Every month, Humankind comes together to ponder a Choice purchase. What do you pick?
So we get this sub:
https://steamdb.info/sub/990156/
Which as mentioned in the table, it's equivalent to this bundle:
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/37299/HUMANKIND_Definitive_Edition/
I've checked and the sub contains the same items as the bundle:
https://steamdb.info/bundle/37299/
Thus, wouldn't it be possible to make a giveaway for the bundle with a key from HB Choice April? Wouldn't it be perfectly permissible as long as you're giving what you're put in the giveaway's name?

Sure it would. But that's a bundle, which aren't indexed by the API and thus not by SteamGifts. You can verfify by looking up the id 37299 on the giveaway creation page. And there is no other equivalent of the Definitive Edition either. On SteamGifts, there is only the base game and the individual DLCs.

So subs/packages are indexed but bundles not? I've been here 4 years and I didn't know that. Ok I get it now, thanks for the explanation. I understand now why X-Morph Complete Pack, Amnesia duo, and others weren't able to be given as they were, instead they had to be given as a single item from the bundle.

There is a very high probability that this is not the case but:
Could someone owning The Callisto Protocol kindly check, if you can purchase the deluxe edition on Steam with a "complete your collection/bundle" discout type of thing?
The game itself and the deluxe edition are on sale on steam right now.

You can see this for yourself on the Store Page.
Look for example at Tomb Raider
https://store.steampowered.com/app/203160/Tomb_Raider/
It has Tomb Raider Definitive Survivor Trilogy and Tomb Raider GOTY which both are the type where it gets cheaper with everything you allready own.
Callisto Protocol does not have this.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's easy to check. If the name of the pack has the word "BUNDLE" in light blue next to it (like the Tomb Raider bundles described above), it is a Complete-your-set bundle. If it doesn't (like the Callisto Deluxe Edition), it is a must-purchase-together bundle.

From the store page of the dlc
"ABOUT THIS CONTENT
Three of the most interesting figures in French history can join your game as Agitators, exclusive to owners of the Victoria 3 Expansion Pass and Victoria 3 Grand Edition, as well as those who pre-ordered Victoria 3: Voice of the People."
Pretty sure we just got the standard edition.

NOICE and the dlc is basically the actual ending so yea.....
Comment has been collapsed.
I get why games offer DLC economically speaking but man, their purpose is to expand on the main game. You should be able to play any game without the need of extra content to actually finish and enjoy the base experience.
If extra content is story related base game wise (not expanding on the already existing experience, but being an important and missing piece of the actual unfinisehd product itself), than it should have been included from day one.
... and selling difficulties? This is just ridiculous. Not the first one to do it , but always a shame when it happens.
In this case it is no wonder The Callisto Protocol got "humbled"
(Nothing new but it is always good to talk about these greedy acts of publishers and developers. It reminds me of deliberately consuming games rather then plainly collecting them.)
And I gladly accept your invitation!

Is there a free promotion somewhere? I just noticed a bunch of people creating giveaways for it today. I'm not sure why so many were just created today instead of being spread out more randomly since the release of the bundle.

Thanks, I always forget about that thread. I don't use Twitch or really any social media, so I have no idea who "that one twitch streamer" is. I guess it doesn't really matter (for me), since I am not going to watch Twitch to try and get one. I'm sure I will find the game in another bundle sometime in the future. I don't mind waiting with my massive backlog of games to play :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the info, but I don't use Twitch and don't really want to try and figure out how idling it to get games works. I think I'll just play the games I already own and wait for this one to show up in a cheap bundle. I don't mind waiting, even if it takes years.

I'm sort of confused why they included Fashion Police Squad in both the leak and the actual bundle. Grateful they did I guess, but still on the fence about the other games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably as a control mechanism, to see if any of the leakers had reach high enough to get the actual games from someone who knew what the games would actually be. Like if someone leaked the actual games, they'd know that e-mail was not the only leak spot, but by using a mix of both true and false they can have an idea if all different leakers got the games from the same source or not. If they provided all fake games and no true games, it's likely that if there was a rat leaking at hb, they'd tell their source to skip leaking, but being given at least one true leak, then they leak maybe only the "for sure" games maybe like that one, ignore the fakes, and wait for the other unleaked games. Kinda like providing damage control for those who have an insider to see if anyone points out just those specific games and not fake leaks. So likely to help them narrow the source of leaks from different leakers. However, I think we all saw that all the leakers including billibilli were using the same source, that being the e-mail link. So basically they build their rep on hb's mistake that was likely shared with just a few people who figured it out and kept it to themselves, and by not sharing it with other people they built a reputation. Likely we'll have no leaks now, but we'll see. If we do, it means there's likely an employee leaking that.

The leaks always came from the same "source", the image file and filename of the month... Until this last month the official image that was supposed to be sent to the mails was like this:
·Choice_January2024.jpg (or simmilar naming)
This last month, they sent the usual images with:
·Choice_April2024.jpg
But then sent the actual month image like this:
·Choice_sadcSDCd.jpg
So that is the reason why the leaks where completly wrong this month.
Now noone knows what will happen this next month.
Comment has been collapsed.
They're experimenting with coupons at the moment, so my guess is if there's any coupons it'll be next tuesday.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup. I think that TheTimmaeh is correct with saying they are experimenting to see if people just waited last minute for coupon and would buy for full price either way.
I would guess new coupons would come after a month or two only. After they have gathered some statistics on whether they lost sales or not.
Comment has been collapsed.
Received an email with no coupon inside, so I doubt that we'll get any coupon this month too

We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie is about 80% in almost all official stores (50% off on Steam), until the 6th of May. Do we have a candidate for May Humble Choice here?
Comment has been collapsed.
Last chance to cancel / pause your subscription before autocharge tomorrow.
Comment has been collapsed.
They probably saw the data showing that a lot of subs joined in the very last days in coincidence with the coupons release, or they have enough choice users or the games publishers have signed a deal for only that listing price with no more price reductions, who knows.
Comment has been collapsed.
Does it say "Paused Membership" here: https://www.humblebundle.com/user/subscriptions/humble_monthly/billing
Got an email from Humble Bundle titled: "Your Humble Choice subscription is paused"?
If you don't want the bundle then don't reveal the keys and contact Humble Bundle and ask for a refund.
Comment has been collapsed.
This happened to me too.
I pause Choice, go through the pause button twice (first one asking me if I'm sure, next offering me £1 off), and it takes me to my settings page which definitely says my next payment will be in May, but I got no email and didn't think much of it.
This is the second time as well, they refunded me the first time last year, not sure if they'll do it again.
edit: They've already refunded me, very nice.
Comment has been collapsed.
just happened to me as well i know I canceled after the april joke
Comment has been collapsed.
you can get a refund if you didnt use any keys. had the same thing happen ages ago
Comment has been collapsed.
If you click "reveal the key" then it's done, you can't "pack it back" into a humble-gift (at least not without asking support).
If you click "gift to a friend" you'll have to provide an email and they'll send an email to recipient to claim the game.
But Humble kinda hates when you use the "gift to a friend" option, especially if you gift more than one friend, they even banned accounts for suspecting them to be resellers, so it's much safer to just reveal a key and send it like that.
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean what you said is self-explanatory... I'm asking how to get this option reveal/gift to a friend in the first place...
Edit: For example, Do I need to select game 1 by 1 instead of in bulk? (Saw a reddit thread 3 years ago suggesting this)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I meant "no bulk for gift selecting", you can select them all and claim for yourself, but AFAIK gifts are one by one.
And by "click on the game you want to gift", I meant directly on the game, without clicking the "select games" option in top right.
Comment has been collapsed.
No leaks for tomorrow, uh? Seems that they don't want to risk reputation like last month.

An Explanation on why the leaks were not real this time can be found here.
Feel free to also check madjoki's post for the actual URLs.
TL:DR: Humble intentionally released fake leaks to identify what the actual source of the leaks is. This means that we are unlikely to have leaks from now on.
