Coupons, anyone?

View Results
[Buy] I feel I'm the Lone Fungus who doesn't own much of these.
[Have] IMO, not owning these would be straight up Blasphemous.
[Expensive] $15 for two unbundled games? I don't want to end the week with a Bloodstained wallet.
[Skip] No way, that's more than hiring someone to write me a Haiku! And I don't even need a personalized Haiku...

$20.36 CAD

Lost Ruins is on the wishlist and Lone Fungus looks interesting. Not sure if it is worth picking up for just those two alone so a maybe for me.

Kinda nice if you have none. Just noticed that Blasphemous got the region price hike from R$50 to R$133, wow.

own all but Lost Ruins, so def not worth for me. pretty great bundle if you only own 1-2, but hard to justify otherwise. i have enjoyed most of the games from the bundle, though i will say blasphemous was not my style and rain world is not a metroidvania

Regular buyers probably already own between 3 and 5 games out of the 7 games. If it is 3, then this might work for you. If it is 4 or 5, it is a more difficult decision as you already own more than half of the bundle, including the headliner (Hollow Knight).

yes i'm a regular buyer and i own well 5 games. only Lone Fungus and Lost Ruins i don't own. If i get the bundle i would like to sell the games i own on Group Buys and i guess its not easy, so i don't buy

Listen I don't care what anyone says, I won't accept slander of this bundle. This is some pretty INSANE value for what you're getting for only 15 dollars.
Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Bloodstained? Lost Ruins is apparently -remarkably- good, and haiku the robot has hidden gem written all over it. This bundle is TIDY

The quality of the included games is exceptional and with an average of 2€ / title it's a fantastic deal for the asking price. I mean how low should Humble go to satisfy buyers?
I understand most of the people are only interested in a couple of the included titles, but that doesn't mean this is a bad and overpriced bundle.

Free seems to be a reasonable price many will be ok with. Companies shouldn't make money after all.

Yes, they shouldn't. And those free games better be high-quality titles, otherwise it'll feel insulting.

Awesome games, slightly overpriced. $12 would have been a fantastic price.
Still, I wouldn't buy it, as I already own over half of these awesome games!

Good Bundle if you don't own any of the games.
Sadly most of them are rebundles, so I cannot justify the price for the two new games.

A lot of bundle splits available in the groupbuys group on steam if someone is interested into just some of the games.

Buy! Already had Blasphemous and Haiku, the Robot, but still worth it for me. Great bundle.

Tough decision. I own two, which were excellent, and I'm interested in Bloodstained and Rain World. Average sale on both of those titles make this bundle decent enough just for those, without the added bonus of having some games for friends and giveaways.

Great bundle! A bit steep at $34.98! I would love to get it but not going to pay that much for 9 games. Well 8 games and 1 DLC! Still, way to much.

I know. This is more of a joke and statement. The fact that Humble actually counts those 2 coupons as part of the bundle. Meaning if you break down the price of the bundle per item. You are actually paying around $1.66 per coupon. It would not be an issue if Humble would change the wording to reflect the 7 games your getting and then treat the coupons as an added bonus. It's just that 9 sounds like a better deal then 7.

It's manipulative sales tactics.

I mean it is still a great price for some really nice games.

The Zapling Bygone coupon is worth $8, at $1.66 it's a steal.
And of course you need pay for the other half yourself, but that's basically a privilege you are entitled to as the coupon owner :)

So the portion of the bundle that counts for the coupon is $1.66 and takes 50% off the game. The game is $15.99, which is now $7.99. Add that $1.66 back and you have spent $9.95 for Zapling Bygone! Saving a total of $6.34. Which is roughly 39% of the $15.99 price tag. I also don't believe you can combine it with any other discount (don't quote me on that).

So your 50% coupon is actually a 39% coupon. Which if you really want that game. I guess is still a good deal. Since no one has it currently on sale. At least for now, Summer Sale is fast approaching. With this coupon being 50%. There is a good chance that it will be 50% off on steam for summer. Maybe, again all speculation.

What does this all mean. Nothing really! I just don't like these kinds of sales tactics.

Oh and a side note. That 20% coupon only saves you $2.99. If you take in account the $1.66 cost of the coupon. That means your saving about $1.33 from the DLC.

Still a good bundle if you don't have most of the titles. :D

It's pretty easy to split them if you don't mind taking the time to do it. I was missing 3 as well and sold off the rest in the bundle split group.

Can you make a column for Steam Deck compatibility in future bundle pages? (just a suggestion)

Comment has been collapsed.

It's a popular request, yet not one that can be implemented easily because it would require integration with ProtonDB. If this info was present in the Steam API, things would be much easier, but as it is the case now, such a change requires some extensive time and effort, therefore I don't see it being done in the near future.

I have 59 games with metroidvania tag in my library (though I'm certain about 10 are actually not). I played only 7 of them so far. Finished none. I think I have enough metroidvanias to play for years and get bored of the genre twice over.
Less repeats and more new stuff would be nice. Admittedly, price is fair as it is, and if I had none of these games, I'd most likely bite.

I want the 3 games I'm missing here but I don't want to pay $5 for each. On the other hand, the other games are all good and I could trade them or give them away. Probably gonna be a skip but I'm not certain yet

How is it calculated?

Comment has been collapsed.

When going to the Adjust Donation -> Custom Amount, the Humble Slider will have a minimum value. This is based off $15. Looks like for $25, the minimum is $3.75, for $35, the minimum is $5.25. Doing the calcs for each scenario, (min / payment) , the minimum percentage Humble takes is 15%.

The default Humble sets is 30% per payment. With the extra to charity option, they take roughly 27.5% (give or take 0.1% depending on level). Good info to know!
