That's about a 40% increase in the amount I have been paying for years without fail, partially at the threat of if I cancel, I lose my grandfathered pricing.

And frankly the quality of the bundles has been dropping for a while.

I guess I finally cancel then. What a silly way to lose business

Edit: and cancelled, happy there was a text box for me to tell them why I'm gone. 8 years of paying monthly apparently

I’m surprised you lasted this long on it I stopped 5+ years ago because of lacklustre offerings. It used to be so awesome :(

There was the odd diamond in the rough, but I agree it has been getting increasingly worse.

Weirdly enough I was staying subscribed because if I quit I'd lose my current price for good. Makes no difference now

While there might have been an odd diamond in the rough I saved so much by cancelling HB and just buying the game directly

On mobile, the feedback selection / form doesn’t have a submit button 🙃

Yup. Though I've been pausing more and more lately. The months where I already own the games because I loved them are ones that I can't blame them for. But there's been plenty that I just wasn't interested in.

I also cancelled some time ago when I found out the risk of losing my "classic bundle" benefits was nonsense because Humble Bundle had already eliminated those benefits for everyone. Added to this, they charged me for a few bundles even though I had specifically paused because I was not interested in what was offered. From time to time they do offer pretty sweet deals though, but I don't see the point of keeping a subscription there anymore.
