This reminds me of how I used to buy most humble bundles until they switched to that stupid subscription model that will make you pay without knowing what games you will get for your money.

    Aren't those two separate things though? There's humble choice, which is basically what you describe, although you can just subscribe for a month if you're interested in the games and then immediately cancel your subscription. There's also a handful of regular bundles at any given time that are not linked to any subscription at all

    That is true. However, my impression was that they started putting most of the good games into the subscription bundles, which makes sense from their perspective, simply to make more people subscribe. So while people could still choose between subscription and non subscription based payment models, Humble systematically decreased the quality and thus attractiveness of the non subscription based bundles more and more, while the great disadvantage of the subscription bundles (not knowing in advance what games you will get) remained.

    You’ll occasionally get bundles before a new game or dlc releases. Those are generally pretty filled with content if you don’t already own some or most of it. For example Cities Skylines had a bundle with the first game and most of the dlc before 2 launched. It’s worth it to keep an eye on the homepage to pick up deals like that

    Humble Choice isn't unknown, or at least hasn't been for a long time. I'm subscribed but they also give the option to skip as many months as you want, which I unfortunately take advantage of like 75% of the time.

    Well, maybe I am not up to date on this. Are you saying you can see in advance what games will be in a subscription bundle and also that you can skip as many bundles as you want?

    Yes, that's exactly it. They changed the format a while ago. You get to see the entire bundle before you buy it, and can skip months as long as you want. I buy maybe 2 or 3 bundles a year and skip all the rest.

    If you're not making extensive use of your Humble Choice discount in the store, you might want to consider canceling each month that you don't like the games instead. I cancel every month regardless, then throughout the month I get emails offering increasing discounts on the current month's bundle, until I eventually get an offer for one month for £4.50 a couple of days before the current bundle ends. It's resulted in me getting twice as many games for less than half the normal monthly price.

    that stupid subscription model that will make you pay without knowing what games you will get for your money.

    You're showing your ignorance here. They announce the monthly bundle at the beginning of the month and you have the entire month to 'pause' your membership for that month. If you pause you remain a subscriber but you don't pay for that month and you don't get the games for that month.

    I can't believe this was upvoted.

    I'd get Shadow of War, but after the shitshow that was Hogwarts Legacy, WB won't get a single red cent from me. I still haven't finished that fucking game because of graphical issues, numerous bugs/glitches I found and reported AND still haven't been fixed, and a 65% corrupted game save file (that was the icing on the cake). It literally ruined the lore and magic of HP for me.

    That being said: Shadow of Mordor was amazing. The Nemesis system is such a beautiful thing, it's a shame they literally copyrighted it so that other devs (and probably other titles) couldn't use it. I wish I was making this shit up.

    You can literally set the split between Warner Bros, the charity, and Humble Bundle to whatever you want.

    You can absolutely buy the $15 tier, get all the games, send $0 to WB, $12.75 to charity, and $2.25 to Humble (the minimum to cover processing and costs I guess).

    WB probably gets to write off the money as donations to charity but forcing WB to give money to charity, regardless of tax implications, sounds like a win-win to me.

    Yo, you like story-based 3rd person action brawlers with strong characters and unlockable abilities? Well here try this top-down turn-based strategy series where you can micro-manage a randomized set of city-states in a campaign that spans millennia.

    Exactly! It's the perfect genre transition, there's no better time to get stuck into 4X and some of them juicy Sid Meier classics!
