They were definitely on some "We'll see :)" shit when people asked about a PC release at first. It's still surprising. Especially the publisher.

That Humble Monthly is actually pretty great.
So many quality titles like Grimrock II, Towerfall and Valkyria Chronicles.

Humble so dumb for not allowing people to retroactively buy it. They would only make even more money by getting more accustomed to the monthly sub. At least for this first time obviously.

I'm surprised there's not a "you missed it? buy now for $20" option or something like that. I wonder if they'll give us any numbers in terms of how many people bought it. Probably not.

Publisher: PlayStation Mobile Inc.

W.. Wh.. Whaat?

One I thought PS Mobile was dead. Two Sony publishing on PC again?
Click to expand...

Kind of weird to have Sony publish the game with that name but SOE is dead so guess we'll have to stick with this. Looking good for some Sony games to come PC bound though. I also have to enjoy my PS4 copy of the game. Good thing I got that ultimate edition of Helldivers for $20.

I didn't get much value out of this one, might buy the next one anyway... but there's no real reason to keep it up rather than cancel and see the teases/leaks first, is there going to be another early one like Grim Rock 2?

That would be smart. Like a pre-order the monthly for $12 or pay $20 after release. Groupee styles.

If you subscribe now you get Towerfall Ascension.

Anyway this is basically what IndieRoyale did, only they actually used to reveal some games, and it was "buy now, pay X" or "buy later, pay more".

Already is. Towerfall is the 'early' game.

Guess they'll recycle a game from the previous months bundle.

BTW, the bonus for new people to sign up is Towerfall Ascension, which is in this month's bundle. Which means it's kind of in this month's and next month's bundle?

Humble Monthly's page states that each following month after the first month will have a game from the previous bundle as a bonus for signing up if you weren't subscribed already. Can't say for sure if you could cop multiple Towerfall copies if you got November, canceled, then resubscribed for December tho

5%. Does it really matter though? No one bought this bundle based on charity.
Click to expand...

I did, sorta.
If I could've ensured most of my $12 went to charity, I would've subbed much earlier.
However, it was someone's birthday and LoG2 was on their wishlist, so I figured I'd just sub to humble monthly as an experiment and have extra goodies for people when I already owned everything.

(Pleasant surprise: I at least got a +1 out of SanctuaryRPG. So I didn't own it all... that's something at least. Plus 4 good guys got some games out of it, so that's also a win.)

You don't get bonus when resubscribing.

You can only get the bonus game once. That's why Grimrock 2 was considered part of this bundle, but going forward it's just a bonus.

Charity to your friends is better charity anyway :)

Just follow a game like Towerfall on Steamspy in the next few days. The jump in sales will equal the number of bundles sold.

Eh, not really. There's no way to know how many people already had it, and it's well known that plenty of people don't activate all of their games from bundles. I guess if you went through all of the games and made that comparison you could get a minimum baseline, but if it's only 5-10k bundles then it would disappear in the margin of error anyway.

Let's be realistic here. Sony putting stuff up on Steam is probably a one time or exceedingly rare deal due to Arrowhead being PC folk through and through.They're going to leave folks with a bigger set of blue balls than NIS did with Cladun x2. Fitting really since that's their corporate colour these days.

Also I see the 'you can't take my exclusives!' paranoia has started already.

It's a good value if one wants all of these games, I guess. But then, the lack of DLCs in some further brings it down. It's much easier to buy Saints Row IV: Game of the Century than to get all of its DLC, which makes SRIV useless to those that value these things.

They probably want people that got the base game to buy the dlc , and make even more money.

First they came for HELLDIVERS but I did not speak up as it was some indie game that I always complain about getting added to my PS+ Subscription...
