[Recurring subscription] Itโ€™s maybe time I stopped buying games and started committing to playing the library I have. But not today...
[New subscription] Ancestors and Pathologic 2 are some amazing headliners and a good start to what I hope will be a successful year. It would be silly not to subscribe, even if past months had better promotions.
[Maybe subscribe] I am 50/50 about the games featured in this month's bundle. Will need to think this one through.
[Pause / Backlog] Here we go again, playing "Pausing My Subscription Simulator"โ€ฆ
[Cancelling / will not buy] I find it better to spend the money on a game or two off my wishlist (especially due to ongoing winter sales) than on these monthly bundles.

That'll be a skip from me. Nothing that interesting here to me except maybe Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York. Glad I didn't do the $6 deal, and unless the choices get much better I probably won't even renew Choice when my yearly sub runs out.

Humble killing me like their name was Smallz. December offer me 6 games I had no interest in at ALL, not even to try and trade or GA. Then In January offer me Song of Horror and Pathologic 2(Both WERE on my wishlist until two days ago when I bought them on sale through key sites)

Hi, I'd like to suggest a new poll choice: something for people who signed up for the $6 / month deal and who wish they could pause but can't.

You can pause, but you will lose the discount.

This is me, lol. The only games I'm remotely interested in are Ancestors, Tales of the Neon Sea and Not Tonight (and I guess PC Building Simulator out of sheer curiosity as to how that could be fun), and I'm not interested enough in any of those to make paying even $6 worth it. I'm sticking with it for now, but if the next couple of months are as bad as this one, I'll probably cancel early.

I guess this is why they gave us that deal. XD

lol people complaining like crazy about these last two bundles, but im loving the switch to more niche and well, fun, games. can't fucking STAND grand strategy and rts or buttgames like CoD. give me all the roguelikes, metroidvanias, arpgs and casual puzzle games

I personally would not pay money for a bunch of games I'm not interested in. I wouldn't even take PC Building Simulator, or Ancestors if they were free. Apparently others think the same.
It may cost lower than in stores, but their value is absolutely zero for certain people.

Didn't ppl started to get banned from HB bc of giving the games away? Such a thing would only work with non-traders anyway, too much investment for so little gain.

3 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

If you are complaining about the worth of a games bundle, you shouldn't then be saying 2 minutes of your time for making 150% of its cost isn't worth the investment. You can't get banned if you trade game keys, obviously only really works if you're trading with someone with decent reputation though.

I doubt it would take me 2 minutes to sell all of the games back for 150%, now you're just being silly.

it would take less than 2 minutes for any trader to find someone to buy it off them for less than 2 minute

3 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't understand what you meant by "buy it off them for less than 2 minute" but in any case not everyone is a trader. I'd say if you can get 150% from the bundle in less than 2 minutes you should make it a full time job, in 1 hour you'd have sold at least 30 which being ~9 each would give you a net proffit of at least $90 in just 1 hour.

I would pay for good games, even if some of them were repeats, the real problem is that ppl expect to get what HB was known for, putting actual games in a monthly. PC Building Simulator is the saddest excuse of a game i've ever seen and you should feel bad for arguing otherwise

Humble Bundle started off only selling indie game bundles. It's more like they are going back to their roots.

Even if you're only looking at the Monthly bundles - AAA games used to be on the rarer side. For the first year, for example, there were only 3 AAA games offered. It really wasn't until 2018 and 2019 when they started having month after month of AAA headliners.

Can't say I know much about this bundle, but I've been pausing for the last 4-5 months. The $6 USD ($8.XX CDN) made it a lot more appealing but the fact that you can't pause without breaking the TOS makes it a giant crapshoot based on last years pause to un-pause ratio.

I'm a gambling man though. Chances are I'll lose, but that's ok. There's some gems in the poop somewhere.

Is he really from Japan though?
You can set the country on your profile to whatever you want, so your actual region can be different.

Ouch, that's really weird, considering that there was no notification about locked countries when trying to create a gift link.
Could you ask him maybe if he had one? If so, then it could mean that the notifications are now different between regions and if this is the case, then we can't really have a comprehensible list of what each of the regions gets any more...

He now sent me the key thru SG which worked.
madjoki list of locked countries including Japan for that package is an interesting one and is not a normal region. So maybe I should have called it a country lock.
I asked him how he fixed it.

Been a while since I skipped, so many great monthlies. But this month, it's a singular game, not even the AAA one, Vampire. And it's cheaper fullprice than the bundle so it's not a great deal.
Oh well, it was too good to last with RPG goodness.

I am confused, someone please help me with this.
Currently i am subscribed to "Premium Plan" which based on their FAQ eligible for 9 choices.

  1. So why does it says i have 12 choices remaining in the bundle page? https://prnt.sc/xcoh5v
    Do i get to keep all twelve games or what?
  2. If i forgot to claim the januari choice and also forgot to pause the subscription, what will happen?
    do i automatically get the januari choice and can get the key later in my humble library (same as humble monthly) ?

why did they get rid of monthly for this, so confusing.

It's a limited time offer, this month you get all 12 games, but it must redeemed before the 5th of February

They say it's a limited offer.
Definition from a random website:
"A limited-time offer is any kind of discount, deal, special gift, or reward a buyer can get if they make a purchase during a certain time period."

Indeed, it is a limited offer, as it won't be available forever.

Heeey! Park-boy is not a choice, though--it's an extra. The extras are usually DRM free, but the June 2020 bundle had 2 DRM free choices: Overload and The King's Bird. April had 2, March had 2, February had 2...

I doubt that they put into consideration to pick a game with drm-free option over other factors. It's not really up to HB if a game has drm-free or not.

3 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I've thought the same. I'm not sure if it's because there aren't DRM-free equivalents of the choice games already (haven't bothered investigating) or if there's another factor at play.
