I mean, the Year One Pass is on sale right now, for the holiday sale.
Does that have the important DLC in it that people would want?

I agree that its a little annoying that Humble has started to include just the "base" edition of games, forcing you to get the DLC. I assume this makes it more palatable for publishers, but it makes the bundle less interesting.

I don't mind it on occasion, it's just happening every month at this point. I partook when they did it for BL3, and was over it by the Phoenix Point promotion.

Still nothing's as bad as the "Control Deluxe Edition" fiasco where they created a whole new version of the game just to screw over bundle buyers that was basically impossible to upgrade. That might even be worse than Epic's Death Stranding "Director's Cut" fiasco, and its pretty hard to top Epic.

Banner Saga 3 did something similar. I ended up banned on their forums for pointing it out. They were essentially charging more if you owned the first two games in an attempt to extract money from already invested parties.

the thing for me is that the next subscription month on HB is at the end of each month and i can't redeem it until that monthly subscription passes. So for me, if i were to get Eternal through HB free, i'll have to wait for the end of January and then wait the next sale for when the DLC go on sale after redeeming the code.

I might not be understanding you correctly, but you don't have to wait. The end of the month is when the auto payment kicks in if you don't pause. I am pretty sure you can download right now and it will process your monthly cost when you do so.

Doesn't work like that, i try to claim early it says i need to subscribe for the month, even though i am subscribed, this is why i mentioned i can't claim until late in the month.

I just paid for the month and started installing Doom Eternal, so it does work like that. At least in the US and with the Classic Monthly plan.

The worst part of this is that there is not a true Deluxe Edition upgrade so people who buy the Choice bundle will have to re-buy the game if they decide they want the Deluxe Edition Content DLC (which is NOT included in the Year 1 Pass, BTW). Humble did the same thing when they offered the Standard Edition of Borderlands 3 instead of the Super Deluxe Edition and when they butchered Control, and I am really getting sick of it.

Part of this is the developer's fault too for not having an upgrade package for any other method, but I agree they're cheaping out and screwing people in Humble Bundle. I have skipped I don't know how many months if there just isn't something really catching for me in there, and I don't just mean AAA because Descenders was a month I took.

I skipped Squad and Slay the Spire for twelve dollars one month and have never really recovered. I never skip now.
