they never said it will be all fresh.

To quote the FAQ above (which I suggest that you read):

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.

There's no point in scamming. The bundle must be attractive to some people or everyone will cancel their subscriptions and there will be no new ones. One would have to be incredibly stupid to scam this way, and Humble aren't stupid.

Thanks! The post really got TLTR. :) Personally I would add all guesses to the TLDR section.

that's the only game i don't have out of this bundle so far. not sure if it'll be worth it for me just to get TLOG2

I think you might be on to something...

Sad but true, the Paypal thing really stinks. Like you said, there's plenty of evidence for monthly subscription payments via Paypal.

I guess there's a difference between MMOs subscription and this subscription.

In MMOs subscription, you know exactly what you buy.
Here, you know nothing about bought product, there's not even guarantee it will actually have 2nd Edition...

For comparison, you can't use paypal on Kickstarter, companies allow paypal payments ONLY after they receive their minimal goal on Kickstarter.

Another reason is because Paypal allows you to cancel recurring payments without going through the seller, and that would cause problems if they had subscription info in their system but couldn't put the payments through. The followup would be a logistical nightmare. With credit cards, you have to contact Humble to cancel, unless you want to cancel your credit card, which people are unlikely to do for one seller.

Now of course, people might be able to use prepaid cards if they're uncomfortable giving out actual credit card info, or maybe even one-time use numbers, but I think Paypal makes it far too easy and that's one reason why they're not allowing it yet.

And the Paypal user agreement and fee structure may not be as advantageous as the terms Humble has through Stripe doing it's payment processing. It's not just about chargebacks, although that is a legit concern for a blind bundle, but how much it costs in fees compared to credit cards.

TO me it looks like it could be one of the skulls from crypt of the necrodancer. That would be a good start for me.

thanks for digging that up :)
well the sword is glowing blue, so it's not too far off. but it could also be a coincidence. it looks more like fantasy than sci-fi to me

Trine 3 would be nice

Saints Row 4 has already been bundled by HB so it's probably Gat out of Hell

Well, i think garage door is Valkyria Chronicles but we've seen a doors like from prison or something - prison architect ?

added ! thanks

I think this is true, I'm interested in Besieged an Valkyria Chronicles. But I don't want to spend 12$ for it, so I'll pass and wait other sales

I hope he's wrong.

oh o.o i must have mistaken that. thanks !

thanks :D adding!

That's clearly an old-school boombox, not the dubstep gun. You can even see the space for the cassette player.

Plus, SRIV has already been strongly hinted/revealed.

._. lol.

Just appreciate the fact that I put up a TLDR. If people wanna learn more about the bundle, they can read :/

Same here, but at least we got Legend of Grimrock 2, wich is nice.

By the way, for 12$ and the price of the games, this gonna count as a bundle for Steamgifts? Probably not gonna arrive to the 90% rule.

The Reddit user saw four out of six games. Transistor may still be included. "Transistor radio" is a common phrase, so unless you can come up with a game that might better match with the radio picture in the hints posted from their Twitter account, I think Transistor would probably be a good bet. But it's not a sure thing, obviously.

Edit: I suppose the radio could be the Dub-step gun from Saints Row IV, but thought the fleur-de-lis was already hinting at a game in the Saints Row series. Would they really double up on games from the same series in their first bundle?

People were guessing Transistor would be included weeks ago based on the sword in the promotional video. The blade is the right color, but the hilt looks very different. Then again, one of the hint pictures is a radio, and "transistor radio" is a very common phrase. At least, I can't imagine what other game the picture of the radio is hinting towards.

someone asked me that yesterday. My reply to them is a couple comments above this one.

i will copy and paste.

if you search "transistor" in the search box for this thread, you will come up with the following results here.

vhAdam: Why not? Everything is possible, someone already said that the video sword is very reminiscent of the sword of transistor game and the person in the background reminds me of that game.

and

SolSys: They might have given some.
In the video that sword reminded me of Transistor [same dev of Bastion - and ofc I already bought it].
Maybe the fire, runes and spiked balls are from some other games?

Exactly six. If Legend of Grimrock 2 counts as one of those six (not entirely clear on that point, but I think that it does), then there are five more games to be revealed on the Friday after next.

i think if your getting it each month it is normally 5ish not always going to be the same & you'll already own the bonus game from the last bundle so ain't no bonus for subscribers

that question is already in the OP listed as:

Some lingering questions...(If you have a burning question or answer to add, please let me know!)
Q: Will these games be added to the bundled list?

Thanks

It's not really feasible to answer that without knowing what the games are first. However, assuming the 95% discount rule is still being used, then the combined value of all the games in the bundle would have to be $240 or more in order for them to make the bundle game list. Assuming there were 7 games they would have to average almost $35 each. If you do the math it seems unlikely.

some of the games haven't

if its gat out of hell, i'm giving it to anybody as fast as i can. i hate that game with a passion.. and i love saints row
