Humble Bundle survey (Humble Choice)

Well, this kind of survey has only one purpose: know how to better milk their customers. Not answering at all is the best way to go in my opinion.
By the way, their wording show that they are only caring about numbers and profitability. Not a single word about quality of games / critics / users feedbacks. Curated, they say, what a joke... Yes, I hate them for what they became

Higher number seems best for people who want cards, giveaway fodder, or trades, but I think the sweet spot is a lower total with more high quality games, but still room for some nice indie games. 7-8 sounds best to me

I opted for 5-6, but again, it's mostly because i think lower games = better quality. I can't keep on playing 11-12 new games every month anyway if i somehow got interested in them. But again, i usually like games that other people don't like, so having this amount lower my chance of getting the ones i will be really interested in.

Still, this also speak nothing since you won't know the quality of the games between all options.

more games = a greater likelihood at least one of them might be up your alley. this month 9 of 12 games are on my ignore list. Many months I skip because they are just not for me. If they had fewer games in the bundle, the cost per game might be higher or better quality, but a high quality game in a genre I cannot stand goes on the ignore list the same as an asset flip in that same genre. With more games, they can cover more genres.

I agree that price is not what matters here, there are many 60€ "AAA" games that I wouldn't want to touch with a ten feet pole and many 10-15€ games that I spent hundreds of hours playing. However, it's just a matter of tastes and I think that as a rule, more expensive games tend to be generally liked by a wider audience which makes them seem as higher quality, and it's true as well that for every cheap masterpiece there are a hundred cheap trash games I don't like either. For me, there's no correct answer to pick, as redundant as this statement is going to be, I like the games I like.

Then there's also another important factor, which is time. I just don't have time to play all the games I have or want, so as sad as it is, I need a really good deal to justify getting a game that I won't be touching in who knows how long. I've bought games that I haven't yet played and are collecting dust for years which went for cheaper later on (looking at you, The Witcher 3 GOTY) and that's a real bummer.

Other: 480 games for $0,5

I don't subscribe to Humble Choice, but I enjoy some cheaper indie games, so I would probably say around 9 to 12 games. I would prefer if they did some research and found good indie games to help bring to gamers attention rather than just pushing expensive AAA games. Maybe something like one of these:

Price per game (9-12 games, $240 each row)
60, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10
60, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10
60, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10
60, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10
60, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

i don't like games being added which are only a access page to buy a tone of dlc which either was missing from the base game or does not really matter but to have the "complete" game it does

1200 games for $12 (1 cent each), there's definitely enough trash on Steam to make it happen.

I answered them they should survey us on how much we appreciate every single game, every month. Their survey is far too simple.

I think it doesn't have to be an specific number. They should search for good games and the amount can vary from 6 to 12 each month depending on the games they tought we would like.

Quality > Quantity

buying more games lets u play more genres and gets u out of ur comfort zone

I don't see the e-mail; what is the title of the e-mail?

its simple, never before bundled games that dont take 20 minutes to finish

that vote doesn't make sense
but i personally prefer more AAA or better indie games
2nd vote should be fine, assuming each game is $60 and we actually get $240 value
but of course we know that's just BS

I would honestly answer "It depends" as the quality is what matters, but higher price doesn't always mean higher quality.
A well curated list is best.
I feel like because of this, this survey is flawed.

I don't really think more expensive game is equal to a better game, so I don't necessarily feel lowering the number for that reason would be great. Although if lowering the game number results in a higher cut to the devs/publishers and that makes them more willing to bundle games they usually wouldn't, I think that would be cool.

Nice thing about greater number is that more games means you're more likely to find something you like just in terms of a probability sense.

I think around 8-10 could maybe be a good number, and in general I think a variety of more expensive well known games and cheaper hidden gems is cool (which is kind of how the bundles are already anyways).

fewer but better games is what i would want. nothing lower than a 75 metacritic!

Hmmmmm.... In principle, (less games which are REALLY good) >>> (tons of poor games)... I mean, we already have tons of poor games have in our backlogs. :D

But price is not the same as quality; the $240 value means nothing since base prices feel almost arbitrary these days... :P

So the old cynical me is thinking: "we want to offer less games per month, so let us pretend it is the users that made us do so".

Cheers!

I actually prefer it the way it is.

They are putting a monetary value on it, as if more expensive = better quality. It does not. Some of the smaller indie games have been far more enjoyable than the bigger games in some cases.

If they reduced it to 5-6 games, there would be less to choose from. The chances of getting games in every bundle that actually suits your taste would be greatly diminished. As it is, I haven't skipped many monthlys because there's usually something in there that appeals to me, even if it's not the main titles. If they do this, it's inevitable that people will pause a lot more due to genre preferences and so on.

Let us choose our own games from the bundlestore. That would be great

Did the sliders always start the charity at such a low %?
From what math I did, it was well under 10%.
