Humble Choice isn't unknown, or at least hasn't been for a long time. I'm subscribed but they also give the option to skip as many months as you want, which I unfortunately take advantage of like 75% of the time.
Well, maybe I am not up to date on this. Are you saying you can see in advance what games will be in a subscription bundle and also that you can skip as many bundles as you want?
Yes, that's exactly it. They changed the format a while ago. You get to see the entire bundle before you buy it, and can skip months as long as you want. I buy maybe 2 or 3 bundles a year and skip all the rest.
Alright, thank you for the update. Not knowing what I am paying for was always my biggest point of critique, so I might look into Humble once again.
If you're not making extensive use of your Humble Choice discount in the store, you might want to consider canceling each month that you don't like the games instead. I cancel every month regardless, then throughout the month I get emails offering increasing discounts on the current month's bundle, until I eventually get an offer for one month for £4.50 a couple of days before the current bundle ends. It's resulted in me getting twice as many games for less than half the normal monthly price.
Very interesting, I will consider doing the same.
