First they take away our choice. Now they take away our surprise (monthly leaks). Are you still excited about what allegedly is considered to be "the best bundle" of the month?

View Results
[I like the spotlight game(s)] Nice lineup and even if the spotlight games are 2 years old, it’s still much cheaper than buying them during sales.
[Only with limited deal] My poor wallet is still Surviving the Aftermath of the Easter expenses and would probably not take yet another push. Better wait and see if any discount coupon will be allocated later this month.
[Happy] Those are 8 pretty solid games, IMO. I’ve always wanted to try Planet Zoo / Command & Conquer and now I finally can!
[Neutral] Not the best bundle, but all around, not a terrible one either. I’m not really sure if it warrants a purchase or not.
[Pause] Considering that I have to pause my subscription every month, wouldn’t it be so much easier to have a 'Resume subscription' button instead?
[Disappointed, lineup] Doing Jurassic World Evolution with DLCs right before Planet Zoo without DLCs smacks of utter laziness.
[Disappointed, Origin] When will they finally learn that we don’t want Origin keys when the game is on Steam?
[Canceling the subscription] …and I don’t even have any regrets about that.
[Choicetato] I'd rather go back to having 10-12 niche indie games that I mostly never heard of than 8 bigger titles that don’t interest me anyway.

F. forgot to cancel and got charged 11.99, gonna contact support.

My guess is Journey to the savage planet. I bought it for 0.15€ thanks to twitch (gog key).
I don't think the June bundle is going to be amazing seeing how many people (me included) got a 2 months at 6€ discount.

The hint is the emoji at the end of the message. Previous month had a lion head as emoji and Planet Zoo was part of the bundle. One month before that was a ninja star and we got Ghostrunner. Hence the speculation...

Looks like HB bring games for the choices right from a dump, The games are always unexpected because everyone forget about it, and HB pick them up at the same moment. And the only way to predict new games is to think about what you need less right now.

what do you mean?

Comment has been collapsed.

And what did you expect? To give out brand new AAA games for dirt cheap?
Overall you pay something over 1 EUR for one game...Part goes to humble, part goes to charity and only little bit goes to devs.

So of course its going to include games that either need boost in popularity or has achieved its sales targets and can easily go for cheap. I mean Im not saying the quality is great (iv been skipping a lot as well), but its nothing unpredicted.

Yeah I think you are right, but there are a lot of old but great games that cost nothing, it is not necessary to bring forgotten recent games

2 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah, I would love to see some older great games as well.

Probably devs are not keen on putting even old games in the bundles.. Sadly..
But usually the value drops drastically after bundling, so maybe some of the devs who still get some flow of new buyers don't want to lose that as well

I think due to this reason bundles as such dont really have a long life left.. Maybe some periodical expensive bundles.. The hype has gone away and devs are back to wanting to sell individually.

2 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

When Choice/whatever it was called originally launched, they made a point of at least trying to get one fairly new AAA or AA game into bundles each month. I think the last 'fairly recent' release they scored was Dirt 5, but then that was struggling to sell at retail so that probably inspired that...

I think GamePass has ruined the charm...

2 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah... the intentions where fine but I think most of the people realized its not something they can feasibly uphold.. Just like the promise of not intervening with bundles as such after the IGN takeover

So in the end even AAA where either as you said - games that struggled at retail - or some that already had brought in enough money so devs could afford to push marketing at the cost of revenue

PS. of course Im generalizing here.. maybe there were some newer and good releases among all of the bundles.. but I feel in general my statement upholds.

I bet they are just trolling the people on this forum that were all only guessing Star Wars games (it says: y'all guessed wrong, then they put the stormtrooper helmet that they deleted).
I am still pretty sure it is The Outer Worlds since they hint their headliner through the jacket of the game.
Ghostrunner was hinted with a ninja, Planet Zoo with a lion (they could've put any animal but they decided to go with this one). The only jacket with both an alien, a ringed planet and a plane, is this one. From the left to the right!
I might be wrong but the game has some DLCs and a sequel has been announced.

From what I can tell, the message which you quote was posted 2 minutes before the message which I quoted. So the new emoji ("small plane") was added to help figure out the game. I don't think many people would have guessed Squadron before this emoji was posted, but I could be wrong.

I would recommend checking if you weren't unpaused by HB - I was unpaused by them for the second month in a row today and instead of resume subscription I had "select games" ready

2 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Looks like they've made habit of unpausing a few hours early (while the old bundle is still running). I can confirm that I also have "select games" ready right now and that the same thing happened to me last month. As long as they're unpausing me after auto-charge it should not make any difference, it's just confusing, that's all. Note: even when there's "select games", it doesn't really let you select any games unless you also pay for the bundle.

I also think it is probably just a graphical issue and that it doesn't change anything ... but let's be honest, it is better to be safe than sorry, especially if you have some months prepaid and it doesn't need to go through charging process

2 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Of course it's a good idea to stay vigilant. It's just what exactly do you propose we do? Last month when this happened I put it back on pause right away, and got a mail that I'm skipping the April bundle, then a few hours later when the May bundle was released I remained paused - meaning I couldn't actually pause the May bundle because I was already paused. That whole unpausing early and manually re-pausing put me in a really bad situation, because I had to check all the time to make sure to not end up buying the May bundle after all, since - technically - I had paused for the April bundle twice and not for the May bundle. I guess, this time I just wait for the new bundle and only then I'll pause.

2 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

To clarify, pausing, or "skipping a month" as Humble calls it nowadays, only makes sense before the auto-charge date.

As mentioned in the original post:

💳 May 31st, 2022: AUTOCHARGE DATE
📆 June 7th 2022: Next Choice Bundle release date (first Tuesday of every month)

So pausing after May 31 does not do anything for May Bundle, because Humble won't try to auto-charge anyone on June 7.
