value was tied to the number of Coins in circulation of that type. I also do not remember them promising to never release more of a particular type. It would be great if you could give us a screen shot of that so we could take it to the boss.

There is a picture just click the top of the chatroom: "cyanic explains how this bundle works"

I am confused. If I pay $1 get 2 games. Will I get the 3rd game which release at the date of $1.25?
Comment has been collapsed.
You go completely blind - with the expection of one game and its soundtrack - into the bundle, pay 1.50$ atm and get the whole bundle for this price.
Or you wait, see whats added, decide if you want to buy and pay more $$$ for the whole bundle.
The drawing says dates and prices are for illustration only if thats what confuses you.

Unless you're a shovelware fanatic, your money would probably be better spent subscribing to Humble Monthly for a couple of months.
Pathetic that the coins can't be used. The "$18.36" Johnny Antimatter coin has all the practical purpose of a used johnny.

They get revealed one by one, so when there stops being items added to the bundle, that's the entire bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
There won't be any "hints" for the BMA. One item is revealed each day until there is nothing left to reveal. As each item is revealed, the price goes up a bit. Buy now, or wait until you see something you definitely want and then buy. That's it.

New game added. It's underwhelming.

Maybe they want to increase the price before reveal any good games. (I hope so.)

So far a very unappealing bundle. Nearly $3 for that? Give me a break.

I kind of figured this "reveal a new product daily as the pre-order price rises" wouldn't work.
God love Groupees but they are really dropping ALL the balls lately. They seem to be spamming Greenlight Bundles as fast as they can before the service is shut down, the Year Subscription thing reeked of desperation, and the quality of their bundles has gone downhill fast.
The problem here is they can't front load a daily reveal with Steam games and "blow their wad" as it were or else no one would wait and maybe buy it before it just officially goes live. But seeing a few days of "Here is a comic you never heard of and a CD from a band you never heard of" aren't really the best advertisements either and I fully say that as a member of a band no one has heard of that has been in a Be Mine bundle.
If they did something like this for that bundle my band was in and my band's CD was the daily reveal, even I would be kind of annoyed at the non-announcement that would be.

so up to now: 5 games, 3 albums, 2 comics. (don't think any of the games were bundled before and definitely none of the albums)

Seriously, Groupees has lost any kind of credibility to me a long while ago. This just proves my point (nothing new yesterday, too). I cannot for the life of me understand how anybody can be so stupid to throw $21 their way for the lighthearted promise of 10 Be Mine bundles in a year, when all they did lately was shelling out crap and breaking promises.

Q: Can this be bought with Groupees coins?
A: No (oh, the irony)
Q: How many Be Mine bundles will be released this year?
A: There will be a minimum of 10 Be Mine Bundles (excluding 2018's BMA)
Q: Which period is covered by this subscription, does it include the latest Be Mine bundle recently released?

Q: What will happen to the previous Antimatter Jonny coins? Will they keep the price or will they be lowered to fit the $3 dollar price?
A: cyanic (Groupees HQ):
Q: What's with the "Core Bundle" wording? (are we looking at a BM29 situation, where arbitrarily more stuff might be added on top that we then don't get?)
