Humble Bundle is OK or not OK to talk about?

[NTU]

Some sites are OK to talk about, but is Humble Bundle OK?

[ReBoot]

It's not censored->ok

[secuda]

Yes it is a legit site.

[Kargor]

Also, they are a legitimate game shop.

[Halo]

Best to stick to talking about old pre-2017 Humble Bundle, back when they did games bundles that you had to pretty much buy each time.

The legendary, mythic Humble Bundle.

Post 2017 they are just some crappy e-book bundle site that makes Groupees look like a AAA bundle site.

So if you want to talk about that one best not to.

Gray market sites are not ok to talk about, but they're filter out in the forum because they're cause of some problems related to people using stolen credit cards, charging fees for fruad protection from scammer that give fake keys, or using stolen keys, and they do not work with publishers, nor developers selling their game keys. You can learn more by doing research.

Legitimate sites such as humble bundle, greenmangaming, etc are safe, and do not charge fees for protection, nor they do they provide fake or stolen keys, as they work directly with publishers and developers. You can use a site like isthereanydeal.com which will list all the legitimate sites that do work with publishers, and developers.

I don't think they can legitimately claim that (and in fact I don't think they do); they merely try to avoid listing bad shops. There is no central registration for legitimate shops.

True, but they have a good record by far for what they list are legitimate, and so far haven't fail to provide good deals to legitimate sites.

Of course it's hard to come by new shops that are legitimate these days as well, rather if they're honest with us about it how they get the keys in the first place.

Places like cdkeys are between, gray and legitimate, but because they don't always, or don't work with publishers, or developers.

I will point out is the service that own by same person called OtakuBundle and GoGoBundle, which was doing good, until sudden person went radio silence, being uncooperative with the developers, and continuing to sell, and list new deals, for months, until sudden person more, or less ran away, and ended his service of OtakuBundle and GoGoBundle, of course isthereanydeal unlisted them hearing about it, as they didn't want to support a conartist.

Off-topic question.

The old Humble Bundle did a lot to the indie scene. Then HB was purchased by IGN and is just another key reseller site.

Think the last humble I got was like Spyro trilogy + crash trilogy + some random other game all for $10

They have now a bundle where you can pay 5 a month, and you get nothing.
Or do i misunderstand the lite bundle wrong?

[Klogg]

Humble Bundle is okay.
It's not where I buy discounted games, wink wink, but okay.

I explain. They added new system for new people, or people returning to restart their cancel membership.


People that didn't cancel their services, are now called Classic they pay the same price as they were $12 USD, and it's the premium tier.

People that new, or restarting their members services are offer three tiers, exactly what you see is what you get. Lowest tier you don't get the monthly bundle, but you get access to the DRM free games on humble trove, and small discount on the humble bundle store, for mid tier you get to pick few games for the month, and access to DRM free games on humble trove, as well discount for store, and premium tire which is $20, you get it all, and higher discount on store.

Both classic and tier can do pause a month, so they don't pay for the month, and skip the bundle, as well won't get the benefits.

The lite bundle is a bad choice i would say.

The pausing can be redone every month, by what i get. Just has to be done to prevent paying each month again.

Forgot to mention, if you have classic plan, if you cancel your plan, you lose that plan forever, so if bundle doesn't interest you, just remember to do the pause for the month, so you don't get charged. Anyone that has on going plan before December, and haven't cancel their plan, will be converted to Classic automatically, everything basically the same, is that we're getting the best deal, as long we keep the classic plan.
