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.
It's way too late for so many words.
If you have a steady income and enough money to spend on your hobbies then sure, why don't you stay subscribed? If you have other hobbies you'd like to pursue atm then do that. Ah shit I don't have anything good to say it seems. Well, I hope you can make a good decision and thank you very much for the giveaways.

You could always buy and sell the whole bundle on Group Buys if you don't want it or not buy and buy any games in the bundle that you would want on Group Buys. I tend to go the second route when unsure but almost every time I have seen someone sell a bundle at $12, they sell it almost immediately.

Arrrgh, too much letters for me in the morning...
Well, last year Summer titles in Monthly were generally seen as underwhelming, so who knows, maybe you'll be lucky and if you skip it you won't lose anything. Or maybe the learned from past mistakes?

Huh, interesting... This is an approach I have taken more and more recently but I never thought about applying it to religion where i flipflop between calling myself agnostic and atheistic

I see you have a Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO). I used to have that too, and I bought a lot of bundles when I only wanted one or two in the bundle, but now I'm regretting it, and I have too much backlog. So now, my decision for the monthly is solely based on the free game, Stellaris, which was on my wishlist. The supporting cast, I can simply give away here. If I get another game that I like, great, but that wasn't my motivation, and I doubt I'll subscribe again unless there's another good free game.
Besides, the monthly bundles have been meh lately, and I find more games that I like on their weekly bundles anyway, like Beholder. Unfortunately, I didn't get the BTA because the price went up too fast and now it's more expensive than the price on Steam, so thank you for this GA. :)
