as much as i would have loved to have those games, i can't spend 12$ monthly on something sight unseen...

As mentioned, you have no idea what titles you get. The worst thing is that almost every title that was part of this month's bundle has been in other bundles; for cheaper overall.

The order bonus is only for new subscribers.

The worst thing about this nonsense is how unhumble it is. Disgraceful. Only 5%! goes to charity. Their store donates 10% and their normal bundles used to default at 20%. Now they changed it and increased their tip by default for normal bundles so that it's also higher than the charity default split.

Then to add insult to injury its "charity" for this monthly junk is hosted and managed by paypal.

In short, Humble lost my business entirely from this fiasco. I'll make separate donations now. Nothing like making millions upon millions and forgetting why you started your business in the first place.

I think rayden54 is correct, the order bonus game is for new subscribers. Once you are subscribed, you get charged automatically every month and you don't get another copy of the bonus game. There's a FAQ page on their site if you want more info.

A sucker born every day.

Glad I didn't sign up; already had two of the games they listed. I highly recommend Valkyria chronicles for anyone who hasn't played it.

If they want it to be successful they should reward people who have been subbed for more than a month. Putting a reward that was in the last months pack for signing up is pretty smart to stop people from cancelling and resubbing just for rewards.
So to recap give bonuses to those who let their sub renew every month with a cookie. I know in the business world it is never run this way always scrounging for new customers and just pooping on the loyal ones so oh well.
