Let's start off the year with a bundle! Will you be subscribing?
So the hint for the Alien Isolation wasnt for the January one right? Are there any salty late time buyers subscribing for January bundle just for that?

It seems like it's part of the Feb bundle so you'll only get 5 more at the reveal from the wording at least.

I just unsubscribed and resubscribed and got alien isolation. So if a person wants to pay early they can get Alien Iso which is part of the feb bundle. New or old subscribers. Current subscribers will get Alien Isolation when their account is charged on Jan 20th like every other month.

There is no such thing as extra game, I have subscribe for the whole three months. Could you name a game you think I don't receive?

If you had subscribed for November, and then removed subscription for December, and subscribe for January again, according to their working, you would not get Payday 2 + DLC. If you had not subscribed for November, you would have gotten it.
That is the difference in the games you get based on the fact that you have subscribed before or not.

Well as perrolijo describe below, there is only one extra for every subscribers, there is no actuall disadvantage. I mean everyone get one extra game so no harm done, you could see it as I don't buy the December bundle. First time subscription 7 games next one always 6 games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, but now with the new system, even if you re subscribe you are getting that game. It's a change from their old system, and thus there is no more special treatment for new subscribers. Of course, I believe this is how it should be, so I am not complaining.

Sure they are showing Alien Isolation as the early access game, but is it count as the extra game? Because when we look at question marks behind it there are still six boxes of them, could probably mean 5 new games + one from one from the January for new subscriber just like the ones before?

Extra games for new subscribers. Our extra game was Legends of Grimrock II, but as it was the first bundle, everybody was a new subscriber. The past month for example it was Payday2 + DLCs, you got it along with Talos, Spelunky... if you were a new subscriber. Old subscribers of course received it, but because it was in the previous month's bundle. It was an incentive just for the new ones. If you unsubscribed after the first month and then subscribed for the third month again, you didn't get Payday 2.

So glad that i didn't subscribed this time, games are good, but not for 12$
Comment has been collapsed.
It's actually the first time that all games are so good. Even Mushroom is one of the best puzzle platformers of the year. Spelunky is also a nice game. But with grim fandango remastered and especially Talos, this bundle becomes AAA in everything to be honest...12 is indeed a great deal and that's the first time I say this for a monthly bundle. With Alien bonus it becomes too unreal. Just look at the overall prices and ratings of these games...

Maybe, but i already got Talos Pricniple with alienware stackable coupon for 1.87$, The Masterplan was 2$ week ago, and other games in my region is very cheap. Maybe it's great price for ROW buyers, but not for regions.
Also, i predict that Mushroom 11 will be bundled in some of Indiegala bundles few months later.

So let me get this straight, if one subscribes on february he/she gets all february games plus alien isolation correct ?? Or did I get it wrong?
Comment has been collapsed.
But if I pay now I get also all january games correct? (so isn't that 12+12 = 24 ? jan+feb )
I thought they gave out payday 2 etc for the new subscribers now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe I'm stupid but you guys managed to make this too complicated for me to understand after all. :P:P Now I'm even more perplexed.
Comment has been collapsed.
You pay now you get A:I now and the rest of the bundle later, you pay and the end of the month you'll get all bundle together. You can't buy past bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
So it's like a guess game. Thanks for clarifying that. This is like a roulette omg... I'll certainly stay away from it then... Too risky then.
I probably only wanted the games from january anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
So The Talos Principle was actually bundled. LOL.
Thanks to this I was able to buy @ Group Buys.
Damn PayPal fees $0.4 for $2.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you send money though PayPal, there is 2 option (at least from my side):
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes I did, there is supposedly (almost) no fee if you have PayPal balance though. Unfortunately, I don't have any PayPal balance so PayPal took the amount from my card.
Comment has been collapsed.
I did not use Paypal out of online shops since more than a year, but if I remember well the fees are much lower if you have linked your bank account to your PP account ( => they take money from your bank directly without going through your credit card).

So after 3 monthly bundles I'm gonna unsubscribe now.
I won't say that the monthly bundles are total crap, but I'm just not interested in most of the games.
I also don't think that the $12 price tag is resonable if you compare it with many of the other bundles from humble bundle. It just doesn't feel like you get rewarded for the risk of trusting HB and pay for something without knowing what you'll get.

Cross posted in the February bundle thread (not to get attention but to get the word out there)
sigh :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I just unsubscribed and subbed again to get the game. It's not ideal, but at least it's not limited to brand new subscribers anymore. I guess current subs will get it the 20th when it charges them again. I see you have this info already posted on February. I didn't notice the Feb thread :P sorry.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha thanks for keeping me updated :) I always appreciate it!

Well as a regular subscriber the trend so far for monthly is that for newcomers, one game that is the feature for the next months bundle is included in the previous one. For example, payday 2 was the feature for Decembers bundle but was included in the November bundle, and previously, the feature for November was legend of grim rock 2, which was included in the October bundle. Thus, one would assume that alien isolation, being featured in the February bundle, would be included in the January bundle.
I have been subscribed from the beginning, so seeing this change in tactics surprised me
Comment has been collapsed.
There was an October bundle in 2015 wasn't there? If there wasn't then I mean November. I dont know too long ago for me to remember
Edit oh yeah I mean November. LOG2 was the bonus game for all subscribers in November since it was the first monthly

Not your fault AT ALL. You're not responsible. You were providing us a service (as you tirelessly do!) following leads and giving us the latest info and hints.
Thank you! Now no guilt. :)

thank you trent <3 i don't feel as bad as i did this morning when i was staring at the JAnuary monthly bundle page and wondering where the hell Alien Isolation was ><
Comment has been collapsed.
6 games, 3 from my wishlist, none of the games I owned yet. Best month yet.

Rachel you lied to me :(.
Jk, but that was a horrible impulse buy. I don't really care for any of the games, except maybe the Talos principle. I wonder how that would run on my system? At least my cv will gets a good outcome from this.

crying I am so sorry Tree! It's HB and Reddits fault :( I wanted alien too. Sigh. Well maybe now you can win alien :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't feel bad. Not much you could do about it. I, for one, am really grateful for all the effort you put into the bundles.

talos principle it's one great game, if you like portal you will like talos
Comment has been collapsed.
I am disappoint. They need to stop giving me games I already have.
Comment has been collapsed.
At least the SG community benefits. It's a bargain anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have almost 2,500 games, and each bundle has had at least 1-2 games I didn't have. The rest I gave away.
There's really no reason for anyone to be disappointed. It's a win-win for everyone, but I guess I'm the only person who sees it that way.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm right with you, I think the 3 monthly bundles so far have offered some pretty incredible value. However, the hardcore game deal crowd stands to benefit less from a mystery bundle format unless they are willing to make use of trades. I think understandably there is to be expected dissent from niche communities like SteamGifts who are already highly conditioned to the insane bundle value phenomenon. It's sort of an example of the internet bubble effect... if you showed these bundles to people who have only casual interest in gaming they will probably be pretty blown away.
Comment has been collapsed.
They pretty much had to make this change. People would just keep subscribing from different accounts and get 2 copies of the top game all of the time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hint fail. Glad i didn't waste any money. Sayonara!
Comment has been collapsed.
Sigh. I get Talos Principle for a wonderful Secret Santa gift, then a few days later I get it again for the bundle. I would have finally gotten something I wanted in the HB. =(
Comment has been collapsed.
I hear you, trent... my son gifted me Talos back when it was on sale In November. I still cherish the gift but both he and I subscribed from the start, so this is kinda sad. But good thing I didn't gift him Grim Fandango!
I dunno, I'm of the mind that everything will get bundled (or have a bundle price) eventually. Patience has its rewards...and I have plenty to play in the meantime.
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel the same way! Seems whenever I buy an Indie Game it gets bundled almost the next day! In fact, I bought Talos yesterday... been trying to pick up some bundle splits though because I have a couple of friends I would love to gift it to after playing it yesterday and today. Most of the fair ones go too fast though.
Comment has been collapsed.
It will be easy to unload, plenty of us are trying to catch bundle splitters who are not gouging.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh so January people didn't get Alien: Iso? That's lame. :o
Comment has been collapsed.
Grim Fandango is a great game, but you can get it for a couple of quid in the steam sale. I'm super glad I didn't sign up for this, it's a pretty generic bundle, imo. But anyone who wants to give me their copy of GF, feel free. :P
Anyone who's that hyped about Alien: Isolation, just buy a copy. It's in the steam sale, or you can get it for 8 USD on G2A.

(clicky for pictures!)
Comment has been collapsed.
Kicking myself for not buying this one. Talos for $2, I would have taken that so fast! Grim and Payday 2 would have been nice too, been thinking of getting Grim for $2.99 as it is. The rest I had not heard of really, but would have given a try to. Been trying to buy a copy of Talos but the spares go so fast.
