  2. In the last sale the upgrade DLC for Middle-earth: Shadow of War was $11.99 @ 60% off. The complete game was $14.99 @ 75% off, so if you're considering to buy it in the next sale this bundle key can save you (only) $3 in the US Steam store (assuming that the discounts will be the same).

  3. You can claim two free Two Point Hospital DLCs:

  4. You can claim a few free DLCs for GRIP:

    Do NOT waste your money buying all the characters separately! You might want to buy the upgrade pack instead. More info here.

Your New Year’s Resolution is...

View Results
[Recurring subscription] ...to play only good games this year and these seem to fit into that category.
[New subscription] …to never miss a good deal when I see one.
[Maybe subscribe] ...to ponder more before jumping into a decision.
[Have] …to stop hoarding games that I already own.
[Pausing] ...to be more responsible. Holiday’s gone. Back to school / work! No time to play games any more :(
[Non-subscriber, will not buy] … to fatten my savings account like a turkey before Christmas.
[Complaint] I just bought these in the sale. Refund time?
[Complaining subscriber] I paid for the Classic sub to get *all* the games, and now it's already just 10 out of 12...

Pause a month for me...

Of the three games in this bundle that appeal to me, I already own two.

EDIT - And a check of my library reveals that I forgot that I had the third one and just hadn't got around to playing it... Damned backlog. :P

Is it still possible to claim all of those games for keys/generate gift links on one page at once, we used to have with one click?

Since you have to literally choose games here (one by one), there's no take-all way. But the resulting keys will still all be listed on the same per-bundle Downloads page as it's always been.

It takes clicking five different "pause my subscription" buttons for them to accept it. I don't know if it has been like this before but either way it's rediculous.

It takes only one click to "unpause", they don't care even if it's a misclick

Really shows their priority. Assuming it was a misclick do you know if it is possible to pause again right away?

Unpausing involves buying, so no.

Really great one this month. Funny thing is I had Graveyard Keeper in my cart but chose to remove it since I wanted to get a bunch of DLC instead. Too bad Shadow of War still has Denuvo though.

3 wishlisted games so I'm taking this humble choice. Still, need to make some choice there.
Already had Graveyard Keeper that I reeeeally like, redeemed Two Point Hospital, Bad North and Them's Fightin' Herds still thinking about the rest

Already had Shadow of War, but with Graveyard Keeper, Bad North and Whispers of a Machine... I am happy. Might also check out Two Point Hospital since I have it now.

Eh, sometimes they have highly varied packs with no genre dominating. Granted, this race-inclined pack is still a bit more exciting than another half dozen puzzle platformers and/or side-scrolling rogue-lites…

I love puzzle-platformers, one of my favorite genres. On the other hand sports and fighting games are not my cup of tea. Would like more point & click ones, like Whispers of a Machine this month.

When we usually get like 4 platformers it's funny 2 racing games apparently triggers "so many racing games" in people.
Or is the dlc listings for them in the table that does it?

Three. :) Trailmakers is also a racing game.

If so that makes it easy to pick it as #10 for me.

Pretty good and I had a 3 dollar coupon so 9 bucks for ten games from which 4 were wishlisted. So far redeemed Dirt 2, GRIP, (I love racing games), Middle Earth and the Unrailed game, looked like something my wife would enjoy so I had it WL`ed. The other games look pretty good as well but will take a closer look before I redeem or gift. Bad North I got from EGS so that leaves 6 out of 7. All in all, pretty stoked.

Remember Shadow of War getting good amount of gunk said about it back in time when it was relevant.
It used to be full of paytowin lootboxes; those got removed in mid-2018. Looks like a good game now.

Anyone else who had to pay to renew the subscription first before bein able to choose games?
Though it would cash in automatically when you already had subscriptions before.

Yup. The same question appeared above: Humble does not assume you will want the current games, you have to manually indicate if you wish to unlock or pause (or be billed automatically on autocharge day if no action is taken).

Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition is cheaper in my region than BaseGame + Expansion Passes. Nice scam!

Pretty sure that applies everywhere tbh

But that's the normal way games are sold?
Otherwise you'd just buy the base game and expansion pass separately instead of the 2in1 bundle?

I don't get it.

this thing will never fix for itself if this "seems to be" supported by gaming community.

What you said is a materialization what I said before here.
This will keeps us gamers close to demos and away from full games for a long time.

Yeah, this is the rule for every game out there. It's like a tax for trying a game then buying dlc vs taking the plunge. That existed since the beginning of gaming.

This is a really good bundle, with the exception of dirt rally that needs you to buy seasons, most with car and track dlc of things that can already be found on the original Dirt rally.
Still, Rally has far better physics, handling and content than the old Dirt titles, so its not a bad deal, unless you really care for having the full content, which means you will have to pay a significant amount sooner or later on some Super Duper party pooper Deluxe Edition
