The only game I have ever directly bought off the Humble Store was Rimworld, precisely because the devs never let it go on sale, thus getting a discount via storefront was worthwhile. Buy 11 months in a row but not feeling the 12th? Back to 10% for you. Crucially, if you pause/skip a month, the discount resets to the lowest level (10%). Now there is a loyalty system in which consecutive months of subscribership are necessary to reach the 20%. Pause a month and you lost that discount, but it went back to 20% if you actually bought a particular month’s bundle. Previously, if you were an Active subscriber in the Classic/Premium tier, you had a 20% discount in the Humble Store. Unless the mark was my face, in which case it slapped. The sweeteners that Humble are adding to keep people subscribed… don’t quite it hit the mark. Ironically, due to the changes, I was actually feeling good about finally canceling the subscription altogether instead of constantly pausing. Not everyone bothers though, and that is why companies pull this shit.
I forgot to pause it like six times overall, but requested and received refunds each time. I maintained my Classic subscription this whole time by “Pausing” it each month, in the hopes I would find something worthwhile next time. Seriously, looking at my Humble account, the last bundle I actually purchased was in April 2020. But unfortunately for them, that coincided with both a dearth of worthwhile bundle offerings and blistering competition from Game Pass and Epic Store (to an extent). The latest move was to basically do away with all the previous nonsense of four tiers and go back to “pay $12 for X games.” I mean, it was clever of them to crank up the FOMO in canceling your Classic subscription, knowing it would cost you 60% more a month if you came crawling back. You would be forgiven for not following the changes to the Humble Choice subscription, as it has gone through a number of iterations over the years.
#STARBOUND FREE HUMBLEBUNDLE MOD#
That said, a few of these games – like Starbound, for instance – are better off in a more permanent library where you can easily mod them. While pure value isn’t the purpose of the bundles, I do think it’s worth pointing out that this will be much more heavily weighted on the donation side of things. For example, Back 4 Blood Game Pass is one of the “headliners” but I have no interest in Left 4 Dead-esque games these days.Īs you can see though, a large number of these games are currently available via Game Pass. The above aren’t all the games, just the ones I would have been interested in.
Since I was browsing through the list anyway, here are what stands out: Humble Bundle has a new mega bundle for $40 with all of the proceeds going to Ukraine relief.
