Is it Ok that this Ok-tober bundle is not as Ok as the previous months?
RU/CIS: {309479} When I enter steam via the steam db, I am thrown to the steam home page.
And when creating a distribution, I have only two link options: 309466 and 309465
Can I create a region-restricted distribution without any problems?
Which link to choose from the two possible when creating?

Clicking on the Steam Store link from {309479} leads you nowhere because this package is not sold on Steam (and does not have a corresponding Steam page).
For creating giveaways, use 309466 (usually using the one listed under "Everyone else:" is the one you need to pick). Please make sure to restrict your giveaway to RU/CIS, if you have the RU/CIS key {309479}.
{sub/309465} has the same name on SteamGifts (although it should be "Tropico 6 El Prez Edition Prepurchase") but if you look at the SteamDB package contents you'll see that it contains an extra Pre-purchase DLC, Tropico 6 - The Llama of Wall Street. This DLC is not present in the package you want to use in the giveaway {309479}.

Oh dear, that's terrible. I hoped the leak would end up being wrong, though given the source that was probably a vain hope.
So many rebundles and previously free games! That'd be embarrassing in any bundle, but in Choice / Monthly it feels doubly bad.

Since a lot of people have commented that this bundle made them pause, or exclaimed that nobody would subscribe for this bundle, I feel like this is a wonderfully ironic place to ask if anyone knows how the autocharge for new subs works. This is my first time subscribing to humble choice, I subscribed today and paid for one month at the same time. My autocharge date is then 27th of November though, is this normal? Is there some "" two months for one"-thing I completely missed?

The worst ever. They have broken their own record, once again.

People who say this is the worst bundle HB has ever put out probably don't remember the infamous BO4 Monthly. At first, it was just the Battle Edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops IV that was included (multiplayer only) but the backlash was so bad, HB finally changed it to the standard edition, which had the solo campaign and the zombie mode.
Also, people comparing this to Indie Gala? Seriously? I don't like the October bundle either (rebundles, freebies and overall, absolutely not to my liking) but damn... it's still above IG's level of game quality in my eyes. Considering how people often like to exaggerate, I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone saying Humble Bundle is getting worse than DIG. Maybe next month?
That said, I sure hope next month will be better. Monster Hunter: World would be nice as a headliner.
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct. Indie Gala's bundles cost less... and they are mostly filled with shovelwares, low value games and titles that have been rebundled to death. You know, you usually get what you pay for. But all in all, the overall quality of HB bundles imo is better than IG and I don't understand how anyone could think otherwise.

Agreed, I did hear similar comparison between HB and fanatial bundles, and while I still think the quality of HB games are better, it is possible that in some cases it's a matter of personal taste...at some point, the assumption of a game's quality being better or worse depends on the person...
But in the case of indiegala, it's nearly all shovelware xD I dont think they are even worth the asking price (5$?) but if we are talking about happy hour...maybe.

How about the bundle that had H1Z1 as a headliner or the Destiny 2 one.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was pissed off about Destiny 2, but that's what got me playing it eventually, and I've got over 600 hours in it now. Maybe it should not have headlined a Humble monthly, but it's a damfine game.

Wow, it keeps getting worse and worse. They are doing perfectly great 🤣

My guess for November Choice (announced on Halloween) is 12 Vampire Visual Novel games 🤣
Or maybe rerun Vampyr at least ...

The Tropico bundle added DLC for 4/5, making it so that you got all DLC's for both games.

At first glance this bundle didn't seem like much, but really it's a solid mix of stuff I would never play in a million years and stuff that really does sound intriguing. I'm irritated to see The Uncertain, which is a good game but one I got from Humble in the first place years ago. I don't mind that the current Humble doesn't offer us superstar games; in general I'm more likely to enjoy solid well-made second-tier games with more personality than sometimes AAA headliners can get away with.

Pretty good bundle. Not sure why everybody is complaining again.
Comment has been collapsed.
From reading the thread here, it is clear people are complaining about :
Lack of quality of the games for a monthly.
Not a good frontrunner game (Tropico 6 base game).
2 or 3 of the games have been given away for free prior to this bundle.
Some have been in prior bundles on humble.
Bundle feels more like a fanatical or even an indiegala type thing.
Honestly, it is not a great bundle by any stretch, I think, but it's not the worst monthly bundle ever.
It is up there though..
Had this been a regular bundle with tiers, I think it would have been better received, but HB have just put themselves in a corner when it comes to monthlies by putting high quality games in pretty much every month for a long time, and when quality begin dropping off, even a little, people will notice, and complain.

Tropico 6, Lightmatter and Sunless Skies - looks pretty good to me in terms of value.
Comment has been collapsed.
Cool read. I'm relatively new to this whole bundle thing so pretty much every monthly from January till now have all been amazing months in my opinion. There is always something in them that I either wanted or never even heard of and would not have heard of if not for humble bundle monthlies. Even if the month isn't as appealing that just allows me to save money for one of the weeklies.
Maybe you're right. If they take monthlies away perhaps people would then really appreciate them more, but then again I fear what that might do to some of the new developers that really need the support and promotion.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, people are usually really bad at seeing the value in something that's made for someone else.
A lot of people are also only aware of what's marketed towards them, as opposed to actively looking for smaller titles that don't get promoted as much, and some people even avoid anything they haven't already heard about, and that's a lot of the games in this bundles. Great games that don't have the reach or wide appeal of AAA games.

Three out of twelve are interesting to me and out of those three I already have two so... pass. :D

Thank you Humble for reminding me I have enough quality games still untouched in my library. Maybe I am getting old, or maybe it is just Humble's game quality the one that is going so down.
The thing is have less free time and that is making me focus on games received as gifts or the games I bought when bundles were much more interesting for me. Another pause and I have paused more than 6 months in a row. (I have to admit that Gamepass and some Switch games have me entertained as well...)
