Which one would you like to see more?
Lots of good titles there. Everyone putting up awesome lists. I wouldn't mind if Humble gave a +2 vault option of past bundled games on top of 12. More options to choose in case of a VR ever so often, or epic/gog/blizz and other platform titles creeping in. Choice makes me happy, more choice makes me extra happy. :)

Same here. I'd have paid that for it gladly before the debacle. But after all that disappointing I just won't spend much for it. Psychologically, this will always be a mediocre ersatz version of what was promised, even though I know about all the updates.

From what's listed, I feel like monster hunter is the most likely to be in a monthly. Doom would be a pretty crappy option cause of how cheap it's been on sale.

Factorio has a no sale no bundle policy, you won't see it in a bundle
Xcom 2 was in 2017 February monthly already
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen was in 2016 Dec monthly already
Doom will definitely be in a bundle and it is very likely it will be bundled now or very soon as Doom Eternal will be released soon.
DRAGON BALL FighterZ possible to be in monthlies, DLC heaven games tend to be bundled, but not sure that the Dragonball series will be in monthly or will be in a separate expensive bundle once.
No Man's Sky won't be bundled for sure. It doesn't have DLCs and has enough continuous sales so developers don't have a serious need for a fast income which will ruin their future sales because of black markets.
FINAL FANTASY XV and NieR:Automata: Square Enix makes every single game to bundles sooner or later, so this is just about matter of time. FF franchise might be an exception, I not really following JRPGs. One thing is sure tho, as long as there are enough sales on the title Square Enix not bundle the game and not sure about Final Fantasy, but NieR still getting more than enough continuous sales.
Monster Hunter World in bundle is possible since its DLC release, but I still wouldn't expect it until one more DLC out or until a new similar and popular game out.
Sekiro: not in the near future, no way.
Witcher 3: even if it will be bundled then it will be a GOG key. Also, still too popular and unbundled sale prices just a joke for the playtime. The Netflix series also pushed the sales again so much that they can delay Cyberpunk release so they can release a "hopefully" flawless game. They not in series need of fast cash. I personally prefer to give direct money to the developer company instead of getting a cheap copy, one of the few companies which deserve the support.
PuBG: MP games get bundled once they are dead or nearly dead. So it is easy to say this not going to be bundled in the near future. If it will be then that will be just a sign that the game will go to F2P a few months later lol.
ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3: There is a reason why we never see very expensive franchises in bundles. Marvel wouldn't be happy for pennies.
We Happy Few: DLC, Season Pass, only ~100 daily players now (even if it is SP, not MP), it is very likely this will get bundled soon.

Wow, now I want to see more of these analysis xD
Devil May Cry 5, DRAGON QUEST XI, Frostpunk, Iconoclasts, Kingdom: Two Crowns, Hand of Fate 2, Indivisible... do you see any of these games on a Humble Choice?

Well, those are subjective opinions, can't see the exact financial situation of the developers so it is always possible that some team gets to financial shortage and need fast income even if they know that it will come with worsened sales of their bundled game, but the usual factors to get the game bundled:
-game is ok, but not sold well and developers need some fast income from it to pay the bills, mostly indie games fall in this category
-many DLCs out now so the developer tries to lure in new players while hoping for DLC sales.
-new game out or incoming from the same developer and using the old game to advertise it as after activation players can see the advertisement news on the old game
-it is an MP game and need players because it is dead or nearly dead.
Devil May Cry 5: Capcom games are common in humble monthlies, so this game is a good candidate for a humble choice game, probably not during this year yet, perhaps not even in 2021, too early. After that, perhaps, if bundling still exists, I am not sure about that, the trend is moving to subscriptions so I expect big changes to gaming culture in the upcoming decade.
Frostpunk is a very good candidate to be bundled. It has now DLCs. Previous games of the developer were bundled, some of it in monthlies. However, Frostpunk is still a popular game, it has enough continuous sales. It is also a unique game, no newer option, so it would be a pretty stupid move from the developer side to allow it to a bundle.
Iconoclasts is a puzzle-platformer, such games are commonly used to fill the monthlies and this looks like a possible game for it. Discord no longer working, looks like developer moved on from gaming and not really interested in such offers or would be even hard to find him to make offers.
Kingdom: Two Crowns: Previous Kingdom game from the same developer was in a monthly several years ago, then in additional other humble bundles. This means this game could be expected in a monthly/choice.... BUT! Kingdom: Two Crowns get free patches here and there, more content and no information about the upcoming game from the same developer so I believe he we not going to see this game in a bundle. At least not in the near future.
Hand of Fate 2 is currently in the Australian charity bundle. Humble usually not add a game to a monthly/choice they bundled already. This might be an exception, but it is clear we will see this game in more bundles in the future according to the previous behavior of the same developer.
Indivisible: This game is way too new for a bundle. However, the previous game of the developer was bundled now 13! times. Unavoidable, a perfect candidate for a monthly game, but I doubt it will happen during 2020, first the developers will try to sell as many as they can via discounts. I would expect this on a monthly in Q4 of 2020 as earliest. They also working on the physical copy and collector edition's release right now so while still so many things around the game I doubt they will throw their game away to the black market.

Thank you so much for indulging me without having a need to ^^
Talking about that trend moving to subscriptions, I also see humble limiting our game keys to a single account or other limitations like a timer to keys.
It would be the lesser evil to not hurt indie companies. As much as I love bundles and makes me pay way less for games, it kind of breaks my heart seen so much great indie games devalued so much and so quickly in grey markets.

The devs of Factorio have said never to bundles.
Monster Hunter would be sweet though.

I think games that have been published by Humble Bundle themselves have a more likely chance to be in a monthly bundle.
So games such as Forager, Temtem (both I would really liked to see bundled) Crying Suns and Void Bastards probably have a good chance.
As for the rest of the games I like to see bundled
Cuphead
Puyo Puyo Tetris
Later Alligator
Dead Cells
Kingdom: Two Crowns
Hypnospace Outlaw
Baba is You
Cat Quest 2
Celeste
killer7
GRIS
Cube World (feeling this won't get bundled)
No Man's Sky
Mega Man X Legacy Collection
Team Sonic Racing
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Any of the Atelier games on steam i guess?

There are many perfect things for rainy days. Which makes rainy days quite nice. Sunny days are nice, too. And anyway, it wasn't the literal sort of rainy days, obviously.
The thing is, I typically buy games just because I'm tempted. I have more than enough games. I hardly play those games. (I often don't even activate them on Steam.) Buying more of them is kind of pointless. So I'd rather not be tempted.

Thank you! You started it. :)
And yes, there's definitely pleasure in buying games even when one doesn't play them. Or buying pretty much anything. I have tons of e-books from Humble (and Groupees and Fanatical) that I will never read. But I certainly don't think it's that good to buy stuff I most likely won't use.
