Hi all,

I'm a new subscriber to Humble Choice and signed up for the first time last month. I have a few questions about the member perks I've seen mentioned:

1) I heard you can download some DRM-free games in the Humble vault or app or something. Is there a list somewhere of the games included? If not, does anyone know if there's anything decent in there!?

2) Do you need to keep the app in order to play the games?

3) I paid for November but will probably skip December as there isn't much I'm interested in this month. If I use the store discount now, will that tie me into having to pay for December as we're already in December? Likewise with the vault games. If I want to download some games now, will that mean I have to pay for December or can I use either of these benefits then still skip this month in a few days?

4) Is it best to skip or cancel if you're hoping for a coupon?

I should have explored these before the new games were announced but left it too late.

Thanks :)

for question 3(well part of it at least).

using your discount won't lock you into getting December, however skipping December now will disable the discount.

re 1)
It's not longer a the case I think

re 4)
Hard to say - 95% For some period of time I was cancelling, now I skip.

I think last 3 years show that it's better to skip.. but I might be wrong.

Here you go-- I think they're just installers, like GOG, not sure-- have been consistent in my sub since I signed up for Choice last year....

No worries, gotta go the extra step for your NWFT user pic 😅😅

How's your spotify wrapped type thing coming out? On Reddit, someone just turned me on to Set to Stun and Famous Last Words-- may be fun for you too?

You need a HB choice sub to download them. Once the sub ends I believe you can still play the games your DL but you won't be able to DL anymore games.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case.

In order to download games from the Humble Bundle Chest, you first need to install the Humble Bundle Windows app. As mentioned, you can play the games as long as they're installed. You can only download and install them as long as you're a Choice Subscriber.

If you want a coupon you can try "cancelling" your subscription and they may offer you a discount on the spot. However I have not paid for Choice for a long time, I don't know the exact requirements for that to trigger and I don't know if is still a thing either, but I am pretty sure I got a coupon like that a couple of times.
