Will you buy this bundle and the Battletech Season Pass, like the #IGNlluminati want you to?
I'm pretty sure you can. Just go to your subscription page and at the very bottom of the page, click "manage my subscription". You have a button to pause there. It'll ask to confirm several times so keep clicking until you have a message that says "enjoy your month off" or something like that. I'm serious, they ask you 3 times if you're sure you want to pause!
And you get an email confirming. After the bundle is revealed, you'll get unpaused automatically.

You can pause any month, at any time prior to them charging you for the month (I'm not sure if that's a week before it releases, or when exactly it is, but should be roughly consistent from month to month). If you bought a set number of months, those count as credits, and are only redeemed if you get the bundle. So if you buy 6 months, you could get one month's bundle, pause for 5 months, and then get the next 5 months' worth of bundles.
Also, how are you enjoying Slay the Spire? On a scale of 1-10, would you agree that it's an 11? ;) I was interested in it, and had hopes that I might like it, but I was not prepared for just how good it is, and how absolutely captivating it is.

One thing I learned that has helped me immensely is to not build towards a build. You want to build towards a deck that can beat the encounters you'll be facing, and not towards any particular build.
In Act 1 it's getting direct damage to kill the elites - like Gremlin Nob - without taking too much damage. So I try to pick up some decent damage cards from early fights, and either upgrade one of them or a starting card that applies Vulnerable or Weak. After the elites it's about getting some AoE for Act 2 and some sort of scaling damage for Act 2 boss and onwards - Caltrops, Bronze Scales, Demon Form, Noxious Fumes, etc. If a card doesn't seem useful towards those goals (it doesn't provide me with more block, or AoE, or scaling damage, or debuffs), I skip. I won't build towards a particular build, just go with the cards that I get. So while Entrench is great with Barricade and Catalyst is great with Noxious Fumes, I won't pick one up until I get Barricade or Noxious Fumes because until that point it's basically a curse in your deck.

I actually think it's a smart move. The base game isn't that enticing since you know there's DLC and a Season Pass, and bundle shoppers are generally the same ones who will wait to get the Gold / Definitive / GotY / Complete Edition with the DLC included. But by bundling the DLC, it's effectively upgrading Battletech to a "Gold Edition". It's not quite the Mercenary Collection which includes the Season Pass, but including the best of the currently available expansions makes it a far more compelling offering.

Sonic Mania? SONIC MANIA?! HOW DID I MISS THIS TODAY?!

Epic's free games have been awesome, but I actually think this is a pretty great month - but it really depends on what you like.
I tried and loved Battletech during the previous free weekend, but wasn't sure about the bundle since it didn't include the DLC. Now that it includes Flashpoints, which is the most compelling DLC IMO, this makes it a pretty exciting bundle. And Sonic Mania seems pretty great, and practically everyone seems to love it.
So for me, they took a bundle I was interested in, made it better with the inclusion of DLC, and better again with the inclusion of a second great game.

I wanted to pause as I have battletech already (and liked this game), but dont have DLC's. Unfortunately it is not a sesson pass and they missing Urban Warfare dlc. Also dont have Sonic Mania (but not my cup of tea). Iy will be bad monthly for me but i am still tempted - will need to decide as less then week to autopay;)

Tier 3 was pretty expensive so i dont think that many people ended up buying it. For me it would propably be a reason to avoid the bundle but my girlfriend needs it so its tough to pass it especially considering they added an expensive dlc for battletech.

I was happy for Sonic Mania. It's been on my wishlist for some time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Battletech wasn't my thing but I waited to see if there will be an other early reveal. DLC's and a PC only game is a "no-buy this month" for me. If these are the most attractive games in the monthly... I already spent way too much this month between humble sales, bundles and fanatical so it is best like that.

Hmm. The DLC is cool, I'm a little on the fence about Battletech but it's probably something I mostly want. Sonic, however, is very much not my bag.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm disappointed with that new early unlock, as I've never been a fan of Sonic. As usual, even if the early unlocks aren't of any interest to me, I can't help but think that I might miss something I truly want. Also... since it's the October monthly, I'm wondering if there will be any horror games. It's gonna be the Halloween month after all, so that would be fitting. Eh. Really on the fence, should I unpause or not? Now would be a good time for HB to send me an email with a discount. That could make me bite.

For 12 bucks i am sure you will fine a few hours of enjoyable playtime no matter what games are in. At least thats the case for me.

You could try cancelling to see if they offer a discount that way.
Or you have several month sub with tokens, then that might not work.

Last time to pause / cancel your subscription if you want to skip this month.

You paused it before the autocharge date and as a result you weren't charged for this bundle.
We are now after the autocharge date, which means that you basically paused it for next month already (November Monthly).
Or in other words, no one automatically charges you for the current month after the autocharge date (you wouldn't have been charged when the October bundle releases).
Comment has been collapsed.
But when I paused it today it specifically said it was the October 2019 Bundle with the Battletech DLCs, and that it is paused until 1 November. I compared both e-mails and the only difference between today's e-mail and the other October pause e-mail was the list of games (before: BATTLETECH, today: BATTLETECH, BATTLETECH - Flashpoint, and BATTLETECH - Shadow Hawk Pack).

I haven't paused in forever. I hope it was a good decision.
