Can this month's bundle keep up the high quality of the previous two months?
I´ve joined humble choice 10 days ago and I´m not sure when I should cancel it.
When I paid for it, HB stated that a charge would be done 25th October through Paypal. On the other hand, they mentioned that the susbcription would be renewed and charged 29th November.
I guess that those dates would be correct if I were a regular subscriber, right ? Can I safely asume that there would be no problem/charge if I were to cancel 10 November?
Thanks in advance

You subscribed (and paid for) the current October 2022 Monthly, which includes Deathloop & the other games.
You can cancel immediately without waiting and keep all those games in your Steam library.
The only reason for not canceling right away is maybe you see a game in their store and are considering buying it. Because you can get a 10% off most games in their store as long as you're subscribed.

On the other hand, they mentioned that the susbcription would be renewed and charged 29th November.
On 29th November, you will be automatically charged for the next month's games, and you will also (of course) receive them. If you cancel your subscription before then, nothing should happen.

You're welcome.
Another perk (I forgot to mention because I've never used it) for subscribing to Humble Monthly is their Humble Games Collection.
https://www.humblebundle.com/membership/collection?hmb_source=navbar
Games you can play for free but need two things to do that: To be subscribed and to download Humble's own launcher. They used to let you download and keep the games on your pc but that was ages ago before their new launcher.

This is your last change to pause this month, if you wish to do so.

If you pause now you won't get October games.
November Choice will open next week on Tuesday and you'll have the whole month to decide if you want to get it.
Each month is fully dedicated to the specific month. Pausing or canceling has no affect on the next month.
In essence it is just a regular bundle which you can buy immediately if you like.... Just with needlessly complicated subscription and payment model :D
PS. If you have bought the October bundle already AND you want to pause November - it has zero affect. You can unpause it once games get revealed. Once again - just needlessly complicated system for basically a regular bundle :D I hope I didn't miss anything important, though. I myself just pause it after reveal and wait for discount email..

It shows "Your next billing date is November 29, 2022." and I am able to skip the month.
Theoretically it should stay paused until 27th of December if you pause now (with possibility of unpausing at whatever time)
Seems like a hole in the system if it would let you pause next month before charging happens for current month, which unpauses your sub. Anyone done and noticed this to happen?
Comment has been collapsed.
Billing date is about actual payment for recurring subscriptions. Yours being in November is just a coincidence, mine is in next July, so it's not exactly about skipping the current month or not (but of course the billing date moves forward whenever you skip a month).

I think that is why some people are charged like this: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/PeHST/humble-bundle-october-2022-humble-choice-35-autocharge-25-oct/search?page=5#vxGj5NN

I waited until now because I was still undecided if I should get it for just deathloop.
Now I decided to get it and when I'm about to pay it says that my subscription would be automaticly renewed on the 29th of november.
That has me a bit confused about next month games...
Would I still be able to pay at the beginning of the month if I find the games interesting too or would I have to wait for the 29th. to get the november games? Because clearly I won't get both the october and november games with todays fee.

I thought I had paused this month but it still auto-charged me, that's fun.

It seems like it, but you can get it for $8 with 8FORIGN if you're not a subscriber already.
The coupon comes from https://www.ign.com/rewards.

i have a crap ton of problems subscribing to choice with a new account. i used a code from steelseeries with 50% off, made a new account and tried paying with CC and paypal, always they wanted to check my phone for the transaction, phone verified ok, then they sent an e-mail that they will further check the payment method and after some hours it will say that they couldn't verify it. very wierd.
i guess they don't want new subscribers.

Humble Bundle doesn't like multi-accounting.
If you use the same phone number, same name, same payment method, then all these accounts will be linked together and could ultimately be blocked from purchases. The phone number validation when you purchase something is the first step towards that, then comes "your order could not be approved". Those are both signs that they already don't trust you. The more you try making new accounts and using the same identification methods, the worse you make it for your main account.

Yes.
"Everyone else" is usually ROW, unless exclusions are specified.
Since there's no EU-lock listed up top, your purchase falls under the "Everyone else" category. And since for The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope that key is ROW, Asian countries will be able to redeem it.

they gave me a 20% coupon
now comes out to 9€ KEKW

24h-48h before release is when they usually leak it.

Well played, Humble, so be it: 9€ for a measly 0.99€ discount. Around 1.5 usual monthlies, but this time it was worth it, next time we'll see.

Hi,
According to french leaker Billbil-kun from Dealabs, the following games will be part of the next Choice

Mmmm maybe, i don't know about Hell Let Loose with the more recent release of Isonzo.
Comment has been collapsed.
Guess it depends on what you're looking to get out of one of those games, but I've played both, and I tend to have more fun in HLL. Just looking at the player numbers too, there's tons more players in HLL than Isonzo. Something like 16-17x more players.
Comment has been collapsed.
Isonzo is the next iteration of Verdun / Tannenberg, so mostly smaller scale WW1 infantry trench battles.
HLL is basically a combined arms Battlefield 1942 descendant with more realism, but not on the sim side like Post Scriptum. Also we dont talk about Beyond the Wire.

Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice . That would be really good

thanks for this make me canceling it - earlier this year the best choice ever - this is again 3 games i would never play - would rather have a nice indie game than another shooter and rpg fest

really you think i don't know that i just want my sub to end i haven't seen more than maybe 5 games i liked at all this year

yes but i don't want to be one of those people who seem pleased to have 2 years left and never take a month

My guess would be someone is double-ing down on those leaks and is creating a giveaway in advance with the hope that the creation date is saving him from the cut in CV.
(4 weeks remaining) https://www.steamgifts.com/archive/search?q=kingdoms%20of%20amalur
but just could be coincidence :D
edit:
same guy now did one for Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice too.
Now it can't be just a coincidence
Comment has been collapsed.
This is why we can't have nice things.
You know what's going to happen because of people like this? The "bundled" date on SG will probably have to be set to the date of the leak.
Comment has been collapsed.
sadly i wish one or both would not be in the bundle and screw them up bad
Comment has been collapsed.
Another skip if these games are legit. I already have Aiko. Amalur is the exact same as the original with a mediocre expansion pack. And I couldn't care less about online only games so Hell Let Loose is not worth it. I don't like that there's only 8 games now as the quality isn't what it used to be. I used to buy the monthly's far more. Now I skip too many. They need to do better, especially since sales aren't as good and bundles are far fewer than ever.
Comment has been collapsed.
Every now and again Humble has a good sale.. I want to keep my 20% but I have Amalur and one is an expansion. Hell Let Loose is a crappier squad.
Hopefully the last 5 make it worth.
Comment has been collapsed.
They actually cater to different niches. A more honest comparison would be HLL vs Post Scriptum but even those differ significantly if you are more discerning than a random RPG fan that sometimes wants to shoot stuff.

Where does that warning on Disciples come from?
It's definitely true (I'm currently having trouble with a key during a trade elsewhere) but I can't seem to find more information in the comments here... Do we have any news on the matter? Are people discussing it like, on reddit or somewhere?
Comment has been collapsed.
It was first reported on Barter.vg's Discord. Several people there checked the subs and discussed about this.
I didn't see any public announcement so far or any other kind of discussion, but if you do find one please do share it.
Lately they did several things behind their customers' back, for example they removed several keys from the purchase page of old bundles without any notice (you can read more about it here, here and here, and there was the case with a different game but I can't remember which one now).
They're now selling these Holiday Encore bundles when they don't even have keys for some of their games and even perhaps didn't even manage to restock yet the missing keys from the original bundles (The Holiday Encores are bundles released during the past months, relaunched again now at the same price to cash in a few more sales before the end of the year). In these bundles it also happens that some regions were allocated locked keys that they can't redeem, just like it happened now with Disciples (you can read more about it here).
Comment has been collapsed.
Regardless of what kind of person the Domina dev is, people paid for that product and Humble had no right to remove the key from their purchase page.
Those who did not reveal their key prior to this (or those who did not save it in their key spreadsheets) have no access to it any more.
As far as I know, Humble did not make a public announcement about their intention to remove these keys prior to actioning on it, which for me is acting "behind their customers' back".
There are already so many debates on this topic, let's not start a new one here, since it's just out of context.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's unprecedented and unjustifiable to hide a game key from your customers (who paid you for it) because the developer went on a journey to find the exact limits of Valve's patience.
It's not like they key were or would be revoked. Only the developer can ask Valve to deactivate any of keys, and since he's some form of "blacklisted for life", that would not happen. In other words, the keys are perfectly fine valid redeemable keys. (As far as I know, the developer has not made efforts to leak all Domina keys to the general public or anything like that.)
Obviously Humble decided they want to sever a business relationship that potentially reflects poorly on them... but what does that have to do with doing ??? with these now very valuable keys? Do you think a group of employees at IGN said "we will quit on the spot if HB don't delete all Domina keys from the database, [its developer] is the next Charles Manson"?
I doubt the people affected are content with having 20+ euros/dollars of their property confiscated. Depending on rarity and demand, it could or could not be worth triple digits in some distant future.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer so thoroughly, I really appreciate it :-)
I'll post here when (or if, I guess) I learn more on my side....

Ok so apparently Humble Bundle rereplaced the region-locked Disciples keys, looks like everything's now in order on that front!
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm actually having trouble revealing it right now. It just infinitely loads when I click "Get game on Steam".
Edit: It's fine actually. I think my browser is just having issues with the site. It was ok when I did it on my phone, although I used the same browser (Firefox)

A friendly heads-up that game keys for DEATHLOOP, which was part of your October 2022 Humble Choice monthly mix of games, are expiring January 2, 2024.
If you haven’t already done so, reveal your key today so you don’t miss out on your game. If you already revealed your key, you can disregard this notification. Comment has been collapsed.
It was odd to get this email from Humble, but in hindsight I don't recall Humble daying that DEATHLOOP had an expiration up front when the bundle went live.
So I suppose emailing everyone who got the bundle is the least they could do.

Question is if the deadline is just to reveal the key (and save it somewhere else) before Humble removes it from your account (yes, they will remove it even if you had revealed it), or if the keys are going to be revoked by the developer/publisher.
I suggest you write down/save the revealed key somewhere safe just in case.

Keys from Fanatical Prestige Collection Build Your Own Bundle (September 2023) or Fanatical Mystery bundles might or might not have the same deadline.

October 2022 Humble Choice
View this bundle on: ITAD - Barter.vg
📅 Important dates
💳 October 25th, 2022: AUTOCHARGE DATE (for subscribers only)
📆 November 1st 2022: Next Choice Bundle release date (first Tuesday of every month)
⚠️ Region lock ⚠️
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope
Disciples: Liberation
Epic Chef
Railroad Corporation
DEATHLOOP, Monster Train, Monster Train: The Last Divinity DLC, Maid of Sker, Golf Gang have no region locks (ROW for everyone).
⚠️⚠️⚠️ EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE for Disciples: Liberation⚠️⚠️⚠️
In Dec 2022, for ROW purchases, the unrevealed keys for Disciples: Liberation have been replaced with new ones. In some cases when the key was already revealed, a new entry was added.
These keys are REGION LOCKED {sub/639971} (RU/CIS + India + Turkey + LATAM + SEA), which means that people who are in ROW regions WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REDEEM IT.
This is likely a temporary mistake of key assignment by Humble and will probably be fixed.
Any keys you copied before this accidental replacement have not been revoked.
The first batch of correct keys has not been reported as revoked yet.
The second batch of incorrect region locked keys has not been reported as revoked yet.
It remains to be seen if another change will restore the original set or bring out a third batch of keys for Disciples: Liberation.
