Aren't those two separate things though? There's humble choice, which is basically what you describe, although you can just subscribe for a month if you're interested in the games and then immediately cancel your subscription. There's also a handful of regular bundles at any given time that are not linked to any subscription at all
You’ll occasionally get bundles before a new game or dlc releases. Those are generally pretty filled with content if you don’t already own some or most of it. For example Cities Skylines had a bundle with the first game and most of the dlc before 2 launched. It’s worth it to keep an eye on the homepage to pick up deals like that
I just use privacy and have my card paused until I see something worthwhile.
It's changed. You can see what games are in the Choice bundle before you pay for them. They make them visible as soon as the previous month's bundle ends.
Humble Choice isn't unknown, or at least hasn't been for a long time. I'm subscribed but they also give the option to skip as many months as you want, which I unfortunately take advantage of like 75% of the time.
Yes, that's exactly it. They changed the format a while ago. You get to see the entire bundle before you buy it, and can skip months as long as you want. I buy maybe 2 or 3 bundles a year and skip all the rest.
If you're not making extensive use of your Humble Choice discount in the store, you might want to consider canceling each month that you don't like the games instead. I cancel every month regardless, then throughout the month I get emails offering increasing discounts on the current month's bundle, until I eventually get an offer for one month for £4.50 a couple of days before the current bundle ends. It's resulted in me getting twice as many games for less than half the normal monthly price.
You're showing your ignorance here. They announce the monthly bundle at the beginning of the month and you have the entire month to 'pause' your membership for that month. If you pause you remain a subscriber but you don't pay for that month and you don't get the games for that month.
I can't believe this was upvoted.
