All those promises of not rebundling games into Humble Monthly haven't been kept in the latest Choice bundles. How does this make you feel?
Interestingly, this is the first (or second?) choice that I'm NOT insta-pausing. Think this is the first one that hasn't been riddled with dupes or giveaways for me.

A bit expected really, with a summersale or wintersale going on I always expect that the bundle that falls in that month is going to be "weaker"
For me its a pause since I bought a decent amount of games during the sale and therefor don't need more games.

Their marketing is getting better. They are trying to sell me(paused Classic) Premium sub for same price...
And also my other account where I redeemed one free monthly coupon.
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought i was only one ''lucky man'' who got their '''generous'' coupon to losing my Classic Plan.
Now need to wait till July, 30 when this crap's deadline if i'll change my mind about July Choice. :/.

Battlestar galactica was an awesome tv series, dont know about the game tho...

I hope this time the free bonus game won't be something I already have.... :-/

Wait, there's a free bonus game this Month? If so, I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere...
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, that's good to know, thanks. So when they started with this free bonus game, they said it's not intended to be a regular thing and yet seems like they're having one every month now. I can only assume the whole revealing all games upfront didn't exactly increase sales, so they're slowly going back to blind bundles...

Easy one to pause...Think Humble is trying to create my longest stretch of paused months.

TR copies of Age of Wonders are in the RU/CIS + LATAM + KR + CN region lock, steamdb not mentioning about it, i bought it to sell and now i'll probably have to use it myself :/
Comment has been collapsed.
SteamDB packages are usually accurate in regards to the countries they list. However, it is possible that Humble Bundle gave you this RU/CIS + LATAM + KR + CN key even though you should have received a ROW key instead; in that case you should probably contact Steam support.
Or it can be that there is yet another package which contains TR as a country, but it is not yet indexed on SteamDB (due to the recent change that Valve made to packages: new packages are not visible any more).
If you end up activating it, I would appreciate the sub id.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, package has been changed after, so SteamDB won't be able to display latest version. It affects old packages as well.
(SteamDB has notice in these packages "The data for this package may be outdated, as our bot can no longer access the package info.")
Comment has been collapsed.
seems like it has free on demand sub:
https://steamdb.info/sub/362166/info/ might be worth a mention.
Comment has been collapsed.
i activated it and the sub id is 339115 and in account details it says Age of Wonders: Planetfall Deluxe Edition (LATAM/RU/CIS/KR/CN)

I kinda think there should be another option in the poll. As it is I think most options are kinda harsh. I personally don't think I will get the Choice as I got Void Bastards and Railway Empire on a split, but I consider it's a great deal for those headline games (Planetfall and Battlestar) if you are interested in them. Something like "Not interested in the games but great value for them" or along those lines would reflect my opinion, idk if I'm alone on this or if others may feel the same way, it's just my feedback
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't vote this time either. I'm staying subscribed and not pausing, but I certainly do mind rebundles a little more than "not at all".
Comment has been collapsed.
If you want any mix of Planetfall, Battlestar Galactica, Railway Empire, or Void Bastards then the bundle is damn good. Even for just one of those games the bundle is still the best price they've seen.
The rest of the bundle is rather junk though. I only want two games, Planetfall and BSG, but even so it's a great deal for those and it comes with extras like Sigma Theory that look interesting.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes options are very specific with description which is non universal = does not give true view:).
To be honest I considered 3 of them on Steam sales. Probably would wait for better prices for them anyway, but no it is no brainer if i have them in bundle. But I guess most SteamGifters prefer different genres/games. But i am happy with this one:).

The only game I wanted from this bundle - Yuppie Psycho - I bought in the steam sale last week...
I believe this is my third 'classic' pause in a row. Ah, well, maybe next month.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am a fan of the Age of Wonders series so I was happy to claim Planetfall. Void Bastards and Battlestar Galactica was also on my wishlist. The point and click games Yuppie and Don't Escape look interesting too and are highly rated.
I thought it was a good month overall with all the games offered getting good ratings on steam.
I already have Earthlock from Xbox Games with Gold and Verlet Swing from a previous Indie Gala bundle so I claimed the other 10 games I am entitled to from Humble Choice.

@Lilly, why you have not mentioned that there will be one more game @ 7th August 2020?

This month I pause cause the games are not interesting for me.
Still I wish everyone buying this bundle a lot fun with the games! ^_^
Comment has been collapsed.
Wasn't Earthlock free or somethig? Says it wasn't bundled but I own it
Comment has been collapsed.
Sadly Earthlock is the only one I'm interested in, so have to pass for now. Maybe get lucky on a giveaway or eventually find it in a more appealing bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Much nicer than the last one, for me; this one ticked a bunch of boxes. Mind, the last one would have been a lot better if not for all the Humble repeats.

So I've tried to pause it and they gave me a $2 coupon for Humble Choice. Will it be automatically used on July 31st? I already have the $9 monthly offer
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, did you get the coupon at step 1 of the pause process? I ask because I don't really want to pause the subscription, but a discount would be appreciated.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can go all the way till you actually paused and unpause again afterwards, without losing anything. Including the bonus game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got my sub during a promotion, unfortunately I'll lose the discounted price if I pause the subs. I'd like to check for the coupon but I don't want to risk losing my current discount.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I got it and it's sitting there in the coupons section. But I don't know WHEN that coupon will be used.
Comment has been collapsed.
It will be used on your next payment (if you paused, it won't be this month), as long as it hasn't expired by then
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh ok, so automatically on the next renewal (July 31st because I didn't pause). Thank you!
Comment has been collapsed.
I see nothing offered in the step 1, maybe I could check the next steps (maybe step 3?). Sorry if I ask again but I have to be very careful because I'll lose the current discounted subs in case I actually pause the subs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why would you want a coupon then? You are already on a discounted sub (and for another year it seems) and the coupon expires in October.
Comment has been collapsed.
Other users with a discounted sub (not Classic, just a discounted Premium much like the "40% off" promo) got the coupon during the process of pausing. I'd like to know in which step the coupon is expected to appear, in case a user is eligible. As stated in the root post, the user already has a 9$ monthly offer and he got a 2$ coupon, when trying to pause.
Comment has been collapsed.
I confirm I got the coupon after continuing from the 1st step to the 2nd step, but then I didn't continue to the 3rd step so I didn't pause it (pausing would void the 9$ promo).
I'm not sure why I got that coupon, maybe I've met these requirements:
- first time Choice subscriber
- first time trying to pause it
Comment has been collapsed.
A huge "thank you" for your reply, I asked because I wanted to keep the promo as well. I've been lucky enough to get the coupon, so thank you again.
As for the requirements, it was the same situation for me: first time trying to pause, first (or second) time Choice subscriber.
Comment has been collapsed.
wait, did they do a switch on the ''mystery game''?, im sure i saw Boundless on Friday, but when i checked just now, i only see Grotto none steam version, and some sneak peak
edit--
nvm, im an idiot, Boundless was for June Bundle
Comment has been collapsed.
Ive had a chance to look over each game and Im pleased that most all of the games are teen rating or less. I know that for many rating doesn’t matter but I have young children so this is a plus for me.
Im surprised with Boundless as the bonus game from last month. My kids absolutely love it.
Im going for this bundle and look forward hopefully for a nice bonus.
Earthlock was free on twitch prime a few months ago... Ive really enjoyed it and have almost completed it. Also a plus to own a Steam version of a favorite!
Comment has been collapsed.
Time for a pause. I would buy it if I wouldn't have AoWP, but the other games are just meh for me, they don't worth the money.
Comment has been collapsed.
Question: when offered the $2 coupon to "stick around" (rather than Pausing), does accepting the coupon automatically charge the account for that month? Does it remove your choice to pause later? (I just assume that pausing that month would simply render the $2 coupon invalid or cause it to disappear, anyone have any idea what happens?)
Comment has been collapsed.
the only ones that look interesting to me are sigma theory and earthlock but it honestly just isn't enough to make me want this month's. the rest are just not my type of game I think.
