$12/mo for access to an avalanche of mediocre indie games?

lol,no

Exactly my concern. While those games may be fabulous none of them appeal to me. I can't figure out why someone would do this long term its like those old CD,tape,record clubs.

[Craig234]

The one of interest I didn't have this time is Rust.

 

[Elixer]

I think the biggest problem here is, lots of these games are also recycled from other deals, so, if you already have lots of these games, it won't be worth it.

If these are only new games, that is a different story, but, going by what has been posted, most of these are old games.

 

[cbrunny]

What were you expecting? Just Cause 3, Fallout 4, and Dragon Quest in a $12 bundle?

[sweenish]

Almost would have been worth it for me for Talos alone. I have Grim Fandango already, and am not too interested in the other titles.

I guess this scratches an itch, and would be great for someone just getting into PC gaming, but these just don't do it for me.

 

[Craig234]

Good package but already own Talos and Spelunky at least. The good news, I bought Grim Fandango Dec 24 so I can still get a refund.

 

[Craig234]

Mushroom 11 is $9.99 on sale.

 

[Craig234]

It says if you pay now for Feb, you get Alien: Isolation immediately. So, that means that's the main title next month? I should cancel since I own it.

 

[Scooby Doo]

Talos is on steam for $9.99

 

[cbrunny]

As stated, prices I've indicated are in CDN.

I wonder. What happens if you sign up and then cancel every month when they do these "sign up now and receive" promotions? Would you get one for each month or is this a one time thing based on CC information?

EDIT: For clarification. If you sign up now and get Alien Isolation and then receive the FEB bundle, cancel and sign up again. Do you receive the next sign up promotion for that month?

I don't think it's an extra item, it's just saying 'pay now can get the item now instead of next month'.

 

[Subyman]

I think this is kind of a strange concept. I can see why they want to generate a consistent revenue stream, but having to tailor their bundles to a wide variety of gamer's interests seems to limit the appeal to individuals. Each bundle likely only has 1 or 2 titles that are of interest. At least their other bundles have a theme to them.

[Feneant2]

How does this work? I thought it was a 12.99$ monthly US sub... why do you say its 56$? Or are you listing what they cost if you'd buy them separate.

Yep. Also I'm from Canada so all prices that I've noted are CDN $$. It's still $12 USD for me though.

[Ferzerp]

Too bad I've had Wasteland 2 for ages

 

[sweenish]

June's release is pretty decent, at least for me.

Got some friends to also buy into it for Rocket League.

The List:
Rocket League (the giveaway, and my reason for buying June's bundle)
The Forest (I've been intrigued, now I can try it out)
Planetary Annihilation: TITANS (same)
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (Been curious, will try out now that my friends also have it)
Dungeon of the Endless Crystal Edition (I get to take it off my wishlist now)
Steredenn
Wasted - A Post Apocalyptic Pub Crawler
Cat Girl Without Salad (the Humble original)

 

[JujuFish]

June was pretty weak, IMO. I'd rather have not paid.

 

[sweenish]

Different strokes. Like I said, worked out nicely for me.
