Ever played yourself by skipping a humble subscription month?

Yes but 2 years later I bought Wasteland 2 so all is well.

Don't skip months, stay subscribed and sell/trade whatever you don't like. Also, Yakuza is great!

You can still purchase February's bundle until March games come out correct?

Sniper Elite 3 was free on Gamesessions recently

Sure, I've missed out on reveals from monthlies but if I want them bad enough I just trade for em.

You definitely played yourself by skipping Yakuza 0... but so have I, where I skipped three months or so (couldn't afford to renew) and in each month there was at least two games I had wishlisted.

Now that I've re-subscribed? All the games I've wanted I have already. Ah, well, paying it forward on SG.

I did the opposite: I got the May 2018 bundle for Ruiner, and it turned out to be the only game in the bundle I was interested in. Later, I found out that I could get a free trial for Xbox Game Pass, and guess what one of the available games was? Ruiner.

I have a ton of left over games, so I just trade for what I want if the revealed are good.

One of the few months I skipped was the month they had ARK.

Not sure if it counts as skipping when I haven't been a subscriber for more than one and half years now. Anyway, I don't think I missed a lot during that time. Well, yeah, some of those games were on my wishlist, some I won, others I got cheap during sales (Steam or elsewhere) most of them are not that important anyway, I wishlist things because they might be interesting, not because I absolutely want to have them. And I am very picky when it comes to games.

Monthly...no. Bundles...yes
Still upset that I held out on the Humble Civ and Humble Spooky bundles of 2017

I only subscribed back in summer 2018. The first one I skipped was the February Bundle, and I'm glad that I did. I didn't want any of the early reveals. Yakuza 0 and the Division are not my thing and Rapture Rejects is dead anyway apparently. I bought the Caffeine bundle instead and I'm very happy with my choice.

That's what you get for despising Yakuza

@Outlaw1991: Are you still interested in Sniper Elite 3 and Fatal Furies? I'd be willing to sell you mine if you want. (unfortunately I don't have ROA2 anymore).

It happened to me once but I managed to get the wishlisted game in a trade a few days later

I never missed a monthly.

I skipped a monthly once and regretted it, pretty much for the same reason you stated. The reason I skipped it was because of Destiny 2 not being a game I could easily trade or giveaway. Consider me biased, but I feel these monthlies should not be a mixture of DRMs and would likely be better received by consumers if they were put into their own bundle... like the current one for the PS4, for example. If they decide to put console games into these monthlies, I'm done.

Not really. If I don't want the early unlocks and can't really trade them easily thanks to region locking, I just skip it. If something in the late reveals turn out something I want, I can buy it cheaply for less than $2 most of the time from others (or get lucky and win it instead here) :P

Dont worry, you can get all of those 3 games under total of 4.90 eur.
Most of gamers selling / trading their games because of they already have it or simply dont want it.
