I cancelled my subscription as soon as I got the email. Apparently I’ve been subscribed since January 2017. It used to be worth it back then, but I probably should have canceled after they changed it to choice. I can’t remember the last time I played a game from it

Did they not just do this for the month of June? Or perhaps it has been a staggered rollout and they first increased the prices in Canada.

That’s about a 40% increase in the amount I have been paying for years without fail, partially at the threat of if I cancel, I lose my grandfathered pricing.

And frankly the quality of the bundles has been dropping for a while.

I guess I finally cancel then. What a silly way to lose business

Edit: and cancelled, happy there was a text box for me to tell them why I’m gone. 8 years of paying monthly apparently

Yup. Though I’ve been pausing more and more lately. The months where I already own the games because I loved them are ones that I can’t blame them for. But there’s been plenty that I just wasn’t interested in.

I haven’t bought a single bundle since IGN took over.

They aren’t losing business if it costs them money to have you as a customer

I forgot this company existed when they got rid of ‘pay what you want for the actually good games’

I must have missed the news when Ziff Davis, now I feel even more justified cancelling my subscription, just got the notice today

I’m surprised you lasted this long on it I stopped 5+ years ago because of lacklustre offerings. It used to be so awesome

They are losing business, because revenue goes down.

They will negotiate the prices they pay publishers for a set of keys to use in humble choice to mean they get their 15% cut of the revenue. If a publisher sets the price too high, they’ll go elsewhere until they can get their margin.

If they lose ~25% of their subscribers over a ~40% price hike, they will be right back where they started in terms of profit—which is a place where they would consider hiking the price and losing customers.

There was the odd diamond in the rough, but I agree it has been getting increasingly worse.

Weirdly enough I was staying subscribed because if I quit I’d lose my current price for good. Makes no difference now

Are they still overselling their bundles so they’re aren’t enough keys to redeem if you purchased it? I see that practice as being fraudulent.

The only relevant part. I hate when they bury news like this inside a couple of paragraphs of guff.

I never understood why someone would stay subscribed to it. Like just get it when there’s something you want from it that month and then cancel.

Oh great, another reason for me to not subscribe. Humble bundle stopped being so humble like a decade ago

Yup. I understood when they made the $1 minimum but pay what you what has basically been fraud for years now, ever since they started locking games behind an actual price. It’s just a bundle sale, and it’s not humble anymore

On mobile, the feedback selection / form doesn’t have a submit button

Annual prices are slightly cheaper, but they’ve been gradually squeezing that too. You can of course pause the months you don’t want, but it’s a somewhat obtuse process.

They run good deals on audio books and Pathfinder material every once in a while. Otherwise, yeah, been a while since I saw a game bundle that was worth the money.

The 20% discount on purchases is very nice, though the monthly offerings are extremely hit-or-miss. I’m not sure I’ll stay subscribed at this price, though. The value of the subscription is simply too unpredictable.
