Clearing out my Humble keys.

I need to make a decision on Humble Monthly. March had a game I wanted as it's big title, April had one game I really wanted and one I took on a whim, and this last month was just the pits in my opinion with one game I only sort of want. But many previous ones I didn't get turned out to be generally pretty good after the fact. Do I decline to get the next month, I have Stellaris (it's pretty decent until you get to the late game)? But then if I do, how much do you want to bet that it's a great supporting cast?

Should I adopt a sort of Pascal's Wager? Given the modest cost compared to my current income, is it not rational to wager on the rest of the games including several I'd like? If I buy, and regardless of it they are good or bad, my loss is finite. Whereas if I don't buy and they're bad, then it doesn't matter. Whereas if I don't buy and they're good, I'm missing out on a great deal on indie games I'll have to wait for another sale for. Like Pascal arguing that the rational human wagering on God existing based upon the finite cost and either infinite reward or infinite suffering, shouldn't I wager on the old white bearded flying spaghetti game in the sky just in case? I don't necessarily agree with Pascal, my personal inability to decide on a divine isn't aided or hindered by any risk or reward and I have the utmost respect for those who can make a reasoned decision on the topic, in either direction.

Anyway, that's a lot of typing, no thanks are necessary: I'm most likely not going to play these games, so you taking them is better than the keys going to waste.

Given the large amount of games, 58% of which are unplayed in your library I think it won't hurt you too much if you pass for one month, except if you really think, that you won't be intersted in any of them.
I know it's tough to stop collecting if there's a good deal, but sometimes I myself think, that I might just be collecting for the sake of it...
