Is the world ready for Call of Duty Battle Royale Humble Monthlies?
ugh. I don't want COD:BO4. Can I gift it? I remember gifting Overwatch, so I presume it's possible if I don't decide to pause for a month :/

the gift option exists for some people, I think it might depend on region.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's weird. I read a few posts below this one that it's not available for you.
What regions have the gift link after all?

a trader told me he obtained two gifts, one from spain, one from US (see below for a proof).
(I'm from FR and cannot make a gift)

Lol, No. A MP only game, which is not even a full game. No thanks, Humble.

pff call of duty, for me is the most overrated videogame franchise
Comment has been collapsed.
To be considered overrated, it should be at least good first.
Comment has been collapsed.
To be considered under-rated, it should be good. Over-rated implies that it isn't as good as what people claim (and indeed, could actually be bad). FRANCHISE: The first few Call of Duty games were good, so there was something good to start off with.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Overrated" is just codeword for "i don't like this game for arbitrary reasons and i think nobody should". It's a meaningless concept. Most of the time, when people claim that this or that game is overrated is actually at least decent enough.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty accurate - it's a sign that someone doesn't like the game as much as the general public, or as much as they would like it. And easier to say that others are overdoing it, than just admitting not liking it, which is still perfectly okay. ( Like how I have no interest in any COD or Battlefield games, yet they are top sellers worldwide without any real effort)
Aaaand happy cakeday!

To be fair, it's perfectly possible to release a bad or mediocre game and still get tons of players (Infinite Warfare is a prime example). That still doesn't make it overrated, at least quality-wise. And often players will recognize how bad it is, but will keep playing it, as it was for me when i was playing Modern Warfare 3 years ago.

PAUSE.
Looking at the games I got for may (all of them on my ignore list) and that now early unlock is some Call of Duty Battle Royale shit PAUSE is the only option for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Guess another pause, maybe my nephew would enjoy the game but still not worth rthe risk since last time it turned out bad for me :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Eh. If it was giftable I wouldn't pause. But MP-only Call of Duty... for Battlenet... and not being able to gift/trade it makes it an instant pause.
Edit: If you go to pause, it gives you the option to get a $2 discount if you stay. Take it, then go back and pause the month. The coupon doesn't expire for 3 months, so you can use it on the hopefully better monthly after this one!
Comment has been collapsed.
Link your battlenet, then you get the gifting option
Comment has been collapsed.
They are already giving out 2$ discounts when trying to pause :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably because I already got 3$ off a few months ago :D
Comment has been collapsed.
It feels like Humble Monthly promotions are very random. Got the 3 dollar offer last month on my main account, but then I also got a gift a free month offer so I cancelled and used my second account to get AC:Origins for free (and gifted everything to myself lol). Now I got the $3 off on my second account but I haven't checked the offer for my main account. It has to be good though since I'm not really interested in Battle.net
(All this promotions feel desperate though)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, pretty random :D
I also got the free-gift-month and gave it to a friend, since I don't have a second account :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, but i guess it works for them :) im not complaining xD
I dont know why i have a second account btw, just made it a long time ago for some reason.
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright, but be careful ;)
They might get suspicious someday if you exploit the system that way more often :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, they might but its not forbidden i think. Instead of giving a free month to a friend, why not give everyone a free month? Or a 2 for 1 offer. It might work better for them :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the main purpose of that promotion was to get more people into getting a monthly :)
They don't really gain anything from giving a completely free month to people who are already buying monthlies, except positive PR :3
I did a quick search about the multi-account stuff and it seems like it's against their TOS: link to post
But that said...I haven't heard of anybody who got into trouble yet, so they may not punish this at the moment :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah i get that :) but it seems that they can use some positive PR right now lol. I recently bought 3 months for the price of two and that was the only promotion that got me buying multiple months so far, so imo that is good promotion. For the TOS its kind of grey since they are talking about a number per user which doesnt apply in this case. I am however aware that its not the ''nicest'' thing to do and that it is'nt meant to be used that way, but well i did xd. And if they punish, then well its my own fault :) For now i'm happy i got AC:Origins free which is also the only game of the month i'm actually interested in :D

If I don't claim this month's monthly, will I still lose 1 month?
Also, how do I pause?
Comment has been collapsed.
If you have multiple months bought and you want to skip (and not lose) a month then you have to go to manage your subscriptions and pause. Watch which buttons you click, they made it extra hard to cancel xD
EDIT: someone beat me lol
Comment has been collapsed.
Begrudgingly pausing - For me the later reveals month to month have ranged from amazing to meh, wherein May was a step above meh. If I could gift the early reveal here I'd have an easier time unpausing.
Publishers are wanting to kill the grey market, like Ubisoft is, with silent key activation :(
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't want this game and I can't even give it away either! Probably the first time I have ever seen a game from Humble Monthly not have a gift link option.
Comment has been collapsed.
It seems that you can gift it after all, if you link your Battle.net account.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't have a Battle.net account though. This feels like a sneaky move from Blizzard to get people to sign up to their store.
Comment has been collapsed.
Which is... a perfectly understandable move. If they did not want to draw players to their client, they wouldn't have agreed to bundling the game.

whats so good about the zombie mode for them to not include it ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Does anyone know, what exactly does it mean for me as an annual subscriber if they offer me 2$ off for the next month if I don't pause this month? Do I get 2$ wallet? Already paid the whole year, so how exactly do they intend to give me that discount?
Comment has been collapsed.
Afaik you will receive a coupon you can use at your own discretion.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not an annual subscriber but I just got a coupon for 2$ off from my next monthly. I was still able to pause this month and the coupon is valid till Aug 2, 2019 :) I'm sure I will find a use for that :P
Comment has been collapsed.
You can buy and gift someone a monthly with that discounted price (haven't tried it out myself but saw it as an option)
Comment has been collapsed.
Anyone know about the region lock on this as i might just try to trade for a copy as id like to try it but dont wanna risk spending money on a dead game?
Comment has been collapsed.
What means can not make gift link. Does it means it is not possible to give to anyone? Last time it was battle net game i could make a gift link as far as I remember. If something was changed then it would be very very bad. I will probably pause and if i can not make gift link i will pause for 10000%
Comment has been collapsed.
It means exactly that, that you cannot gift it to anybody. It sucks. The only way you could do it is by letting somebody gain control of your Humble Bundle account so they can redeem the game on their Battle.net account, or you gain control of their Battle.net account so you can redeem the game for them. Either way is too risky and definitely not worth it.
Comment has been collapsed.
It sucks hard. It means I will pause this month for sure as I am not interested in Early unlock and even can not give it to anyone. Also it is generaล rule or only in this one? I made today some hours ago gift link for a uplay AC but unpaused also today before reveal.
Comment has been collapsed.
You need to link YOUR battle.net account first, then you should be able to create your giftlink... as sources tell (not me as I'll probably skip this one)
