Imagine there's no monthlies, it's easy if you try
really would like to get this game to my collection, but it is not even steam code, makes me really sad, since i haven't got anything on battle.net and don't like it overall, since some leaks about BO 4 being also available also on battle.net mby its time to stop support Activision.

Try Starcraft 2 on Battlenet. It is a fun scifi game with the first chapter Wings of LIberty for free. Also a fun rpg like Diablo 3.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just try SC2 Wings of Liberty. It is free anyways. It is a really fun game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup. SC2 Wings of Liberty is free now. I got it for $5 a long time ago, and the other SC2 expansions in good deals as well. Diablo 3 is better with Reaper of Souls. Just get the Diablo 3 battlechest on sale. I still don't have Necromancer, but I have read it is not necessary.

The easiest answer is "people like to complain, and people REALLY like to complain about Humble since IGN took over."
Humble monthly is an AMAZING deal overall if you're a PC gamer.
Is every single game going to be awesome? Of course not.
Is it a little bit ridiculous that Humble is "making an exception" to their own stated rule? Yes, it is. They should absolutely be called out on this.
Is Humble a little bit worse under IGN than it was previously? Maybe a little bit.
Is Humble monthly still an amazing deal? Unquestionably. There is simply no better value in the world of PC gaming.
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree the criticism is over the top, but value can be a subjective concept.
Take last month's bundle. In a pure retail value to bundle price comparison, it's an amazing deal. However, it would be a bad deal for me as I'm not particularly interested in playing any of those games. I'd be throwing money away for games to sit endlessly on a backlog.
I can certainly understand people regarding bundles as subjectively bad. Again, I think the criticism is excessive, but it's not without some basis.

Crap game first.

Incomplete crap game.

and so one :D.
The real question is what is good for this EA ???
Comment has been collapsed.
For me at least, there's no other reason for the hate.
Just that they specifically said "all games will have steam keys" and this is the headliner and it doesn't, and that's not what I signed up and paid for, and they don't offer any alternative besides skipping.
And skipping of course causes me to lose out on whatever other games there will be, and makes me have to stick with the yearly sub for a month longer.
Comment has been collapsed.
Micro-transactions
Secret XP choking
Requiring DLC to play base game content
"Events" which are just DLC fests that cost $1000 to collect all items
More lying
Even more lying
Even after all this time still having less content than Destiny 1
Removing D1 content for "balance reasons" then adding them in DLC
And I probably missed a couple more things.

is there any chance this month could be a "non-steam" month ??? i hope they don't give us other unreveal games on uplay, origin, gog, etc....

Wow, I didn't know about the Destiny game, searched for some reviews and found various saying that game is so easy\dumb, you can complete levels by just walking forward, if you don't kill enemies they will stand in front of you just to be killed...
Is this true? I asked some friends and most said that Borderlands is better. That game I do know and enjoyed.

What does this mean in the thread description?
For Destiny 2 activation, your Battle.net and Humble Bundle account regions must match.
Battle.net available regions:Americas & SouthEast Asia
Does this mean any copy of HB Monthly bought in SEA region will be able to activate at NA region?
Comment has been collapsed.
Doesn't sound like it. If you change your Battle.net region to Asia it might work, but I'd check for confirmation first.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea, should work at Asia region only but the thread description mentioned like that?
I am so confusing about that statement.
Comment has been collapsed.
And that is the problem with it. They promised all games would have steam keys, this game has no steam key, and the only alternative is to pause, which means you miss the other Steam keys.
Hm. Could of course treat the bundle as if it had no Destiny and thus no early unlock, and hope the rest will still be worth it.
Comment has been collapsed.
No really, I have a solution for that also group buy or buying from reselers, did this before and I will do it again :D.

Found some laws
Here is Humble's description: "The games come in the form of Steam keys or DRM-Free downloads, and are compatible with Windows and sometimes Mac and Linux!"
The law: "A purchased item has a major problem when it:
-has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about it
-is significantly different from the sample or description
[...]"
Well I certainly wouldn't have gotten an annual subscription if I had known that they would require using alternate DRM to Steam. And since they said it will be a Steam key or DRM-Free, and it requires Battle.net, then this is indeed significantly different from the description. So therefore this product has a major problem.
Here is the law: "If the problem is major or cannot be fixed, the consumer can choose to:
-reject the goods and obtain a full refund or replacement, or
-keep the goods and seek compensation for the reduction in value of the goods."
Comment has been collapsed.
The moment you decide to get the early unlock you know that it's a Battle.net key. If you don't want it you can pause the subscription for the month, yet you didn't, accepting the key knowing it's not a Steam key. At that moment I don't think you can complain about anything,
Comment has been collapsed.
The service they are currently providing does not match what they described prior to subscribing. Having the option to skip a month is good, and I will in fact do that, but it doesn’t change the fact that the service isn’t as described. Therefore a refund still has to be granted if I were to pursue one.
If I buy a year subscription to a magazine, described as “only about automobiles” and then one month there’s randomly one about gardening, even if I can skip that once off dud, I still won’t be happy that they are blatantly breaking their word as a service provider.
I shouldn’t have to pause a month because the service being provided is different to what was advertised
It is a seller’s obligation and guarantee under law to provide us with the product that was advertised.

Asked for $5 in place of Destiny 2 like some countries get, but they just told me to pause and get lost, and law-wise they're right: Pausing means I get my 11.67 back for the month (they get tacked on to the end of my yearly subscription, then).
No, I'm not happy with this, and I was already annoyed enough with Humble and their support in the past year that I have been zeroing out the humble tip every time I bought a bundle ;>

@sensualshakti
can you confirm [Americas & SouthEast Asia] is a single region? where does this info como from because someone sent me this link: https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Destiny-2-PC-Region-Definitions
says very different things about regions.
Comment has been collapsed.
The regions listed are taken indeed from the Battle.net account creation page.
This refers to the retail version, but are you sure that these are indeed the regions that Humble Bundle also uses?
We don't know what kind of keys Humble Bundle provides (Activision might as well have generated a special set of keys for Humble Bundle, who knows).
If you look through the comments on this thread, you'll see several inconsistencies between the key provided by Humble Bundle and the Battle.net regions. Take this comment for example. According to your link, it should be part of the Asia region lock and according to Battle.net regions, it should be redeemable on a SEA account, yet the activation doesn't work :D
As usual with Humble Bundle, everything is a mess.
TL; DR: No, nothing can be confirmed at the moment.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can for a fact deliver this information to the community:
In the case of Humble Monthly Bundles bought in Latin America, you will get a key locked to Latin America I will call this the ACTIVISION Region 2, as stated by the link https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Destiny-2-PC-Region-Definitions
However, when you finish activating, you will learn that BLIZZARD does not have a Latin America Region, but a unified "Americas Region" hence you will all be playing on the same servers.
If you hear anyone saying Latin American keys are tradable NA keys and you can trade them, they are wrong. Do not do this. Just because you both play on the same servers does not mean you can activate the same keys, they are different kinds of keys.

I don't get the hate.
Every informed gamer should have known that Destiny 2 only is available via the Blizzard App. It is an Activision game, the company is called Activision Blizzard, they are trying to push their own platform just like U-Buy-Soft(ware) and EA are doing. Now, do we need as many platforms? That is a completely other debate. It's just that no informed gamer should complain that he didn't get a Steam key for Destiny 2 because it is more than well known that there are no Steam keys for Destiny 2.
Now, considering Destiny 2: It is a AAA game. Granted, it focuses on the multiplayer aspect of a shooter, which might not be for everyone. I myself will never play Destiny 2 in multiplayer. The singleplayer campaign is short, as always is with these shooters, but done quite nicely.
So, as an early unlock we get a AAA game which still is 59.99$ if bought via Blizzard Store and which before yesterday I have never seen cheaper than 26$ on the grey market.
The monthly is 12$ (and you will even get more games than just Destiny 2). I call that value for money.
Comment has been collapsed.
My personal opinion and note that this is just for my case alone. I get humble monthly for steam games. I don't want to run multiple different platforms or multiple different games libraries, I like all my games in one place and I committed to steam. The Humble Monthly also seemed committed to steam too so it appeared like a good match. I don't mind that Destiny 2 is there, but to me it's value is $0 because it will sit there untouched. I paused this month but I'll be watching for the guarantee that the rest of the games will be steam games and then I'll un-pause again, because as you said at $12 it is value for money, I just don't think for me I can take any more 0 value games in the bundle. At least usually if I don't like a game I can give it away on Steam Gifts...
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for your answer. I can appreciate your way of thinking, although it is different from mine.
Me, I always try to get my games on Steam, because I have the most games there. But if a Uplay key is cheaper than a Steam key, I go for the Uplay key to save money. In the end, the game won't play any different if it is on Steam or Uplay or Origin or Galaxy or..
But that's just my way of handling things and I know that my way is not the only way.
Considering the 0$ value:
Quite frankly, it is hard for me to understand why you don't want to get the Blizzard App (maybe you're not into Blizzard games), but I accept that.
I guess the only other way is to either give the key to a friend (since you can't give it away at SG) or to sell it on the grey market. Prices did plummet since yesterday, sure, but the key is still worth approx. 12-13$. That's the price for this month's bundle, so theoretically you could get this month's game for free. But I fully understand if someone doesn't want to touch the grey market. I have never sold anything there, so I can't really help with that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I definitely wasn't trying to offend so I'm glad you could see I was only saying from my angle. I'm actually very negative about Blizzard games now, I was a huge Warcraft, Diablo 2 fan and Starcraft fan but when Starcraft 2 came with no lan mode and then Diablo 3 was so very bad I just gave up on them. Loved World of Warcraft too, had one of the oldest guilds on Barthilas but it just became a rinse and repeat game. Everything they did all I saw was money making schemes so I just gave up and now I can't stand them, hence why installing Battle.net for Destiny 2 makes it a $0 game for me. That's just Blizzard too, I don't even want to start on Activision! haha
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't get me wrong, I still got every character tricked out, was over 900 paragon I think when I quit. But I started to enjoy Path of Exile more than Diablo 3 and that really annoyed me because PoE was free and Diablo 3 was even charging for a new character class, once again I saw a money grab. But yeah taste differs alright, I can't stand point and click or puzzle games, even retro games I struggle to enjoy, yet they all seem to be getting more and more popular!
Comment has been collapsed.
It is not just about it being for a different platforms (there have been UPlay/Origin Humbles as well) or being an MP shooter (this is like the what, fifth MP shooter early unlock by now?). It is also about Destiny 2 being infamously infamous for being a purposefully overgrindy grindfest that pushes the players towards lootboxing and microtransactions, with features downgraded compared to the older game just for this very reason. Despite the usual super high-score bought reviews, Destiny 2 has devastatingly terrible user scores, especially its PC version.
This is fishing for new suckers for their glorified lootbox grinding money machine, nothing more.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can see that. On the other hand, we always pay for a bundle without knowing what games we will end up with. This means there will always be surprises, positive or negative. That doesn't mean that the world is doomed or the sky will fall down on us, just because one game is a personal disappointment :)
(Not talking specifically to you, but in general)
Comment has been collapsed.
Another problem is that, when I got my annual plan, I was informed that I would get either Steam keys or DRM-free games. Yeah, I can pause my subscriptions for a month, but what if they keep doing it? My main issue is not the game per se -- it's not rare to get disappointed in the selection, but I DID sign up for that risk -- it's actually the fact that they delivered something different than promised. That's not only a douche move, but also against the law.
I hope they offer alternatives for people who don't want Destiny 2. I'd gladly take Prototype 2 or the $5 voucher.
Comment has been collapsed.
This.
Sadly support said "no. you can pause" to my request for alternatives.
Comment has been collapsed.
Here's the message I sent them:
"When I paid for my annual plan, I had read that all my games would be either Steam keys or DRM-free. Now, you guys just decide it's alright to give something else. It's not. Not only that, it's against the law. Even if I do pause for a month, what guarantee do I have that you won't do that again, especially since now you've added that text that warns customers there might be exceptions?
At the very least, you should give people the choice to trade Destiny 2 for either Prototype 2 (on Steam) or the $5 credit on Humble Store, like was offered to people who were region-locked and couldn't activate D2.
Do the right thing. We are customer, and we have rights. If not for us, do it for yourselves, since that terrible move will come back to haunt you when you start losing subscribers. Be humble, and admit you've made a huge mistake."
I think they don't want to offer alternatives because they bought many keys, and they're afraid they won't know what to do with them. Or maybe they've made a deal with Bungie, and are not allowed to offer alternatives (since they'll try to push the DLC on people). Maybe they were just plain stupid, and not malicious at all. If the latter is the case, they really should fix it. There's time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Let me know if you have better luck than me.
(In the past, other people have had better luck than me, like getting the $20 wallet credit even though they subscribed 2 weeks earlier for $10, while I was told the usual "sorry but nope")
I guess there's a tiny bit of hope left that if enough people complain, they will offer alternatives after all. I'd actually rather sell my Destiny 2 back to humble for $5 wallet than for 6 EUR on the grey market, which is what will probably happen otherwise (but I'll wait and see what happens first and whether there will be more early unlocks I don't want.)

I will give credit where credit is due. That's the official IGN channel and they did say 9 more games in addition to Destiny 2, then said 9 again for added emphasis. Maybe HB's page is just boilerplate because it's always been 6 more games in addition to the early unlock in the past.

I don't mind games for other platforms in the Humble Monthly. I just don't like Destiny. 😄

It is also not that a good game... + several expensive DLC on the way.
I am sure people would bother if it was Overwatch for example.
Comment has been collapsed.
With the early amount of displeasure as noted on this thread, it would not surprise me at all if they did some early reveals like last month to try and get customers back on side. I would wait and see what games are coming before making a decision on pausing.
