Will this monthly bundle be yours?
Will Humble Bundle generally give hints to other games that will be in this bundle? To be honest I'm not really tempted at all by the XCOM 2 since my laptop won't be able to handle it lol so if I do purchase this I am trading it.

Straight from the email:
"Get over $100 worth of games for just $12"
Taking into account that HB states that XCOM 2 is MSRP: $59.99 than there is only $40 MSRP left for other 5 games so I guess there won't be any good indie games.
Oh well.

They always say over $100 (I think?).
January's bundle was worth $134 according to their email. Should still be room for some goodies in this one.
Comment has been collapsed.
So far they've all been between $115 and $165.
While some are definitely much better than others (subjectively speaking), there's still a good chance for another $100 worth of games to be added later.

There was a brazilian who the key he received, was locked to Brazil.
I'm in Argentina and received an ROW or a LATAM key, don't know which one, but it works.
If you wanna buy it in Brazil and later move to Argentina, I don't know if it will work, you should contact HB support and/or Steam support.

Question: How do I get the early unlock as a multi-month subscriber? Usually they send an e-mail the week before, but what if I want it now? I went to the key page and clicked on "Pay early", where it said I'd get it, but that just took me to the page for the January games
nvm, found it, apparently I'm just stupid (and/or blind) ^^

Nah, it's just not the best laid out website. Form first, function as an afterthought.

Would somebody be so kind to help me understand Steamdb?
I'm from Austria and I would like to giveaway XCOM 2. However if the key is going to be region locked I don't want to go through all that trouble and would skip next month.
https://steamdb.info/app/268500/subs/
On SteamDB I can only see 4 depots that seem to be region restricted (RU/CIS; IN; BR & Asia).
Does that mean that a key purchased from Austria will be:
- ROW and will work for everybody
Europe onlyprobably not since there is no such depot- ROW but it will lock out those regions that have seperate depots (like that new Deep Silver region lock)?

Bump
I would like to know too, maybe 3..? (from https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/gUbNzUn)

Am I the only one having problem on the paypal page during the payment?
Once I log in it just gives me a half blank page where I can only see the datas from HB on the left but is totally empty on th right (where there should also be the "proceed with payment" button).

-10th of January
-too late for the January bundle
(I actually got it now)
Comment has been collapsed.
It's normal. Humble Monthlies are pretty much blind Bundles so they can only be bought before they go live if that's what you mean.
However if you missed the deadline you can usually buy complete Bundles or seperate games for the same price at GroupBuy if you're fast enough.

I think I know why you are confused. This monthly bundle are PRE-ORDER bundle. In the order word, currently you will pre-order for February bundle ( yes they call it Feb 2017 bundle but you have to pre-order it anywhere between January 6 - Feb 5 ( somewhere around that basically on January mostly).
The January bundle that you see. It already gone since you supposed to or have to pre-order it somewhere in December last year.
Yes the monthly humble bundle doesn't work the same as all normal bundle.
P.S: I use word "pre-order" because you technically receive the bundle next month ( Feb 6 or February bundle I think)
Comment has been collapsed.
Every first Friday of a month a new bundle is delivered.

I noticed there is a 10% off Humble Monthly for New Subscribers coupon included with the Overwhelmingly Positive Bundle. Can I use this coupon to lower the price of the Monthly even if I was a subscriber in the past? Or is it for 1st time subscribers only?
Comment has been collapsed.
If you really want to, you could just make new HIB account. Not sure if its worth 1.2$
On other hand, since its so easy to just create account, it would be nice if they let you just use that discount multiple times.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is a solution, but I prefer to keep all claimed games under a single account.
Comment has been collapsed.
Get it. You'll regret not buying it after it ends. I regret not buying the march monthly
Comment has been collapsed.
region locks for a product where everyone pays the same price is kinda defeating it's purpose :S
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah... I'm really not sure why they do that.. :/ At least make it cheaper for non-row countries then.
Comment has been collapsed.
It doesn't let me buy another monthly as gift. Anyone knows if it's a bug or not?
Comment has been collapsed.
I got only the first 2, guess ill get another one.

I finally bit the bullet and bought this bundle, and already traded XCOM 2 for The Long Dark. Not sure if this is considered a good trade (in terms of value) but I'm sure much more interested in this game.
Comment has been collapsed.
You got a very good deal with that.
(Also, I didn't know they already made a video game of the Trump administration. :P)
Comment has been collapsed.
Good to know. And the bundle hasn't been revealed yet, so the rest is gravy :-)
There are actually two such games already on Steam, one released before the elections, and one after (which seems like someone's wishful thinking). BTW, the name Orange Buffoon is free for a video game, at least there's nothing on Steam. I also checked if the .com domain with this name is free, and let's just say that I wish I hadn't...
Comment has been collapsed.
That was a fair trade. Some are paying $9-$10 for XCOM 2 from the bundle (making the rest of the bundle cheap), and The Long Dark currently costs $10 from the Humble store (but only $9 if you include the 10% discount).
Comment has been collapsed.
Now I just need to play TLD early enough to justify doing this trade, because long term XCOM 2 is probably a better "asset"...
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a better "asset" short term too, to burst your bubble, if you see game keys as assets for sale.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't sell keys. I do however keep some keys for trades for games I want to play. In this case, I'm much more interested in TLD than in XCOM 2, but if I don't play TLD soon, it's all moot.

Does anyone know if there is a restriction on the key if its bought from the US?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it's region-locked. I forget which countries it won't activate in.
Comment has been collapsed.
Where did you get the region lock info? I can't seem to find a region-locked key that can be activated in the US on SteamDB?
I'm still new to this region lock thing though so I'm not sure if I'm checking the possible restrictions correctly :P

My friend from Europe send me this bundle as a gift but im redeem it on my account from Asia. Anyone know XCom2 will be row or region lock?
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty sure it wil be row, HB checks the IP/address from the buyer to provide steam keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
When I created a gift link (EU ip and credit card) -
This key is not available in the following countries: BN, HK, BR, BY, RU, LA, TW, LK, TM, TJ, TH, PH, CN, IR, AM, VN, GE, MY, IN, AZ, ID, CU, MD, SY, KG, UZ, MM, SG, MO, KH, KP, KZ, UA, SD. If the person you're gifting this to lives in one of them, Steam might prevent the key from being redeemed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did they give the warning before or after u made the gift link?
Comment has been collapsed.
Just try to create XCom2 gift link and a pop-up say that my key lock to Asia. So it will depend on the IP you create gift link, not buyer's region.
Comment has been collapsed.
Humble bundle has got me wondering now.
Would it be possible to A subscribe myself and get the bundle and then use the gift option to gift a second bundle to myself?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not that interested in XCOM2, since I haven't played the first one yet. Trade it for GTA V is a fair move?
Comment has been collapsed.
nope
with this bundle the price of xcom2 will drop
Comment has been collapsed.
still... people who want xcom2 can buy this bundle for less than the lowest price of GTA V + they get more games.
Maybe you can find someone who bought gta v in wintersale for 15€ and just waited to trade it away but tbh. I don't think so. And most of the copys you buy outside of steam are not for steam either
Comment has been collapsed.
you actually said something that was obvious all the time, I'll put the game on my trade keys, than :)
Comment has been collapsed.
If you can get a Steam copy of GTA V for it, I'll applaud you for five minutes straight.

Note: If XCOM 2 is purchased in Brazil, the software cannot be authenticated on computers outside of Brazil. (found this in bottom of this page https://www.humblebundle.com/store/xcom-2 )

Is this month having the first 7 game count? The checkout page says six more games are being added.
Comment has been collapsed.
Added the bundle to cart to see if I could use the coupon in case I decide to buy it, and it said on Feb 3rd I would get 6 more games.
Comment has been collapsed.
I played XCOM declassified. How XCOM 2 compares to it? If I enjoyed one, will I enjoy the other?
Comment has been collapsed.
Though they share the same universe (haven't played Declassified yet), the gameplay is different. But you'll like XCOM 2 and Enemy Unknown/Within cause they're really good.

Official answer from HB regarding region lock, received a few hours ago:
Dana (Customer Service)
Hi there,
Thanks for getting in touch with Humble Bundle Support, I would be happy to help out with this!
The keys given for the bundles are in accordance to the purchaser's region. If you were to gift to a user that is not within your region, the game would be inaccessible.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Have a great rest of the day :)
