Other possible games: The Flame in the Flood and Transistor

what did i miss? O.o

Oh no. I'm really interested for this bundle but i dont have any credit card. I often buy humble bundles from a seller (obviously, because i dont have any credit card or paypal).. I hope humblebundle will add another payment method anytime soon.

Hmm ... it's been the frist friday this month already, why is there no information which gams the first subscribers got, or will we only know next month?

I'll subscribe for a month or two, $12 isn't that much and fortunately I have a few things I can do with the games I don't want (I don't trade, but I have a few channels for giving what I don't want to others), so there isn't much harm from my perspective... I trust humble bundle enough to trust they won't push shovelware through the curation

inb4 "not enough people subbed, let's give them some rebundled trash"

I'm expecting Shovel Knight or This War Of Mine for the first one. Let' see...

Transistor, eh? Now you've kind of got my interest. I've heard lots of good things about it and it seems right up my alley. Still, I'd never even heard of that flame in the flood thing so that's not really promising, and I'm not really interested in the legend of grimrock...

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)?
A. 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.

They are totally contradicting themselves there! First they're like: "Nooo, no games from our previous bundles!" Then the fine print says: "Yeah, some stuff from previous bundles but only good stuff."
But I already bought many of their previous bundles and own many well-received indie classics. So chances are that I'll be getting redundant stuff I don't want, for a set price I maybe wouldn't have paid. Plus, I don't like to be deceived into anything.

And only 5% for charity? That's merely enough to write it on their flag. Honestly, the whole thing seems to me like some plan to generate more steady revenue to pay their employees, without the unknown variable of how much customers give to charity. Kind of like their store deals, which can't really beat Steam's own sales. So maybe the store alone didn't yield enough money, so they're now trying this subscription model?

I was really tempted to subscribe at first, since I'm keen on Grimrock 2 and would like to support them for all the good stuff they brought us like great deals and charity. But now I'm doubtful because of how they contradict themselves about content and how the overall value will be completely up to them. I highly doubt the monthly bundles will have cheapskate-bundle-value but rather humble-store-like value. Maybe somewhere in between, which would be okay, if I could be sure of not (or only rarely) getting games I already own.

I got some info regarding the monthly bundle. Here's the info (i asked humblebundle support myself so the info is probably 100% true)

Q: I have a question.

Some people do not have credit card, so, can people gift this bundle to another account? If not, will gifting monthly bundle be available in the future?

A: Hi there,

Thank you for your excitement regarding the Humble Monthly subscription!

That's a great question! We're working on a way to gift entire bundles, but we're not quite there yet. For now, you can definitely gift individual games, but you can't buy a Humble Monthly Bundle for another account.

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. We've even written a handy support article explaining how to gift away your keys:
Gifting Steam Keys

We're absolutely working on PayPal support — they can't currently accommodate our payment system, but we're hopeful we can get this implemented soon.

I wonder. Will the games from monthly bundle be added to bundle list here, on SG?

NOPE. Random games not worth $12.

I don't like it.

It's basicly the same as the "buy random steam key scam" except you can be sure it's not been bought with stolen money. Im not going to risk 12$ for games i might already own. For 12$ you can actually buy quite alot at the right sale.

Also i fear that this premium program will water down the quality of their normal bundles.

So, some games that have been in Humble Bundles and some games that have not been in Humble Bundles. In other words, everything could have been bundled before.

I was against this at first, but reading the Q&A you provided has changed my mind. I'm gonna commit to a month and see how it goes. And I don't have Legends of Grimrock 2 anyway, so even if the bundle disappoints it's not a total loss.

For us people on the european side of the sea, I mailed support and asked them why there is no support for payments in Euro, as there is in the Humble Store. I am one of the unlucky people whose bank charges for currency conversion, so this is kind of important for me. Their response was the usual canned one about trying to incorporate other methods of payment etc etc. and alhtough I asked them again about this specific discrepancy, they still haven't replied. I'm pretty tempted though, I have a feeling it's going to be a nice bundle.

Wait a second... So I thought I'd gamble a bit and subscribe for one month only to realize I can only subscribe with a credit card?! What?!

The text about not being in a previous Humble Bundle worries me. There are a ton of great games that have been in bundles elsewhere but not Humble that could be included under these terms, which makes me a little nervous since I buy a ton of bundles.

Still gonna try at least one or two months though.

12$ looks too much, especially when i own so many games, the chances i already own most of the games are too high.
I guess there will max 1 game i'm interested in and it will be cheaper to buy it from a trader.

Judging by the most recent Humble Bundle, it looks like our fears may be true. All the good stuff is going to be in the monthly bundle, and the regular and weekly bundles are going to get worse or be eliminated.

12$? O_o 2 dollars a game and idk what games? Sorry i prefer wait the Steam sale and spend this 36 $ of this 3 months in 5-6 good games.

We'll see about how the quality of humble goes on. I share alot of resentiments that have been mentioned earlier.

Any news of the "stripe only" policy of theirs right now? If this continues to be i won't be in for sure.

I think Reus is more possible due to the image of the giant at the end of the banner. Did you think of Transistor just for the sword on the rock?

I think the first one gonna be probably a really good deal and then, like drugs, every new dosis gonna be worst than the previous.

Just subscribe to the monthly package , they charged me $ 12 and cancel the subscription , I get the game on November 6 ?

This Monthly Bundle looks a lot like any other Tier-3 bundle from HB. So there's nothing new there apart from the surprise factor.
My question is: If this is just another bundle, will the, ahem, quality of the other HB bundles decrease? After all, there's no point creating a whole new product if the older products are better than the new one. Unless some GTAV or MGS shows up in the Monthly (ok, i know that's not gonna happen)
