As above, was wondering if games included in Humble's Monthly service are added to the bundled games list for giveaways.

They are ?
I thought HB Monthly games were not added to the list, if some of them are on the list it's for other reasons.

Alienwarearena was giving away a long term 50% off coupon for Talos stackable with regular discounts on Steam, so that's mainly the reason I guess.

Pretty much (which is to say, most of the time but not necessarily always). Searches for Dropsy and Chroma Squad have thrown up no matches, while as ambidot has stated, Alien Isolation and Talos Principle were added to the list due to different reasons.

As far as i remember, they will be added, if .. eh .. 2$ (as 12$/6games) is more than 95% off of the normal game price?
something like that ...

EDIT: well, that would work for Alien: Iisolation(50$ -> 96%) and The Talos Principle(40$ -> 95%) ^^

As far as i remember both games are on the list, cause of russian store price..not because of humble bundles.

A:I seems to be due to Monthly (other threads have nixed Russian pricing, and the timing of the bundling matched Humble Monthly's launch of it), Talos I believe was due to Russian prices.

At the very least, A:I would be the only example of a monthly that might be bundled because of monthly.

So, in summation, you definitely shouldn't usually have to worry about monthly games being added to the list- even if they are being added from monthly, they'd have to have very high retail to qualify for it, and most humble monthly games tend toward $10-20 retail, from what I've seen.
So, likely, you're probably not going to see more than one a month get marked, as a general guideline.

That kind of math doesn't really make sense, as other games in the monthly bundle are considerably cheaper. Any calculations should consider the total HB price ($12) vs retail price (in the case of A:I bundle, 50+20+6+10+15+25=$126, less than 91% discount) of all games. It's not like I can buy a single game for $2 (yes, except for A:I, the rest of that bundle was very disappointing and if I could, I would really just get A:I for $2 and throw away the rest)...

they aren't added, at least so far.

alien iso and talos are exceptions.
both got a huge discount in russia, and talos also had a stackable alienware coupon.

I think it's not a matter of them being in the monthly bundle but the individual games getting deep discounts in certain regions. For example Alien: Isolation didn't get bundled for being in the Monthly, but because the Russians (correct me if I'm wrong there) were getting it for pennies compared to its full retail price.
