No... Not without knowing what game will be next. I am not gonna pay so much for game i will never play. It is not as much but way too much for legends of grimrock. :D

I picked it up because LoG2 was enough for me to try this idea out.

Not a chance without Paypal.

I see this turning out to be like Groupees with a bunch of whatever games and at $12 for 5 (sometimes less, sometimes more) it's not worth it in my opinion.

SO doing this, Thank you Rachel!

I'm tempted but I'd be more tempted if they made promises of previous bundled games not being there. (or bundled from other sites)
For all we know half the games included could be bundled, and it might only have 1 game worth it/making it break even each time.

Thinking about subbing for the first month, because they will probably(if they aren't stupid) have a great selection the first month, so more people are tempted to stay subscribed to it for next time.

The FoMO is strong here. I really wanna do it, concern of repeat games is strong though. I know they say never been bundled, but that may only be in regards to HB themselves. Probably a quarter of my library is from Bundlestars.

at 1 USD absolutly will try, at 6 USD maybe i try, at 12 USD now way....

I haven't actually purchased a bundle since August 19th. I'm not really feeling the need to subscribe to a service for the convenience of getting bundle games before they're re-bundled in another couple of weeks.

I may have missed it, but has Shobo ruled how these games will be handled when it comes to the bundle list?

$12 for 5 games... Meh, i'll pass... Since i'm more a collector than a gamer, i'll wait for better deals :->

Also not to mention that they wont be always on steam o.O ... That's definitely a NO!!

I'll try it for a month.. You would think they'd put their best foot forward, so the first few months ought to be solid. Though $12 is pretty steep for an anything indie...

I really hate blind pre-orders, and pre-ordering in general, it's too easy to get burned. Groupees gives a bunch of hints, and in some cases reveals the entire pack of games before the presale price ends. With this subscription there's no opportunity to decline, and people will be very upset when the bundle fails to deliver the proper value. I get that you're looking at the success of Patreon and want a similar "set it and forget it" payment model, but HB has already lost all credibility as a high quality bundle site. I have no confidence that the HB blind bundles will ever deliver the proper $12 value, especially with the waning supply of good unbundled indie/low cost games which want a promo, and the growing number of people with backlogs which would take years to consume.

I have no intentions of getting it given the track record of many of their bundles.

But I will be pissed if it ends up being an IDSoftware or Final Fantasy bundle I miss out on.

to me there are 4 things great about humble bundles:

1. great games
2. brings games to mac and linux
3. pay what you want
4. give as much of what you pay to charity as you want

the monthly bundle only has 1 out of 4, so not that great for me. also i already have legend of grimrock 2, don't like subscriptions, and figure i'll already have a lot of the games. i'll still pay attention to what they throw in there and will maybe discover some games i'd like to play, but i won't be subscribing.

If games don't go on SG bundled list I'm definitely getting the first one, also because FoMO is really strong here. The bundle will have to be mind blowingly amazing for me to subscribe for another month.

I reckon I'll subscribe til January and see what it's like. Hopefully they'll be doing pretty good bundles for halloween, then thanksgiving, then christmas and then post christmas. If the february one drops off a bit I'll abandon it then (or if it never really gets going)

Legend of Grimrock 2 is alone worth more than $12 :)

Yaaay...NOT. There are way to many issues with this.

You have no idea what's in that bundle until it's too late. You are basically paying $12 without knowing what you're paying for. There is no promise that there will be individual keys, when that's the case (since they are going to give DRM free as well). $12 is a bit too much to give away without knowing on what.

In the first 2-3 months this will be OK since they will try to get as many subscribers as possible but what then? What happens when they will run out of new unbundled games? What will happen when they will loose subscribers? I'm pretty sure they will start giving crapware in the regular bundles just to give the good stuff for subscribers.

So no. For me this is the end of HB. Not sure I like what's coming for all of us, not just subscribers.

Do I really need more games in my 800+ Steam library? I don't think so. I'm trying to cut my backlog.

Someone mentioned all games featured in this monthly subscription have never been bundled before. Is this true? Has Humble Bundle commented on this?

Informations (or speculations?) from Epicbundle concerning the general line-up, maybe it's worth noting (?):

1 hot title - Less than one year old.
1 highly-acclaimed title - Between one to two years old.
1-2 hit indie games.
1-2 hidden gems from developers.

It's soooooo BULLSHIT. Pay in advance for things that I don't know what they'll be? 12 dollars a month for gamea that I potentially own already or that I might not want? FUCK YOU Humble Bundle? When did charity become this?

It's another way to get your money. That's all it is.
If I'm gonna pay 12$ I'm gonna pay it during sales for 2 or 3 games I know I want.
Maybe if you've got lots of time on your hands and really want to discover new games, it might be interesting.

I'm gonna wait and see what's the first bundle like and depending on the contents will take further action
