[quote=humblebundle]What is the Humble Monthly Bundle? [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkOfIpq5YRM[/media] A highly curated bundle of our favorite games at one fixed price. Includes everything from recent hits to hidden gems to timeless classics - every month. $12 / month[/quote] Don't really like the idea, 12 dollars for a blind bag of games you might already own?

5% to charity, not so humble
As if I didn't have too many games already. I'll wait to see what the first few months bring before even considering it.
Yeah even their Humble store is 10% to charity. Not a fan.
Can't wait to already own 95% of the games in these bundles in advance.
And it's going to all be garbage indie games that nobody gives 2 shits about. Like: tumblr point n click adventure, Rouge-like but not actually rouge-like just randomly generated generic pixel game, epic sidescroller that you haven't seen a thousand times before, unity experimental ~art~ walking simulator.
Now introducing Humble Bundle Yearly, Humble Bundle Seasonal, and Humble Bundle Supermoon.
the first month is gonna be best bundle the rest will be terrible
Humble bundle was a genuine and grand idea but tbh it's really fallen out of its own place recently 5-10 % to charity is utter shit no matter how you put it when the point of the store [U]is charity[/U]
can't wait to pay 12 dollars p.mo for more tat, now in digital form!
Does anyone really care about humble bundles anymore Ever since they basically just pulled a Woot.com and started doing any kind of bundle for whatever reason all the time they've really lost their appeal. Not to mention the bundles aren't so "humble" anymore. It's basically now just yet another steam alternative that does things -slightly- different. What kind of irrates me the most is that its super obvious thanks to the initial success of Humble Bundle wolfire has all but gone super vaporware/lazy with their game Overgrowth. That game looked amazing 5 years ago, and was making mind blowing progress with awesome attention to detail in every weekly update. Then they stopped doing weekly updates, supposedly for "nitty gritty" stuff and what everyone assumed was the actual content of the game. 5 years later: the game has had barely any progress towards release, is now starting to look really outdated, and it's clear that they made so much money from humble bundle that they don't feel like they ever need to actually finish it. Instead, the game sort of adopted an annoying "minecraft: never finished" model. So much amazing potential for that game being squandered away due to release apathy.

Since then none of HB's really caught my eye.
Considering how utter shite 4/5 bundles are, I'll pass.
This is awful. They say it's stuff that hasn't been in other bundles, that means eventually they'll go through so much it'll become bargain bin stuff. And 5% is way too low for charity.
Every humble bundle I've ever bought, I've always given everything to one of the charities, none of the developers and not the humble tip. Shame the amount to charity is so low for this, I'll pass.

They had nice bonuses and it was nice how they were also numbers to keep trackof them. Now it's just another place to buy games.
So they want us to pay for random games, that we might already own?

EA bundle was best bundle
I'm getting PS4 PS+ -vibes. Those are not good vibes. Only good thing to come out of it so far is Rocket League. I got majorly hooked to it because it was a free PS+ monthly game.
