Will you subscribe for this monthly bundle, which goes live on 10AM PDT, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5th?
After seeing July's bundle and August's early unlock, I probably won't be subscribing again for a while.

Rachel, you've misspelled "starter" as "starker" in the title. :)

Yeah, the early bundles were definitely a bait&switch. This thing is officially a joke now.

Yeah, it starts to look like it. If it stays like this, I think they'll lose a lot of subscribers...

Looks much better than BO3, at least much more worth the price, lol. :P

just wow. I already wasn't sold on hurtworld. I still got the July bundle because I was able to trade the early unlock for something I liked but now they really are trying very hard to convince me to stop subbing. Ok humble you did it, I'll skip this month.
Even the rest of the july bundle was questionable at best so I don't have any hope left for august.

This is a new low for HB. Maybe if that was a full game i would get it but there is no way i will for only Starter Pack.

CodBlops 3 Multiplayer Starter Pack.

a very sad unlock but upgrade is only $15 for upgrade to full during the sale which might make it worth for some.

If you want a real shooter go buy Rising Storm for $5 instead of getting the lame starter CoD pack

Multiplayer starter pack? Are you fucking kidding? I mean, I'd totally be okay with the main games, after all, the campaign is decent and zombies mode is inifinitely fun but... WHAT!?
I'll still buy it (cuz I'm the biggest sucker) but you can be certain I'll be giving that away on this site.

I think the monthly bundles are pretty nice, The early COD unlock is undesirable, but overall I've been pretty happy w/ the quality of games in the bundles.

Well you can get the full version of COD BO3 much cheaper (http://store.steampowered.com/app/437351) if you have this starter pack
' Call of Duty: Black Ops III - MP Starter Pack Full Game Upgrade
Upgrading to the Full Game will allow access to the full Call of Duty: Black Ops III game. This content includes Multiplayer mode, Campaign mode, and Zombies mode.'

Oh, I thought you meant that it gives an extra discount if you have the Starter pack. ;p

If you own the Starter pack, you can buy full version of the COD cheaper than buy the COD alone in the steam store
Comment has been collapsed.
You can upgrade to the full version for 15 or so bucks. Instead of the 30 bucks it's now on steam. It's a pretty good deal, since you'll still get the other games in the bundle (which might be shit or might be good).

Just cancelled. I have less than zero interest in a CoD demo.

They killed all my expectations after July's reveal, un-subscribing for good....

Since I did not see it in the FAQ.
In order for a CURRENT Subscriber to get the new monthly unlock, they have to wait until they are charged (1 week before it goes live), or to un-subscribe then re-subscribe?
Comment has been collapsed.
no no, to get the early unlock you have to PAY EARLY to get it. Meaning go to the bundle page and PAY EARLY. So you can pay ANYTIME before July 29th to get the Early Unlock.
- Go to "See my subscription" or click https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly/p/july_2016_monthly
- go to bottom of the page
- click "PAY EARLY FOR $12
It says
Pay now for August's bundle to unlock Call of Duty®: Black Ops III - Multiplayer Starter Pack immediately!

I tried that, it said payment failed you are currently a subscriber. shrug
Edit: Apparently I tried too early, it works now. Thanks!
(Originally tried 5 minutes after the monthly unlocked)

Comment has been collapsed.
no, its a stand alone... you can just play multiplayer games and as it is just a starter pack, it seems you even dont have full access...

It's a stand alone, but a lightweight version with only multiplayer, and not even all multiplayer features. Basically a glorified demo.

it's a demo-type thing ... the info below is available using the link i provided to the store page ....

For the complete Call of Duty: Black Ops III experience, you will need to upgrade to the full version of the game. Below is a list of features not available in the Multiplayer Starter Pack.

proof that this has trading cards
As of recently, there are only coupons for NEW SUBSCRIBERS in circulation. I haven't seen any coupons for Existing Subscribers.
ALL MONTHLY BUNDLE SUBSCRIBERS GET 10% OFF ALL STORE PURCHASES (INCLUDING BUILD A BUNDLES)
View Previous Monthly Bundles
Q + A for EXTREMELY COMMON QUESTIONS THAT GET ASKED REPEATEDLY:
Q: Can I just skip this upcoming month's bundle, and still get next months bundle? Is there a PAUSE option for subscriptions?
Q: How does this 10% off coupon work? Does it work for 1st time subscribers only? What about current subscribers?
See the COUPON FAQ for more information!
A: For first time subscribers: You CAN use the 10% off coupon. They autocharge you $10.80 (if you have the coupon) one week before the bundle goes live, or you can pay early to get the the featured unlock game and still get the bundle for $10.80, or if not subscribed, pay with the coupon anytime before the bundle goes live.
ADDENDUM (June 3): As of recently, there are only coupons for NEW SUBSCRIBERS in circulation. I haven't seen any coupons for Existing Subscribers (yet).
Q: If I've subscribed before, maybe I can just unsubscribe and then resubscribe to use the NEW subscriber coupon?
A: Unfortunately. THIS DOES NOT WORK. I repeat, UNSUBBING AND RESUBBING DOES NOT WORK. (This has been confirmed many many times that it does NOT work). You have to create a new account in order to use the coupon, and you can NOT transfer coupons between accounts.
Q: "When is the latest I can unsubscribe (if I am a [re]current subscriber) to avoid being autocharged for the next month's bundle (AUGUST) if I subscribe for this one now?"
A: ONE WEEK before the next bundle goes live, you will be autocharged if you are currently subscribed. This means you will be autocharged JULY 29th if you want the AUGUST MONTHLY BUNDLE.
I recommend unsubscribing/canceling subscription right away if you know you don't want next month's bundle.
Q: BUT WAIT!! I decided that I do want the AUGUST bundle and it has passed JULY 29th...! Can I still get it??
A: YES. JULY 29th is the day they AUTOcharge you if you are a recurrent/current subscriber
HOWEVER, if you want JUST the AUGUST bundle, subscribe for it NOW, PAY, and IMMEDIATELY UNSUBSCRIBE so that you DO NOT get charged for the SEPTEMBER bundle.
Your LAST day to get the AUGUST bundle is AUGUST 5th BEFORE 10AM PDT.
Q: Can I unsubscribe right away if I just want the AUGUST Bundle?
A: YES, you can unsubscribe away if you just want the AUGUST bundle. You will get the featured game + Everything else that will be in the bundle once it goes live.
Q: What is the latest I can be "subscribed" to to avoid being autocharged for the next month's bundle? (AUGUST Bundle)
A: You MUST unsubscribe 1 week before the bundle goes live to avoid being charged for the AUGUST bundle. Otherwise, you will be autocharged if you are currently subscribed on JULY 29th if you are getting the AUGUST MONTHLY BUNDLE.
Q: Will I get everything inside the bundle if I subscribe just for JUST the AUGUST monthly bundle, and then unsubscribe right away?
A: Yes, you get the entire AUGUST bundle and won't be charged for the next (SEPTEMBER) bundle.
Q: Do they reveal games early?
A: NO. They do not provide hints. Sometimes they may, but this is very RARE. One or two days before, they will reveal a Humble "Original," which is an exclusive DRM-Free game provided only by Humble Bundle. However, they DO NOT REVEAL GAMES BEFORE THE BUNDLE GOES LIVE.
Q: Will I still get the Early Unlock game(s) if I don't want to pay early for the bundle? Will I be able to get the game if i buy it NOW before the bundle goes live?
A: YES. ANYONE who buys the bundle, whether you pay early, have a current subscription and let HB autocharge you 1 week before the bundle goes live, or don't have a subscription but decide you want to purchase the bundle, AS LONG AS YOU PAY FOR THE BUNDLE ANYIME BEFORE THE BUNDLE GOES LIVE, YOU WILL GET THE EARLY UNLOCK GAME.
Q: How do I subscribe again? Or... How the heck do I cancel my subscription? How do I view what kind of plan I have for Monthly Bundle Subscriptions?
A: go to your ACCOUNT SETTINGS and check to see if you are subscribed for the monthly bundle.
If you are subscribed, it should look like this on your account page: HB MONTHLY PLAN
Now, You will see TWO options
Q: After the monthly bundle goes live, can I get a refund for the bundle?
A: No, you will not be eligible for refunds after the games have been revealed. You can try to contact support and request a refund, but you probably won't get your money back after the bundle goes live.
If I'm not mistaken, you can only get a refund if you request one 1 WEEK BEFORE THE BUNDLE GOES LIVE (July 29th for the AUGUST Bundle).
Please read the
FAQ
if you have questions regarding:
Also, again ... "When is the latest I can unsubscribe if i am a recurrent/current subscriber to avoid being autocharged for the next month's bundle if I subscribe for this one now?"
A: ONE WEEK before the next bundle goes live, you will be autocharged. This means you will be autocharged JULY 29th if you want the AUGUST MONTHLY BUNDLE.
I recommend unsubscribing/canceling subscription right away if you know you don't want next month's bundle (SEPTEMBER).
