New date for humble bundle choice

Closed
Exodust

Announcement from HB
"Just a heads-up: starting in March, we’re moving the day Humble Choice titles become available from the first Friday of each month to the first Tuesday. So get ready for new titles on March 2nd! Hype Dance"

Not sure if it is better or not?

only real difference it makes is that the wait from february's bundle to march's bundle is a few days shorter. after that, it'll go back to the normal 4 or 5 weeks in between. don't really know what their reasoning for it is. maybe something with their fiscal year.. i really don't know.

I actually liked Friday reveals. It was something to look forward to at the end of a week. Now it's supposedly early to mid week. Kinda anti-climatic. Ah well...

Makes no difference to me and don’t know why they bothered.

I think it was a due to issues with lack of support from Humble Bundle on the weekend after their biggest monthly seller launches

Oh. I'm not excusing it/justifying their decision. That was just what the HB subreddit was guessing.

Doesn't change much, but I wonder why they did it. Tuesday was the usual day for main/game bundles for a while now. I guess it has something to do with that.

I guess that is it -- doing this way, the Choice takes the spot for the usual bundles once a month, so people will not get disappointed anymore on "empty Tuesdays", and Humble can do one less "normal bundle" a month.

The question is how will this affect the billing day? cause that was the previous Friday before... but now it will be the previous Tuesday, or it will stay on Friday? :D

well i just paused it yesterday and it said I was gonna have to pay on tuesday so I'm guessing its moving to then. Good thing I caught it since I was being pretty lazy on pausing it this month

Good that the next choice bundle is coming sooner as I have skipped this month. After the March bundle the waiting time for the next bundle will be the same.

Since they refused to give me the 50%/6 months promo, I just pause every month and buy the games I want from resellers. In fact, I plan on doing the same even after summer. I couldn't care less :)

I would say I don't care but I feel like I'm going to get screwed a couple of times when pausing before my brain catches up.
