Pretty normal for Humble promos this days, just usually was for 6 months deals, not full year.
Comment has been collapsed.
But for 6 months deals, you only pay 1 month at a time when you sign up, like those US$9 for 6 months deal. I wonder what IGN means when they say "this offer will be void if your plan is canceled or paused" Does that mean that if I paused on the second month, I paid CAD$139 for just 1 month?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, you have to pay full price? With that note I was sure it works same as 6 months deal.
I hope they just fucked up the disclaimer and pasted the wrong info then...
Comment has been collapsed.
Never heard of year offers being canceled on pause...
If they really to this from now on they can fuck off.
Comment has been collapsed.
How are they going to enforce the Pause ban? Will the Pause option be disabled or what?
Comment has been collapsed.
I am guessing just like it works for 6 months deals - you "subscribe" to the deal by buying first month for promo-price, then each month you get discount unless you pause, then no more discounts.

Where do you see this. Its not in my email. I don't see it on the site. If I try and buy it with the code given its does not mention this.
Mine is good to Feb 2026 if do no skips. I also have unused gift link from Dec to add. So I'm good to Feb 2027. It will be longer since these are skippable. I was wondering if I should buy another and just hang onto it. But not if its going to change my type somehow. But I'm not seeing this limit anywhere,.

I think there is two different emails, one for current subscribers that is in screenshots and one for cancelled that have this text.
Comment has been collapsed.
OH. That's even worst. I may have to email them and clarify what happens if I buy it and hang onto it for later. I would only consider it if its another 12 month extension thats pausable. I seem to be pausing about 1 in 3.

I think op just forgot to include the small print, which comes right after: "-The humble Team".
I'm currently subbed (paused), and I got this text too.

"Coupon is redeemable for a Humble Choice Premium plan at €99 or $139 CAD a year before any applicable taxes and fees. "
So with coupon it's 124€ after taxes, normal price 109€ with taxes already included.
Also I don't think premium has existed for many years now?
Comment has been collapsed.
It'll rise from 10 to 13€ too. So relatively the price increase is bigger for us Europeans.
I expected that to happen for quite some time, after all the price lasted since they switched to the current mode. And we had quite the inflation meanwhile.
MapGenie+ is a nice bonus.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, checking exchanges rates in CAD vs USD, it seems it has been pretty favorable for us, although now it's kind of the other way, but if you were already using IGN Plus, then you can save from this arrangement.
Comment has been collapsed.
does ign plus still give free steam keys from time to time?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't have an email yet as US. May be CA and EU only
I also tried to jump the shark a bit and see if I can get a yearly discount with the MAY2025 coupon code but it doesn't even seem to be live yet for me? It says discount applied with price change from $129 for one year... to $129 for one year.
Comment has been collapsed.
Based on the coupon description Ekaros shared, maybe this is a Canada and Europe thing only. I guess we'll see.
Comment has been collapsed.
I really don't care. If it will increase the quality of games, I might buy it more often either way. If it stays the same with just an increased pricetag, lmao.
Comment has been collapsed.
if the enshitification theory is true, it will stay the same or worse
Comment has been collapsed.
it sounds more like the price increase is an excuse to add ign+ which no one asked for
Comment has been collapsed.
It won't increase anything but the price. They're course correcting because the dollar is in the shitter right now, that's all.
They're not asking for more money so that they can get you better games.
That certainly explains the quality of this month's bundle though. They are hoping it will make the pill easier to swallow.
They're wrong.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's 100% going to stay exactly the same. What we're paying extra for here is the IGN+, MapGenie+, etc. stuff that they added into the subscription. It might be worthless for us, but it's "value" to them.
Comment has been collapsed.
If it will increase the quality of games
That's what people said last time when they switched to Humble Choice and gave us less games. The quality did not go up then either. This is just about increasing the margins.
Comment has been collapsed.
Shittier bundles and price increase... what a strategy. This last month was ok because they received thousand of emails complaining.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was ok because they needed people not to cancel at the end of the month after they announced that they are shafting everyone who doesn't live in the US.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see adding IGN as a benefit. That should lower the price not make it go up.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess this is why coupon prices suddenly went up last month.

In return we'll get 3 origin, 2 epic and 1 uplay keys every month

They only change the prices when it's good for them. Look at Steam's convertion ratio for Poland -> last time they changed it during covid when USD was strong and PLN was weak -> but they refuse to revalue the exchange ration now :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh no, the one thing I buy that hasn't had a price increase since at least January 2017. USD$12 then, still USD$12 now. Regional pricing made it CAD$15.
$12 in 2017 would be $15.66 today. $15.66USD would be $21.70CAD. New price will be less than the rate of inflation.
I'm guessing USA will get a price increase. Probably around $14. Could be $15.
I don't think there is anything else in my life where the price has not increased since 2017. Most things increase every year, sometimes more than once.
I'm going to keep buying it. It's still a good deal. Bought one in October 2017. Been buying every one since January 2018.
p.s.
I asked a friend what hasn't increased in price since 2017. He had one thing: Costco $1.50 hot dog and soda combo meal
p.p.s
Humble Monthly started November 2015. Price was $12. That's almost 10 years. Inflation calculator says it would be $16.19 today.
*Humble Choice tiers had a higher price (classic subscribers had the original price still at $12. Regional pricing caused price changes outside USA.

We get > more of your money.
You get > IGN+ no one asked for, Non- Steam keys, mapgenie+ or whatever the fucc that is.
What I hate most is why do we have to bail out IGN with our "Games for a good cause" money? So that we can read their groundbreaking takes on how Doom 2016 feels like "Too much doom"? or how concord is a 7, veilguard is a 9, but somehow invincible season 3 is a 4?
Humble's new management can join IGN to succ my ass.
Comment has been collapsed.
They gave Invincible season 3 a 4? Is that a joke?
Edit: Found the reviews, season 3 got a 7. Season 3 finale E08 got a 4.
Comment has been collapsed.
I strongly suggest reading the whole review of episode 8. It shows the rot that is game media.
Comment has been collapsed.
I read the whole season review and I don't agree with what reviewer said. And that is okay. I am going to watch E08 again tonight and read why he gave the finale a 4. I already forget some of the plot in E08 but I don't remember it being bad.
Comment has been collapsed.
It wasn't bad I swear. Ask the people around you or online and you'd get your feedback. That was just some schmuck jotting down his feelings on corporate payroll. And also someone who's paychecks we will be supporting in the coming month onwards.
Edit: Same guy gave Snow White a 7 xD
I swear to god its a cult.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I don't remember it being bad. It might have some similarity with season 1 finale but it is a 7 or 8 at least. Still going to rewatch it to see why the reviewer gave it a 4, that is a score worse than the new Captain America movie.
I haven't watched Snow White, I am afraid of the 7 dwarfs giving me nightmares, lol. But I trust Letterboxd's review of 2/5 more than IMDB's 1.6/10. 7 does seem to be quite high

IGN is no big think in Europe. I don't use it often. But the map genie is really good if you like RPG's and similar games. I booked this sometimes before.
The IGN+ games have mostly a to low stock and you come to late. The other parts of the site are not more interessting then other sites, wouldn't pay for.
Comment has been collapsed.
They could have imtroduced a higher price tier with IGN+ and mapgenie+ for people that want them.
But ofc they won't. The "OH-Ma-Recession" excuse is the same as the "Oh-Ma-Covid" excuse. I bet m,y life savings we will never see that price drop to back down in this lifetime.
Comment has been collapsed.
Mapgenie is at least a nice site, and the plus has some bonuses...that you may want or interested in (Digital maps for games, interactive, marking important points, and you can save, organize, and add your own stuff to it I think). It's a genuinely nice site, but not super useful for many, and a "wanted" feature for even fewer people.
Comment has been collapsed.
So, $3 extra for IGN Plus, something I have no interest in and will never use. The value of the games we get gets worse (Origin keys anyone?) and they choose now to announce a price increase, and slap on IGN Plus as a justification? Bold strategy.
Also, I'm still waiting for 31 keys they stole from my purchases. Lovely. 🙃

I'm still on classic plan from 2016 or earlier (since the first Monthly (former name).
Someone knows if this changes something, if I switch to new yearly discount now?
Before some years, only the classic users could get all monthly games and new subscriptions only 8 from 12 or similar.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think classic just treats you like a US customer, so assuming things stay the way they are for US pricing, maybe its worth sticking to it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I always had the US price, thats right, what was not an advantage for me, like i see now. But I also got this mail, with EURO prices in it now.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think one of the yearly subs switched from the classic sub at some point, unless you somehow avoided that maybe by paying month to month or something. It was unavoidable for me at least. I don't think classic exists anymore and it also makes no difference whether someone has it or not, they did away with that program..
Comment has been collapsed.
the difference is you pay $12 instead of €10
Its barely any difference, but now it could be that the price doesn't increase for classic. But who knows
Comment has been collapsed.
So I guess the only way to keep staying on classic was to pay month by month without ever canceling, only skipping? I'm assuming I had switched when I took the $89 deal for a year since being from the us it was anyways going to be $12 for me. Didn't even know choice was €10 in EU. That was a pretty good deal, $24 cheaper per year vs the US.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah you can skip as much as you want but I just never actually cancelled. $12 and €10 is basically the same thing.
I also took a deal for a year but that did not require me to change plan, it just kinda gave you 12 "credits" for Humble Choices. This offer you do have to actually change to annual.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah I have the same. It feels like the standard monthly price of $12 won't change for us, but the email isn't really clear about that.
I do feel like if you change plan to annual you will get the increased price afterwards. There was a coupon for a year of Choice like two years ago that I could use, but that didn't require you to click "change plan".
Comment has been collapsed.
So will this price increase will guarantee everyone who buy with their keys ? I guess not, i'm still having unavailable keys that already have a set expiration date. FUCK YOU IGN
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course they'll keep overselling as usual or worse.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah i didn't take 1 year with pause, so even less without pause.
Also i find it more fun to wonder "do i take this for 10€ - now 13 - or the fanatical platinum for 10€ or just 1 game i really want for 10€ ?
In the end, it's a better way to maintain the quality you hope for in your library.
Comment has been collapsed.
Eh, if the bundle is good I'll fork over the 13 €. Since it is now a 'check games first, then decide to buy' kind of deal I don't see the problem. Including EA keys is more of an issue for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Changed the plan from classic to monthly on january this year since it was the only way to get 6 months discount. It has switched my currency from $ to €. If classic plan price won't get the price increase now, it may suggest they have been planning to increase prices in Europe for some time and they deliberately didn't offer discounts on classic plan before, in order to more people switch to €.
Comment has been collapsed.
I still have my unredeemed €93 annual gift, hopefully they won't "run out of keys" on this one.
Anyone calculated when the current 6-months-for-whatever (€6.49?) deal ends?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ironic that € is stronger than US $ yet Europe is the one that has the price increased.
Guess tariffs are going to hit hard on digital intangible goods? /s
If Humble Bundle doesn't want European customers they only have to ask nicely, no need for try to squeeze our money before they kick us out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe they try to match valve's shitty "recommended regional pricing" that was set in October 2022 when USD was at the top.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry if I missed it but does this change previous 1 year plan (discount) where we can pause? (meaning no longer we can pause)
Just I think I'm skipping this months choice... And for future potential skips don't want to risk it...
Comment has been collapsed.
In theory no, it doesn't affect.
This is like the other "month" deals they currently have, that instead of giving you or redeeming the month automatically, they give you a discount for the month that it just doesn't work anymore if you pause or cancel.
Becuase you don't make any kind of purchase every month, in theory, they can't apply this new way of deal.
But we can only wait and see how they manage it.
Comment has been collapsed.
EDIT:
So far only confirmed for Canada ($14.99 CAD to $17.99 CAD) and Europe (10€ to 13€), potentially to readjust for exchange rates since the time they changed to regional pricing.
