It's pretty much this for me. This is why I only buy it if I care for the game that's the face of the month. Won't be picking up July's, for sure. I rarely buy into the monthly's, but c'mon. Dark Souls 2?

Dark Souls 2 Sins is such an odd choice though. It's gone down in price during many a sale, including on their own site, so why have that as the focus?
Unless they are trying reverse psychology with us to make us think "well if the main game isn't that expensive, maybe the bigger price title is one of the hidden ones". I doubt it, but it would be amusing to me.

...I thought the recent monthly was good, but all I owned was Maize. Which btw, I think Maize will surprise some of y'all.
I think one problem with knee-jerk reactions to bundle games is it's basically judging a book by its cover if you haven't played it already.

Yea its not a bad bundle, ts just a bad bundle for me as i don't play strategy games. I sold Stellaris for $6, so $6 for Maize and Superhot I am okay with. Was just hoping for some of those fine metroidvanias.

Oh trust me, Strategy Games are my least favorite genre which many PC gamers seem to love. I love horror games the most and Humble rarely has them, so I go into these kind of open minded.
Monthly is weird for me since it often taps into genres I'm usually not that big on, so as a result I usually don't own most of the games. Occasionally they have something I was interested in but was waiting for a steeper price drop or when I was in a good financial position (like SuperHot this month), but I'm kind of open to whatever rolls about. It also probably helps that I like to give away things I own to friends though.
But I will admit the type of game to usually make me the least interested in something is strategy games, I can enjoy the occasional one but I already have more than enough for me in my current game library.
Yaaaaaaaa, about that ...

When are the new games on chrono.gg revealed?
Probably in 2 hours or so, that's around when previous batches were done.

The only thing which bugs me about the bundle is that:
- it includes Stellaris, which is a 4X game,
- two weeks ago, Endless Space 2 was released, which I already own due my taking advantage of a price mistake during Early Access.
HOT
Stellaris - own
Plague Inc - own
Superhot - own
Ashes of Singualirty: Escalation - own
Brigador - do not own
Shoppe Keep - own
Maize - do not own
Yeah, still not subbing.

Okay.
Considering I have 7k8 coins and am three days away from a big chest, this is good news. I can buy both if they somewhat interest me.
Good for you.
Thanks.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Oh boy, free Poop

Thank you for the update, looking forward to next month.
My prediction is still not subbing, but the anticipation is literally killing me!!

Yeah wonder how they calculate the gg coin value?
There is no coin value. The bait was Brigador. You all started connecting daily to the chrono.gg coin page, because why not, it is only a minute a day. Soon enough, you have this daily routine ingrained into your brain. Everyday, you think about connecting to the website, you see the chrono.gg deal because it just next to the coin button, and maybe some of you, one day, will fall for it, or advertise the deal here. It is called gamification of an online store. It works well for F2P games: Duelyst does it (connect everyday for a basic card), Knightfall Rivals does it (timed chests), etc.
Wow, wasn't Brigador like 5000 coins and it's almost a 20 game?

I took the poop and walked away from the coin.

You're right, but I'm fighting the system and resisting to buy anything just because I know what they are up to.
But still the coin prices they put on games seem to be quite random. Still, it's free games, think I've already got three games. But think I will give it a rest after the next chest, because I can't see myself keeping that streak going.Dusk Golem

Once enough people take a rest, there will be a great deal for just slightly more coins that you have.
Alienware does it too. I got to level 5 or 6 to get Wuppo for free. Never again.

Was this clarified anywhere? Sounds fair to me though.
Even a niche name-not-out-there dev like me has been able to make $1000 individually in revenue on two separate $1.99 products (the rest of mine is free) because of a positive rating and word of mouth on Steam. One of those two was a $1.99 piece of DLC for a freeware game I made.
I know some games haven't made that amount, and to note this is solely based on what it would sell on Steam, not on outside bundles sites or anything else if true. But curious where the source is.
Just saw the humble Monthly and even if I didn't have the majority of the items, what was in there was a bit of a disappointment, removing Stellaris which made me buy in early. I guess I get to try SUPERHOT.
Dark Souls 2 as the early unlock is't gonna make me buy in early though for the next one.

So basically just throw something up with anime tiddies and steam cards and you'll recoup your cost almost instantly

Is Witcher 2 worth playing? or should I just skip straight to 3?

Just saw Rami Ismail talking about it on Twitter. Not entirely sure where he got it but Rami seems as trustworthy a source as any.
Completely, it's an amazing game

Newly released Steam Games can't have trading cards anymore on release (except for those who were approved before this change that haven't released yet), in the future all trading cards will only become available after Valve decides it should become available to you (they didn't give any metrics, but It's already in effect as I've seen some people asking about why they can't add cards to their game on the Steam Developer Discussion Board).
