Will this be an OMG-month for you?

View Results
[Recurring subscription] Overall, this looks like an interesting enough selection to me, worth getting it.
[New subscription, Steam] Regardless of what everyone else says, $6 for these is a steal. Heck, Iโ€™d even be willing to pay $12.
[Maybe subscribe] Iโ€™m not really sure what to think about these games, theyโ€™re unknown to me. I guess Iโ€™ll wait and see in what direction the general opinion goes.
[Pause] My backlog increased substantially due to the recent Steam and non-Steam sales. It seems more useful to focus on the newly acquired games rather than buying this pack.
[Cancelling / will not buy] This month is more than just a mere โ€PAUSEโ€, it's for sure a Classic Plan canceler.
[Obligatory option] But I just bought these in the sale!!!
[Complaint] Do you too feel a sudden Surge to refund Fanatical's Platinum Collection from the other day?

This one is right on the line for me. I own ADOM - I'm a great ADOM fan, I've been playing it for 20+ years, since the olde days when it was ASCII postcardware (free, but with an ask to send a postcard saying thanks). Paradise Killer is high on the wishlist, recommended by friends. Of the rest, most fall into the "looks interesting but will I ever actually play it" bag. Overall the game quality looks good enough that I'll probably get it and hope for interest and mood to strike, even though there's not much that makes me excited, especially.

And it's great to see ADOM on a big platform!

I am also very happy to see ADOM it's actually the game in the bundle that's keeping it going for me. Likewise, I am also excited to try Paradise Killer. :-) I am happy for Yakuza but I have only played 0, not even 1 or 2 yet, so 3 is a bit of a reach at this point.

Okay, now I'm really torn. My original plan was the following:
If the Humble Choice bundle is bad, skip
If the Humble Choice bundle is good, buy it and use the 20% discount to buy Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Now, for me the bundle is basicly right in the middle. The Surge 2 sounds nice, but I won't play it for a while. Also, Nimbatu, ADOM, Paradise Killer and maybe Dirt 5 look kinda nice. So I would probably buy it only to get the 20% discount for Horizon: Zero Dawn.

But then I saw that Horizon: Zero Dawn doesn't get a 20% discount on Humble Store, so it's still 29.99 โ‚ฌ no matter what.
But then again, you can currently buy Horizon: Zero Dawn on allyouplay.com for 24.56 โ‚ฌ.

Now I'm not sure:
Do I buy a bundle that's good, but not great?
Do I buy Horizon: Zero Dawn from a site I don't know?

Just my two cents here:
If you do not currently have any good coupon/deal on HB, but you have something to play, I would wait if they offer some discount again ($6/month, etc.).
If you have a good deal (= $6/month or anything you think is worth it) I would buy HB Choice.
If you want to play Horizon: Zero Dawn and do not want to wait, I would buy Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Even losing out that 20% discount HZD is amazing game if you're interested in. I'd say go for that one. You can always try to win other games in here.

I know it is a keyseller since we don't know where they get their keys from but for years I've been a happy customer of cdkeys. One time i could even return a revealed ubisoft key because I didn't saw it was ubisoft and not steam. There was no problem and i got my money back.

They sell HZD for under โ‚ฌ19,-. and I got mine from there like half a year ago. Just didn't take the time to play it yet.

As far as i know AllYouPlay is an official store not a key reseller so it should be safe to buy from them, the store also shows up in ITAD, and ITAD doesn't lists keyshops only official retailers.

For about the same price HZD is on Wingamestore, from which I bought some keys just fine. Just be aware that they do show โ‚ฌ but because they see you're from Europe so they just convert the $-price (in this case $29,99) to EUR, you'll only see $-price when the game's in your shoppingcart. I converted through PayPal currency calculator and it says it's about โ‚ฌ24,50

I'd def recommend getting HZD, took me almost 70 hours to complete because I did every quest possible (100%-ed everything ingame, almost 100%-ed in Steam cheevos) and I enjoyed every minute of it.

HB kinda decided for me in the end... I went to pause and they threw a $4 coupon in my face. Eh. Overall, the bundle is still a gigantic "maybe?" as I still don't know what I'd keep, but $8 for all of those is a good deal.

The only games that are showing Trading Cards on their Store page's are these games...
.The Surge 2
Hammerting
ADOM (Ancient Domains Of Mystery)
Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor
Deadly Days

Above it says that Yakuza 3, ELDERBORN Metal AF Edition, and Paradise Killer also spawn cards. Is that correct? I know that there are games out there that give cards but don't show it

You can click the link on the red heart. It will redirect you to a page with the card drops on steam card exchange. It should be safe to assume that they give cards from there.

That's crazy that they haven't updated the store pages when they added Trading Cards. and I've seen a list out there somewhere that lists games that have cards that aren't advertised as such on the game's store page just like these games, although I can't remember where I saw this list, I thought it was in the boards here and couldn't find it.
I guess when you take a look at all those pages that need updated it would probably seem like a big undertaking to fix all at once, but you'd think publishers for each individual game would at least take some initiative on this because it IS a selling point whether you're a card hater or a someone who loved farming more than playing games.

If I get Yakuza 3 like this will it count towards the steam Yakuza Remastered bundle discount ?
In other words will I get a discount on the 3 game bundle on steam if I decide to buy the rest at a later stage

The bundle is "Must purchase together" (as opposed to "Complete the set"), so if you activate it now, you'll need to pay for it again if you want to buy that bundle.

Ha! Thanks Spudette, will give it a shot too. I went from $6 to $19.99, so cancelled and they offered $3 off. So, still cancelled. Will see if contacting them helps :)

The first response I received was an escalation to higher up as it required someone to look at it/issue a coupon.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I made it a point to say that I didn't pause - as you can easily check that from the billing history + I'm sure the older coupon activated correctly as I was charged 6$ for June.

If you do get another coupon, it didnt work for me if I tried to click on it (takes me to 19.99 page but also gives me a warning I already had a sub), but it did work when I tried to claim a game for July's bundle, a small windows shows up saying it will cost me 6$ and I also checked my subscription and it says next month I'll be charged 6$ aswell :) lets hope it remains true xD should take a screenshot for proof in case this happens again I guess :p

Good luck!

Cool, thanks again. I had not paused for 7 months and would usually insta-unlock at @ $6 - it was only last night I cancelled for the 1st time when it was clear they wanted my to pay $19.99. I'd heard that last month, some people received the coupon again, but as I'd bought instantly (seeing it was still $6), I think they assumed I'd be willing to pay $19.99 and are trying to "upgrade" my payments. Think I acted too fast last month which seemed like a bonus month, lol.

They offered for $12 xD
Not gonna bite - will try again in a few days for $6 or nothing :D
Their problem is of course, trying to find the max that everyone is prepared to pay without having a universal price. Not easy, but I'm guessing they want to keep numbers of subscribers up, whilst not having too low an average price. I may have acted too late if their average price is too low at the moment. All pure speculation from my side of course.

Ah, you had a premium account originally, I guess thats them trying to "compromise".

As I had a classic, offering me 12$ wouldn't be much of an offer I suppose, though if you had the 6x6 promo and it disappeared on Is own, its a subpar offer nonetheless.

2 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Sort of - I was on Classic since 2017 and have never paid over $12, but had paused for a few months in 2020. I was misled by some online posts that said you need to cancel the Classic to get the $6 coupon - which I did. Was happy just to see out 6 months at $6 and was going to concentrate on my embarrassingly large back-log. Which I'm still happy to do, but $6 is a price I'm prepared to pay and amplify the embarrassment :D

There is probably more to it though - purchase history over the years, maybe library size, country etc. If I don't bite at $12 this month, perhaps they'll offer it next month.

That's a shame what happened with your classic! Though I'm in the same boat and am just one bad event/offer away from stepping out.

At the time of the first 6x6, there was rumours that you would lose your classic after the 6x6 ran out, and I just went with it figuring if it did happen, it'd be reason enough for me to drop HB - as you said, the backlog is embarrassingly big now xD

So it might've been a good thing for you after all.

I tried to reach out to support about $6 deal extension and that what I got:
"Thank you for reaching out to us at Humble Bundle Support!
I want to apologize for any frustration caused by not including you in our most recent $6/ 6 month Humble Choice promotion. We are always trying out new ways to grow and expand our user base for Humble Choice. Unfortunately, we cannot always offer promotions to each of our customers as they are usually directed at certain groups. This is in no way a reflection of our appreciation for your support, and I want to truly thank you for reaching out and making your voice heard! We are constantly working to improve the promotions for Humble Choice and we believe that this can only be accomplished by listening to feedback from our community members.
Rest assured that we will send this feedback to our teams internally. While we cannot guarantee that this will result in a promotion that you qualify for, they will keep this feedback in mind when deciding on future promotions.
Thank you again for your support, and please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns!"
So I may or may not get this deal. It's pretty vague anwser. I'll wait I guess.

Personally, I don't think this is vague. It's just usual customer service where they don't want to outright say "no, we can't give this to you" and try to remind you that "you may get this some point in time...so don't be too disappointed". but that's the same for any of us here, if whatever system determines your account qualifies or perhaps this is just a random lottery system xD

One of the better ones for me, personally. A couple of wishlisted games, and several more that I am at least interested. A few I'm not familiar with, so I'll have to look into those, but at least there is nothing here that I already own (which I think is maybe only the second time that's happened).
