Is Humble Monthly the reason behind why Humble Bundles & Weekly Bundles are declining in quality?

No, it's just a little pause as they always do. Which they take away is mobile bundle, and maybe, very few people include me care about it :"<

NO, I LOVED THE MOBILE BUNDLE TOO, and they said they were going to put android platforms in the humble and weekly bundles and haven't put any mobile or android versions of games in the bundles. I absolutely loved the mobile bundle but oh well, have a WL to make up for your loss :)

It's not that cut and dry that the monthly bundle by itself is causing HB to have many rebundles and unique (though fairly niche) offerings over the past 3 months. Certainly, it may play a bit of a factor, but there are many other things at play currently. If you look at the number of rebundles and poor-quality bundles or outright lack of bundles by other sites like BundleStars/Groupees over the past three months, I think you would agree that it's not just Humble that has been having a rough go of bundle offerings over the past 3 months and that actually HB probably has the best quality and number of bundles as compared to the others during this time period.

I think most notably, game publishers and developers are much less willing to have their games bundled as the market has gotten way oversaturated. Supply far exceeds demand at this point in time, and the base core of PC gamers have way more games than they are capable of consuming. I think companies are realizing that putting their games into bundles is not really the best marketing tactic any longer for getting their games more exposure to unique and profitable demographics -- from a cost-performance perspective there are much more effective ways to market that don't require giving away thousands of copies of your game for peanuts to people that won't even play them, and that indeed in doing so often times the perceived value of your game becomes much less.
