$12 for Hollow Knight, HITMAN™: The Complete First Season, and 7 Days to Die, that's a sound deal, eh?
Because you get the rest of $44 worth of games on 2 Nov.
Comment has been collapsed.
You've only made a mistake if you don't feel like you're getting your money's worth from the bundle.
Speaking solely for myself, I feel as though nearly every monthly bundle has been a great value (and I've paid the $12 full price for all but one).
Comment has been collapsed.
So you get Hollow Knight (already had that for a while now) Hitman (not even GOTY) and 7Days to Die (Early Access game with no update for 1 year now)
and that leaves the Bundle with $43 to spread across 5 games? (not counting the last Humble Original , we all know it will be there)
no wonder they are desperate and trying to keep people subscribed soo hard.
Free months , $6 months , and $25 for annual subscribers. they do all that to keep people in , and then they do this?
i am actually supposed to expect "quality" games when they only have $43 left to spread across 5 games?
Comment has been collapsed.
not this time , if you read the page it says the total worth is going to be $144
we already have $101 unlocked , which leaves us with only $43

The message is different - so the info relayed is different.
The old message (don't recall this specific month but going by past monthlies) read something like:
Subscribe and get these games plus others (Total MSRP $144)
The new message reads:
"Subscribe now and start playing these games (Total MSRP $99)"
"Total MSRP" in the first message is a calculation of ALL the games (early unlocks + ones to come).
"Total MSRP" in the new message is a calculation of ONLY the early unlocks.
i.e. the price of the full bundle hasn't changed (from the info we have) from $144.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think that the total MSRP featured there ($99.00) is the retail value for the 3 early unlocks (somehow they calculate it differently than me, since if I add up the individual prices I get $100.97). On the other hand, that would mean that they initially calculated it very wrong (at $144). Or maybe their mistake was to put the final MSRP of the bundle there ($144) for the early unlocks and they adjusted it now.
Comment has been collapsed.
well , something is fucky with this Monthly.
i am honestly leaning towards the second option with that they are removing the final MSRP of the bundle. probably removed it to increase sales due to a lot of people pausing or just straight out canceling.
so i am going to go with the safe option and not get this month.

The problem is that the current roster of three is actually a good one. I want Hitman and my friend recommended me to play Hollow. Even with regional pricing there's no way I can get them this cheap (with 7DTD out of the equation).
I will probably still get this just for the sake of the initial roster.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's the actual messages that are different - not necessarily the value.
1st message something like: Subscribe and get these games plus more to come (Total MSRP $144)
New message: "Subscribe now and start playing these games (Total MSRP $99)"
"Total MSRP" in the current message doesn't refer to the same thing as in the previous message.

If you sell them, what did you sent to the buyers the HB links or just direct the keys only?
Just for reference.
(I assume you don't own them already and didn't intent to activate it at all)
Comment has been collapsed.
If I didn't have HTIMAN already, or it included the Patient Zero DLC (which IMHO is way overpriced as it forces you to also pay for the cosmetics) then I'd be all over this.
However, not interested in 7 Days to Die, and I'm not desperate to play Hollow Knight right now. Whatever else turns up I can probably get from GroupBuy (though I'm rarely quick enough).
So it's another pass from me.

So now humble monthly is marked as 'bundled' and not give full cv?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, and the CV from older Monthlies has also been readjusted to partial CV, regardless of the total Retail value of the bundle.
In short, the reason for this decision is the low price of these games on the grey market.
There are several discussions about this, one of which can be found here.
Comment has been collapsed.
do they realy need to announce, that they add bundled games to the bundle list?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes they do, they changed the policy because of the flood of filler games out of the monthlies and decided to add those bundles retroactively to the bundle list. There have been discussions about those dollar bundle games etc. which also haven't received any official statement. As I said, I have barerly seen such a lack of communication on a site which depends (!) on members that contribute to the system.
Comment has been collapsed.
they changed? i dont think so... its Not new that it sometimes tskes longer till they get added to the bundled list. it happened before the monthlies as well. the only difference: People thought they could farm much cv and are now angry
Comment has been collapsed.
According to SG rules, a game should receive partial CV only if the price one pays for the bundle is less than 5% of the retail value of the bundle (sometimes this calculation is done per tier, therefore T3 games can still receive full CV in the end). Based on this rule, the unbundled Monthly games should receive full CV because the Retail value of a Monthly is usually higher than $216 (considering that one pays $10.80 for a Monthly).
The general complaints are related to the fact that SG breaks their own rules in adding these games to the partial CV list. These rules should probably be updated to reflect the current situation.
Comment has been collapsed.
could you please tell me, where it is exactly written, that it has to be at least reduced by 95%? cause i cant find it in the faq or guidelines. there is only written:
"Games typically receive no value or reduced value when they're featured in bundles, heavily discounted, or available for free in online promotions."
but no percentage that has needed to be reduced but also
"Keep in mind, the asterisk icons are just for reference, and the value of a game can be backdated if we need to make retroactive changes."
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry to disappoint you but I couldn't find that post again, despite me checking the forums / google thoroughly. I know it's somewhere (it's on top of my mind) but I couldn't manage to find it. Anyways, maybe they modified it since I last saw it.
There are many other tools depending on this rule (chart makers, CV calculators...), so I am pretty sure that this info is written down somewhere.
Comment has been collapsed.
i know we allways told, that it would be 95% but the question is, did somebody just guessed it and we other repeated it or did cg said it would be 95%?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, your understanding is correct. This change happened in September I think, when they started to retroactively add Monthly games to the partial CV list. I think by now, roughly all the Monthly games from March 2018 till now give partial CV.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is a great looking bundle to me, probably gonna buy it. I won 7 days previously. Its a great game. Hollow Knight has free DLCs a must to support such great devs whom delivers quality to players because we both appreciate each other. The games is/will easily makes into my Wishlist. Cheers~

Comment has been collapsed.
Is this an offer you got by email or something: "Buy 3 months and get Kingdom Come for free"? Or are you having a guess at next month's early unlock? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess it's that time of the month already. I don't have anything yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Offer by email, apparently. They're also sending this one (which I got; would have preferred the KC:D one I think): ""Don't miss this exclusive offer! When you purchase three months of Humble Monthly you'll get $15 in Humble Store credit.""
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, the desperation continues :D Wouldn't mind the KC:D one myself. Though sooner or later it'll be bundled anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
Paid regularly on time, or earlier (just paid this unlock yesterday) never got any kind of monthly deal, only SALE! SALE! SALE! PRE-ORDER! from their email :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, it seems that regular or yearly subscribers really get screwed over by these offers. Generally I'd say it's better to pay month by month and always buy the bundle at the last minute. Though it can be tough to wait sometimes.
Comment has been collapsed.
There's also the Dollar exchange rate rising, so I couldn't really wait until the last minute while the price is increasing each day for me. It's good if I got the deal, nightmare if I don't. Gamble~
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, tough situation. I guess ultimately you get the games you want, so that's the important thing, but they really shit on their loyal customers with these promotions.
Comment has been collapsed.
They already took it back anyway:
Earlier this morning we accidentally emailed you about a promotion with the subject line 'Get $15 in Store credit FREE when you subscribe to Humble Monthly'.
Unfortunately you are not currently eligible for this promotion. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this mistake.
What a shit show. I almost bit (even though I really don't want to be locked in for more than a month at a time again), glad I decided to sleep on it first.

"Earlier this morning we accidentally emailed you about a promotion with the subject line 'Get Kingdom Come: Deliverance FREE when you subscribe to Humble Monthly'. Unfortunately you are not currently eligible for this promotion. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this mistake."
If there was anyone that should be eligible that would have been me... I didn't miss one monthly since they started doing them -.-
Comment has been collapsed.
That's the stupid thing. People who regularly subscribe miss out on these offers. They are basically encouraging you to never pay for a yearly subscription. A month by month subscription ends up being the better deal. They should really add some sort of loyalty reward program for people like you.
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't check my promotions folder for days where the Humble offers are. I chance upon $20 for annual plan. $5 lesser than last month for a Day! Lol!
Wonder if its fate or something its only for a day but I decide to check the date for when I'll be charged for Monthly yesterday. STILL, its $5 lesser so I rather continue on month by month. I probably would have a promotion in the promotions folder but I've been spending time here rather than checking it. Cheers~
Comment has been collapsed.
That is so lame. I do wonder how they determine who is "eligible" for these promotions. In this case, it seems more likely that they just sent these promotion emails out too soon or something, since other people are getting the same emails.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I have no idea. The original mail said "Current multi-month subscribers are ineligible", but I'm not one of those.
I'm a subscriber since the very first one. I took an offer for $10 wallet if I sign up for a year (which I did), which was before the IGN announcement. I was never eligible for any of the $20 or $25 offers that started happening a week after I signed up for a year.
I'm just glad I didn't jump on it immediately, because I just know their support would have blown me off again because I traded away my Overwatch key ....
I usually pay early but still haven't this month, because I'm still trying to convince myself I should just quit completely and forget about FOMO. I do want Hollow Knight though, and what if it finally has Thumper that was supposed to be in July's originally? >_> With every single mess they add to the pile (and the pile grew big this past year) I'm getting closer though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Humble relies on FOMO and "what if" to keep subscribers :D I'd say if you're genuinely interested in the early reveal then it's usually a good deal regardless of the unlocks. I've also purchased a monthly before because I was certain that a particular game would be revealed (and it wasn't). Remember that even if you don't get a bundle and you regret it after the reveals then Groupbuys can be very useful! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh yeah, I know all that (and have used groupbuys in the past on the rare occasion that I paused-a-month).
This just left an even worse taste in my mouth than I already had. I can't afford the Monthly easily to begin with, so there aren't many reveals that are worth the price by themselves to me.
Today, my daughter got the KC:D offer on her account. Sure, I could try to use that for myself and break Humble's ToS and probably get into trouble with their support again. I'd rather not though. And I'm feeling bad about it either way anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
You could gift the 3 months from your daughters account to your account. Then surely you can create a gift link for KC:D as well and redeem it yourself. That wouldn't be against their ToS surely?
Comment has been collapsed.
Since they both have the same payment method, I'm sure Humble will consider that as "gifting to myself when I wasn't eligible" or something. And I'd rather not deal with their support again, not a single support interaction in the past year was positive. (And no, I'm not a trader/reseller.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that's fair enough. The less you can interact with Humble support the better. They consider all SG users to be traders/resellers anyway ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have received the email. I just have finished an anual plan and stopped the renovation.
But If I click the link in the email with the offer, the 3 month plan doesn't says I'm going to receive KC: Deliverance..... seems that HB doesn't want my money.....

Comment has been collapsed.
I want to ask , so i use 3 Month Plan from their promo with 1 free , can i choose which monthly to get or they are in a row( i already got Sep, Oct and can i choose from that plan to skip the Nov and get Dec for example), also my second question is i already paid for the 3 months plan and got these 2 months and now if i cancel my plan than what? for sure i will get the Nov, but what will happened with my third month to get?
Comment has been collapsed.
You should be able to skip a month by pausing your subscription. When you cancel your plan you're just cancelling the renewal of your subscription and will still receive however many months you've paid for.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I don't want to believe that to be honest that is why I didn't mention that :P
And on the other hand that is not the leak I am talking about. They sent mails to people who have paused/unsuscribed from monthly the exact value of the HM. That is a true leak this might be a typo that they didn't notice on start since the last monthly was around that value but we will see :)
