Every month, Humankind comes together to ponder a Choice purchase. What do you pick?
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow looks really interesting, other than that, big skip for me

Just by checking the reviews in the games shows the lack of quality... Well, a month saved i guess.
Comment has been collapsed.
They just got an instant skip is what they did versus a buy. Hope they enjoyed their little joke because it cost them money.
Comment has been collapsed.
with that quality, guess it's time for IGN to throw bunch of coupons. Unlike January and March

A lot of wishlisted games for the first time on last 2 years. A big yes for me

Only interested in coromon and probably fashion police squad

Looking at the explanation of the fake leak, it seems like Humble hit me in the back...
Comment has been collapsed.
Sales won't be nearly as high as March. Coupons should be coming.

This lineup turned out to be a better selection for me since i have most of the fake leak ones. I have the one year discount deal still in effect (I know there are better deals, but that is what I have), so the games are that much a better fit for me. Activated 6, 2 were wishlist, and the remaining 2 were on GF wishlist, so easy deal to make

The Callisto Protocol would have been good if it was the complete edition because the true ending is supposedly locked behind a paid DLC.
Victoria 3 is DLC fest so, the usual drill.
The others are ranging from Above average to crap, so it'll be a pass most likely (unless I can fetch good in trade)

Humankind: The Great Zimbabwe Wonder isn't showing up for me on my Amplitude Rewards page. Apparently you need to be subscribed to their newsletter to receive it.
So log in, go to https://account.community.amplitude-studios.com/account/newsletter , and turn it on there. Once that's done, the DLC will pop up in your rewards page.

Orbital Bullet instead of Callisto?
A moment of silence for the Japanese people out there.
Comment has been collapsed.
The game isn't available for sale in Japan. It's likely banned due to its gore.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know why. I was not really asking tbh I was expressing the dissatisfaction towards they switched it to the most irrelevant game ever.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, my bad.
And yeah... that was a heck of a downgrade...
Comment has been collapsed.
Which is funny because Deadspace 2 remake is still on sale, lol
Comment has been collapsed.
I dunno if I would pay 4 bucks for the bundle without it. That's BS. Not a strategy fan obv but even if I was this bundle wouldn't excite me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that happens a lot to Japanese customers. I remember that the first month I was going to buy was the month wen The Quarry was the headliner. BUt then I found out that Japan subscribers wouldn't get House of Ashes, lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
I redeemed all the keys, and only after that checked titles. Worse bundle ever for me, maybe, b/c I have too many strategies from HB that I did not even run once.
Comment has been collapsed.
I redeemed all the keys, and only after that checked titles.
😱 why would you do that?? Did you think the leaks were that trustworthy or was it just a mistake?
Yeah I know some people love strategy games but just judging by often they end up in the Monthly these past months, I can tell it's not a majority.
Comment has been collapsed.
IDK, I just did that. Next time I'll double-check before redeem!
Comment has been collapsed.
First time in months i actually feel happy with the bundle.. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I knew Callisto protocol would be in the monthly at some point. I predict that these will be coming soon: Sifu, Atlas Fallen, Evil West, Thirsty Suitors, Lil Gator
Comment has been collapsed.
This could never happen if HB would be a little more intelligent and put the choice every 1st day in the month... Thats why we liked the leaks since we have to wait again till 7th may. Ridiculous.
Comment has been collapsed.
What an absurd logic. Why does it matter which day of the month they publish the next Choice? Whatever day they'd pick, someone could still "leak" it one day earlier. And people would be as desperate to 'know' the games in advance.
Edit: And if your concern is just about April. The 'leak' happened March 29th this time. So really, it's pointless to suggest that shifting release dates would make any difference.
Comment has been collapsed.
The 'leak' happened March 29th this time.
A nitpick but the leak was there on March 28 in some Discord channel, just not yet on Reddit. 😛 I have not found anyone mention the fishy leak on March 27, but it might have been posted in some places where leakers share their secrets. 🐱👤 Who knows? 🐱🚀👽
Comment has been collapsed.
My bot detected leak at 21:00 UTC, guess that hour earlier :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed, 9 pm UTC is an hour earlier, as the screenshot uses Central European Summer Time (UTC+1), which gives 22:20 UTC.
Comment has been collapsed.
RIP leaks. Now, we have to wait a full week into May to see the games for Choice.
Comment has been collapsed.
There may be leaks but nobody will believe the credibility of any leaker until they start getting them right again. Should probably stop posting pictures of the games directly from Humble marketing and maybe limit it to the headliners.
Comment has been collapsed.
That is what BBK had been doing for years. Pretty smart.
Comment has been collapsed.
whats the difference if its 1st or 15th day of month? u still wait same time between bundles xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Dammit. No luck with Terraformers in South Korea :/
Comment has been collapsed.
A bit underwhelming. Also, have 3 games from this bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
inb4 IGN sued by Sony into oblivion for loss of potential sales of Returnal.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sony probably has the lawyers to do that, but I doubt they care. It's worse for small indie devs they screwed over by doing this though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hum... okay. I gotta admit I'm disappointed, I was hoping to get Valhalla and Blacktail in a Choice bundle. And apparently it's HB that trolled us with those leaks on top of that? XD That wasn't the best April's Fools prank ever, they should have made it more obvious it wasn't real. The fake lineup was quite plausible to me. Ah well... I'll be saving money once again, it's insta-pawse for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't think it was a troll move and more an experiment for them to see if that is how leakers got the leaks out right every month. If they put games that are absurdly questionable, then the leakers will be on to them, like you would be too.
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean... they could've just swapped one game to test it out instead of basically swapping out the whole thing. It was a troll job by Humble.
Comment has been collapsed.
They did swap one game a few times. Not sure if on purpose to annoy BBK.
Maybe they were waiting for April to pull a major prank by swapping everything but one game!
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I know. They could've just done that again with only one headliner to confirm the source of the leak, if that was their goal. Idk why they "pranked" us. I'm never going to buy any of those games now, because I'm convinced that they'll eventually show up in a bundle. They did more harm than good.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since the "fake" leaks came out, Returnal and Noita have been put on the "scared to buy" list because what if they do come ? I swear most of the time when I buy something it ends up in a bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Most online stores for games have a return policy though so if something does get in a bundle like the Monthly, you can get refunded of your original purchase.
Comment has been collapsed.
Many of those stores only have a return policy of 2 weeks though. For all we know they could get bundled in 2 months. I'm not buying those games at the prices they usually go for anyway, but the fake leaks were a strange choice by humble
Comment has been collapsed.
True. When it's just leaks a little before the bundle, you can still refund but most of the time you won't know soon enough.
Considering the sliding quality of the monthly though, I think most well reviewed AAA games are safe to buy lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Buy it and play it to minimize the problem, that's a good way to get most out of the situation.
Comment has been collapsed.
i wonder how the game devs feel about the fake leaks cause that def hurt game sales
Comment has been collapsed.
Blame Humble or the leaker(s) or both? At least when the leaks are true, the devs/publishers get a portion of the bundle profits shortly after. The fake leaks will make people not buy those games for at least an extra month, and maybe more if they aren't in next month's Humble Choice.

yup, they also did this last month but didn't even last way more than a day

Gone in a hour or two. Unlike last month I think there will be coupons besides the IGN one. There won't be a 3 month but i can see 6 bucks last week for this month.

Only took bit over 2 days... Clearly they got lot of pauses...
Comment has been collapsed.
I can smell a 3 months coupon this month... i will wait until the last day for see the better coupon.

they should actually put returnal next month, clearly

Sadly none of these methods work for me. The last one will probably work for those who have all the other bundle contents, but I don't. Add free license or Install (through website or steam console) throw an error.

Anyone else who did not get any e-mail about their subscription being unpaused (or that the new bundle even started)? I kinda forgot about it till now after I saw this thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
I received the "membership resumed" email, but not a promo email.

When a new choices launches, if you have skipped a month, you'll get an email that membership is resumed but will not be charged until the actual auto-charge date.
