I think they’re doing what they have to do to be honest. I don’t like that they fired everyone. I don’t like what they’ve done to their publishing. I am not particularly interested in buying their things anymore. I think a part of that is because they started so whimsically. Some of my favorite games of all time have come from the bundles. Things have changed, but every fudgin’ thing in this world has gone up. So clearly, even with a skeleton crew (that’s what they have to be running, right?) they more than likely were going to raise the price. Because they gotta do that capitalist thing.

I don’t like it. I have never liked it. I think this is more of a “is what it is” thing. For a hobby, it gives you a smattering of games for typically the price of one, on sale. It’s freakin’ stupid as hey-sauce it’s a subscription. Let alone that you need to jumpy through an insane amount of hoops to get your games/unsubscribe. My gal grabbed the one with The Thaumaturge recently, so I saw the lot first hand.

I think they really need to re-evaluate their next few steps however, or they will basically be nullified by whatever is next. If there is a what’s next, in gaming bundles. Not sure. I just tend to buy what I like, and what I like is weird.

I haven’t been excited for anything in a bundle for years. Their offerings have been garbage for ages.

The bundles have been pretty lackluster for a while now. Will this increase their quality?

i doubt it, but let’s see.

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.

it was 6% off with max discount for everyone else though

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

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.

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 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.

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.
