This is like buying a season pass, with the difference you get "full" games with this. I mean "full" b ecause you know some of the game may be one of those incompleted crap. Still kinda pointless.

Meh I'm not really convinced about this. I don't want to spend that much each month, I don't like "blind-bag style" subscriptions.
Maybe i'll just try the first month since it should be one of the best to keep the people hooked... we'll see!

So.. idk but I think my question got lost somewhere under the weight of other posts, but I don't think it's been answered yet. How exactly does the "unsubscribe" / cancel process work? Is there any option to simply cancel the subscription on the website somewhere?

I think the first $12 bundle will be very good, this will be made to attract more ppl, but most of the next bundles won't be that good.

(Personal opinion, not company statement!) You get less for more and you don't know what you get. People don't like that. We had this idea in LazyGuysStudio like more than a year ago but we abandoned it because it won't work that well.

I will subscribe. 12 dollars will be realy low price for what we will get.
I believe that first bundle will be best and then they will slowly add worse and worse games.

Kind of weird how the charity donation is fixed at 5%, considering how hard they push that aspect on other bundles

So here's what I'm thinking (sorry if this is a retread--I read some but not all of the preceding conversation): they are going to want to make the first month look AMAZING to sell the new service. I am not a fan of paying $12 in advance for I-know-not-what. But, because of this desire to impress right out of the gate, I'm confident the first month will be worth it, especially since we can cancel at any time. I'm signing up.

At the end of the day, it's $2 (I'll use dollars even though I'm not American) a game ($12 for 6 games); even if the bundles turned out to be 6 $5 games, it's still a notable saving.

I already subscribed. Why? Humble never dissapointed me. I'm sure for the asking price the first Bundles are going to be a blast. I expect Big AAA-Games, like Shadows of Mordor, Dark Souls 2 or even FarCry 4 or GTA 5.

So I'm opening a bet that Indiegala will come with a subsciption based service as well. Only cheaper and crappier.

Any takers? :P

This $12 monthly subcription is more worthed than Indiegala DEEP SIM BUNDLE .... !!

If what you get are games that will be games that will come out on the highest tier of regular bundle, I think it will be a good deal.

For those interested, I messaged Humble support a few questions and got these answers:

Q. Does "haven't been featured in other bundles" mean only never been in previous Humble Bundles? Or will games not have been bundled anywhere (including other bundle sites)?

We're trying our best to pick a good mix of some of our favorite classic games, and hot new games! Each month's Humble Monthly release will include a mix of games never before released in a Humble Bundle, and some of our favorite classics from previous bundles.

Q. Will each game be a separate Steam key? Or will games be grouped together as a single Steam key?

Absolutely all of the games that you get as part of the Humble Monthly subscription are individually giftable. Once the November content unlocks, you can feel free to give away any of the games you will receive.

Q. An IGN article states that "At launch, all games in the monthly bundle will include Steam codes. However, in the future, some games will be DRM-free and may not be on Steam, or may appear on other platforms." However, your site says "What are the games playable on? / Steam for Windows. Sometimes more!" Can you confirm whether games in the Monthly bundle (past November) will all be Steam playable?

We certainly appreciate the level of attention we've been getting from the press regarding Humble Monthly, but unfortunately some of the information being circulated is incorrect. All games provided in the Humble Monthly subscription will have Steam keys included, and are guaranteed to be compatible with Windows. We always try our best to be as inclusive as possible with the range of platforms we support. Oftentimes this means we will be able to include a DRM-free version, and support for Mac, and sometimes even Linux.

very expensive for me, I do think that humble will deliever more quality content than other bundle sites tho.

Since I haven't seen an answer to the lingering question of whether you can unsubscribe after getting Grimrock 2, I wanted to mention that my card was already charged the $12. That would indicate to me that I'm "in" for next month and if I unsubscribe after that I still get November, I just won't get later months until I subscribe again.

Humble Bundle has been really expensive for the past year. I remember when I first found out about this website, some bundles were so great like that "Alan Wake weekly" just for $1 and "Telltale Games" for $1 but now even the worst games are in Tier 1 and 2 that are not less than $6. So many repeats as well. Monthly bundle for $12 is way way too expensive.

$12 a month is $144 a year.
That is quite alot to pay for a blind subscription model featuring a cat in a bag each month.

They either plan to make this an amazing bundle system or they just hope people's curiousity would get their better judgement.

It is very odd, to say the least.

I didn't see it mentioned explicitly, but for context, $12 now for Legend of Grimrock II + some as-yet indeterminate number of games ("around 5" in one spot, "6" in another that doesn't say if that includes LoG2 or not, almost certainly does, so assume 4-5 new games coming in November), but the current asking price is double the historical low. Lots of people have mentioned that (a) this is a good price for LoG2 and others have mentioned that it is not a good deal if you bought it on sale. Either way, if you look at the current historical low price and assume you bought it then, you have one copy to give away / trade / whatever and you only need the other games to be worth a little over a buck a piece to you. That's not a bad deal.

I'm still out though. :-D

Wow this is new to me... seems interesting but a great gamble too, I don't spend so much on games on monthly basis (my salary is really low).

I might sit out the first month and wait and see if it's worth it, my backlog is too damn big anyways. Thanks for the heads up Rachel!

I might bite at this. If i consider buying grimrock at around 4$(an 80% discount) and assuming i receive 5 games, those games would "only" need to be worth 1.6$. Thinking like this makes it seem to be a good deal.

RIP Humble Bundle.

You are dead to me.

Not for me, I'll pass.

Credit card only? Don't know what games you'll get? Yeah no
