The new Humble Bundle Monthly Bundle is here. Depending on your plan you can choose 3, 9 or 10 of the following games:
Enjoy!
pausing for my 3rd month in a row.. :o
Only reason I haven't cancelled yet is because I'm on the grandfathered pricing plan!
same here
I already cancelled long time back, tbf overpriced shit boxed as good deal.
Same.
I'd fully cancel but there's always the chance that eventually we'll get a good month and the classic price tag will have been worth holding on to.
Kind of kicking myself, if I had known there was a pause option I would have kept it as well but I only signed up for the Spyro/Crash/Cod bundle & cancelled after. Where was the pause option though?
It's under manage your subscription I believe.
They really hate you doing it too, you have to click about 3 or 4 times to confirm "yes I don't want this month" and you need to do so every single month. They even offer a $4 discount to try and prevent you from doing so.
But the quality of games just isn't there. Not that they're bad games, but generally there will only be x1 big game in the lot so if you have that already the remaining indie niche titles probably won't seem worth it to you.
I'm on the grandfatehred plans as well (10 game choice) just pause it for a month.. that's what I did last month.. this month most of those game have been on my want list for a long time so I'll start my subscription again.
Don't know if it's targeted, but when I was pausing for months in a row, I would get a "$3 off offer to unpause" near the end of the month while I was paused. If you're in no rush, it might be worth trying for that.
I got a $4 off offer when I immediately paused this month's bundle too. I assume that was a one time only offer at the time of pausing though
subscription services like this is so scummy, show good titles at the start then once ur on the plan, give u shovelware
At least you own these ones… unlike some other services where you don't have access at all once you unsubscribe!
void bastards is not bad.. the rest of the list..yikes
There isnt a single game rated below 78% on this entire list and there are 4 games rated higher than Void Bastards… broaden your horizons. Dont just assume something is bad because you havent heard of it or is part of a genre you dont frequently play.
EARTHLOCK - 78% - Mostly Positve
Age of Wonders - 79% - Mostly Positve
Sigma Theory - 79% - Mostly Positve
Railway Empire - 81% - Very Positve
Basingstoke - 82% - Very Positve
Metal Unit - 82% - Very Positve
Battlestar Galactica Deadlock - 83% - Very Positve
Void Bastards - 88% - Very Positve
Beat Hazard 2 - 92% - Very Positve
Verlet Swing - 95% - Very Positve
Yuppie Psycho - 95% Overwhelmingly Positve
Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive - 99% Overwhelmingly Positve
Thanks for reminding me to pause this month
Do these have good Steam ratings?
3/12 are rated mostly positve (70-79%)
7/12 are rated Very Positive (80%-94%)
2/12 are rated Overwhelmingly Positve (95%-99%)
Thanks for doing the leg work. Seems like the group think has turn on HB lately because somehow they expect AAA games or game of the year games every month from what has always been an Indy collection.
The problem is that we are getting a bit spoiled with all the cheap/free games from other sources. Epic Store has been offering high quality games for free, while Xbox Game Pass for PC offers day one releases for $5/month.
Use to check Humble regularly and post good deals. Now I wouldn't even bother to go to their site. Sigh…
They seriously need to pick up their game (pun intended) if they want people to pay for this monthly tripe. Last one I paid for was January's with Dirt Rally 2, Two Point Hospital, and couple other decent ones that month. Otherwise I suspect the end is nigh. They are playing us for mugs lately.
Games have been extremely shitty lately only still subbed cause i don't wanna loose the old pricing i would never pay the crazy amount there asking now.
I have to say, I'm happy about this redirect back to indies. I wasn't initially, but I am now. It saves me from getting lots of duplicate keys/gives me a chance to investigate games I wouldn't otherwise
I was disappointed at the strategy/turn based focus again this month, went to pause and got offered $4USD off… Ok $12 AU to try a couple of the games is worth it.
Must be targeted, I just tried it and ended up paused. No big loss.
I've paused quite a few months, only shows up sometimes.
Yeah I think this is my third in a row now. For $12 I'd have taken them though (grandfathered)
Cue everyone whinging about how shit all the games are that equate to about $2 each…
I'd rather not pay $2 for a game to sit in my library unplayed.
God knows there are a lot of those already.
I got basic for 1 month because I planned on buying railway empire on steam during sale for $30+, so for $20 I got that + void bastards and planet fall.
so… where is the pause subscription button?
In your settings, then Manage Subscription
This is the first month I actually don't like, Void Bastards is the only okay one. Still love the subscription despite this one bad month.
Classic plan can only pause once at a time right? We cant pause multiple months one after another?
Yes you can pause as many consecutive times as you like on the Classic Plan.
