Is this lineup a trick ๐ญ or a treat ๐ญ?
I just love how developers throw a grenade in their own feet choosing region lock keys.
They simple make the bundle hard to sell, because everyone outside ROW knows they will end up with a unusable key.

But what else would you do with a game if you can't commercially resell it?
Comment has been collapsed.
I meant unusable but not in the classical meaning (maybe there's a better word for this... xD).
The struggle to find something to do with those keys if you won't use them is real. Like very real, for every key, even with good, rare or unbundled games. The South America is incredible large and populous and it has many countries. Yet, I can't find people to trade region locked keys. You won't believe I bought Tropico 6 for 1 TF2 key after one year the bundle has been released. If you don't use the key yourself, region locked keys are unusable, not by itself, but no one else wants it.

I got the $6 offer, but i cant finish my payment using Paypal / Credit Card, it said "Order Canceled. We can only sell a limited quantity of Month-to-Month Premium Plan. We have canceled your order and will not charge you. Please try again later."

lol. I think that's a grey move right there mate. You're still asking people to use your referral link. You would see a lot more people doing this if it was allowed. Just saying. Haha!

It might be considered a form of begging tho... As I see it, it's not that different than someone asking for a game. But anyway, I wouldn't count on that if I were you. I mean, most SG users who check the Choice threads are probably already on a plan and that referral thingy only works for never-before-subbed accounts.

I find it hilarious that they would send this coupon. No, I would not like to buy the next bundles in advance and give you room to make them even worse than this one if that's possible.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can I take profit of the coupon if I resume now but directly pause the month without paying this month? (I'd like to take profit of the coupon, BUT OTHER MONTHS, I don't like what they offer this month...)
Sorry if this has been previously asked, and thank you in advance.
Comment has been collapsed.
Doesn't work like that. In order to use the coupon you need to buy the bundle. When you buy the bundle, you'll be taken to the payment screen right away and there's no way to pause. And the coupon is timed so it'll expire before the next bundle gets released.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you, I'll pause again until Iconoclasts or Total War: Warhammer 2 come to choice.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, not that it helps, but you're not the only one ^^ Didn't receive the one mentioned above, and this month not even a discount when pausing (usually only receive a pause discount if I have actually skipped the previous month, and even then it is not guaranteed).
Probably varies with a series of factors... one of them being that if a person is already a long-time customer it doesn't pay off for them to offer any discounts, because the money already comes in (unless, of course, the regular customer consistently stops being regular).
Supposed customer retention tactics and profit management, it's part of every business model ยฏ\(ใ)/ยฏ
(there's also the remote possibility that it's all just random and chaos over there, just for giggles when they come over to read this thread)

No discount email for me either :(
Also they are kind of scamming people with their ads - if I log into Humble, there is a banner on the starting page saying you can get 12 games per month for 12$ but when I actually try to join they suddenly announce that it will cost 18$ per month.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope.
you would also need to buy the next month to keep it up, right? so you would pay for Games just in hope humble would finaly make a good bundle again to make it worth to have spent the money on the previous ones, right?

almost forgot to pause.
amnesia would be nice but the rest? garbage!

I'm waiting for the 28th to see Steam's Halloween sale. If it's good, I'll just buy the games I want there. If it's meh, then I'll grab the $6 for three months coupon.
Comment has been collapsed.
forgot to pause... and in their FAQ they mention their TOS that it's not refundable...
one day, i gonna completly cancel...
any existing script to auto-pause?
Comment has been collapsed.
I paused and I got the coupon too. Can you confirm is only for one month payment? I pay three months at time.. I'd like to keep it :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Got the coupon, okay for 3 months for โฌ5,40 I'll bite.
Of course it freaked out and threw a billing error, because why wouldn't it. At least selecting a game and requesting the key popped up the payment window and I could manually pay it. (DO NOT remove all your payment options or you'll lose Classic.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, got the same error. Upon unpausing due to the coupon I was facing the billing error as well.
With having only one payment option possible I'll have to put some trust in the customer support.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea I only had one payment option as well. No amount of account checking/paypal login helped. But when I went to unlock a game it asked me to pay manually (with paypal login to authorize payment) and then the payment went through.
The billing error in the subscription section went away when I paid manually, as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
sadly this didn't work out for me, instead I was getting the message that the billing method got canceled or something like that.

How does this $6 for 3 months work with an existing anual subscription?
Comment has been collapsed.
Some people said they used the coupon after they changed.
I didn't tried yet.
10 euro not. But aroud 5 euro is tempting. But i'll lose the 3 months option... :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Also got coupon, but without notification on my email.
Comment has been collapsed.
How to redeem that? I unpaused to redeem, but... I don't see the option to get the deal? Do I have to buy new subscription? How can I buy, if I have next 3 months paid already?
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, thanks.
So that's a scam, then. Giving me something I cannot use, just to mock me. And then, what if someone would think it just worked and would maybe somehow cancel already paid subscription to buy new one or something. Especially that I know coupons that works after the checkout, so people would maybe think the same. Someone would have change billing cycle to 3 months or something, thinking it would work and actually lost what he already had bought.
That's the most stupid thing Humble is doing. And generally I would like to pay in advance e.g. 5 years and I can't, because Humble don't allow it. Not making any sense. Any other place let me do it.
