Humble Bundle Choice raising prices, 14.99 USD per month or 154.99 USD annual.

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.
The 20% discount is completely theoretical. Very few games, if any, were discountable that low

I use it about once every two months. Most recently, Clair Obscur.

The maximum discount you get is dependent on how long you’ve been a subscriber. 20% requires one year or longer of membership.

Just got this notification from Humble about another price increase.
Man, maybe I should just cancel, I’ve been on this since the first one, back when it was $12, and I’ve got a 1500+ line document full of games I have for friends to pick birthday presents, and I use the 20% discount a lot, but I don’t think I’m getting the full subscription price for ff 14 out of this.

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.
Yeah, I’ve primarily gotten graphic novels/manga/ebook bundles as of late from them. Most game bundles have maybe one interesting game and just isn’t worth all the extra cruft.

I haven’t been excited for anything in a bundle for years. Their offerings have been garbage for ages.
I for sure think things have changed. I think they are a good value for people who share their games. In the sense that there’s something for everyone. It’s not really my bag either. As I stated, I tend to just grab my own games when I like them. I don’t play AAA games or anything terribly graphically advanced, so that in itself sort of nullifies the bundles for me. As most of them tend to focus on what larger titles they can pull. I worry often that a lot of these sites in general prey on people to be honest.
That’s something else though. I just thought in general the pay raise makes sense because everything has raised their prices. I just wish there were more to justify it over.

Unless its quality goes up and it’s the best bundle we’ve seen in years, we should all just cancel and show them that’s not ok.

I never saw a reason to buy the choice subscription. I just get the bundles i am interested in, and save money.

I’ve been in the choice subscription for a few years. It’s a lot cheaper. But damn does it fill out your steam library fast.

You know? This might be the excuse I need to finally end my subscription. I’ve way too many games already.

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
I also cancelled some time ago when I found out the risk of losing my “classic bundle” benefits was nonsense because Humble Bundle had already eliminated those benefits for everyone. Added to this, they charged me for a few bundles even though I had specifically paused because I was not interested in what was offered. From time to time they do offer pretty sweet deals though, but I don’t see the point of keeping a subscription there anymore.
