Nope, you get one game from the previous month (in this case it's Payday 2) but you miss out on all the others.

Nope. You'll only get Payday 2 and the January bundle.

Now I'm seing up 22k and 25k. Between 22k and 25k subscribers with a price tag of 12$ per month seems like a decent success for humblebundle.

Where do you guys sell your Steam keys? I would be interested in buying a Chroma Squad key, which should be cheaper if it was featured in this bundle.
its so weird. Their entire incoming market is always going to be people who wished they had been a part of the last month, but the games they wanted were last month, so theyr somewhat destined to be disappointed when its very different games the next month.

This is only part of their market: gamblers and all...
Most of their market consists in people who want to discover new indie games.

so um...
I did this for the first time on the 2nd or something of this month, and they just charged me already for January's bundle. Is that the way they handle it? Something to do with the holidays maybe?

Well, Friday is January 1st, so next bundle is coming in 8-9 days, that's why i guess.
Nah it comes out around the 9th of the month actual.

Monthly bundle comes on the first Friday of the month, so January 1st is correct.
I just checked my emails and I was charged for this current bundle on November 27th. Hopefully the earlier charge this month is just because of the holidays around this time of year and not a trend of the charge getting earlier and earlier.

Yeah same here. Actually I was about to unsubscribe, but kinda forgot. Gotta do it now.

Wow, actually not bad for 12. Not sure how low it's been before, but that plus four or five other games for 12 seems like pretty solid value for that month.

oh damn thats worth $12 alone
the wording is different.
previously it was order feb's bundle get this game.
this pay early thing I feel is new.
i mean it is likely still the game from the jan bundle that you will get for getting the feb bundle, but I wonder if they want people to commit earlier for extra stuff and starting next month you can opt into getting charged early to unlock a game.
Yup. I already have it, but as a gift item (bought during the last sale, so too late for a refund). I'm wondering if I should maybe try to sell it and buy this bundle.
Edit: So, this is part of February's bundle? As in, I'll need to wait for January to finish and the pre-sale for February starts?
dave is ok
aztek is ok
No. This is part of the January bundle but also the pre-order game for February

if so that is good - except I own it on Steam. Here is hoping I don't own the other 5.
Ah, okay. Thanks!
Hmm, still debating if I should get this. Definitely would if I didn't have a Steam gift copy.

Does anyone have a list of all the games that have been offered so far in these subscriptions?
I'd like to jump in, but I worry a bit too much if it's just going to be stuff I already bought.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It's the entire point of the bundle, though.
It would have no reason to exist if it operated on the basis of you knowing exactly what you're getting and making an informed decision to buy it.

No, you can cancel after January.
You can subsribe now and cancel it right away to get the january bundle.
It says I have to pay for the February's bundle to get access...can I cancel it afterwards?
EDIT:
Gotcha, thanks! Definitely subbing now then.
If the rumor is correct the game will be in the january bundle and also as a bonus game for new subscribers in the february bundle.
November
Towerfall Ascension
Besiege
Valkyria Chronicles
Lethal League
Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition
Saints Row IV
Legend of Grimrock 2 (Preorder bonus)
December
Banished
Rust
Payday 2 (+ 3 DLC)
Neon Struct
Chroma Squad
Company Of Heroes 2 (+ Western Front Armies + British Forces)
Edit: Looking at this list, I have a feeling that Alien Isolation will be the only game I want in the bundle. VC, Grimrock 2 and Banished were the only games I wanted from the last 2 months, and I had all 3. Think I'll pass on this as well.
I would so be throwing likelys around in regards to getting alien (though in your case I think you are just saying buy it and cancel and still get the bundle which is cool, but realized after I made this post >.>)
as I said the wording is different from all of their other promos trying to get people to get signed up (the previous ones asked you to subscribe this one is saying pay now as in paying early for it compared to a week before)
vs
completely possible they are trying a different tactic to keep more subs by either letting people get extra games by paying early and constantly subbing, or trying to get money earlier by having people pay for the next month and get a game early from the next bundle by giving them money early.
there is no grantee that the game is in the bundle that unlocks tomorrow, it's just likely that it is and the promo was poorly worded and not supposed to be on a sub's page, but giving the apparent drop off in subs between the first and second bundle it wouldn't be surprising if they were trying new tactics to keep people.
I mean offering a valuable every so often for people who are current subs but not available to people who weren't would be a way to keep people subbing more constantly so they don't miss out on those.

was going to buy a few games off steam today but alien is in this months who knows what else is coming lol
well you can count on two things:
it will be a very good value compared to the combined retail prices of things.
And there will be games you dont want to play.
Such is the way of the gamble-bundle.

This is BS! :/

Fuck them. Never subbing to this bullshit again
No, Alien Isolation is part of the February bundle - you'll have to pay the month of Feb now if you want access to it now.
