You know? This might be the excuse I need to finally end my subscription. I've way too many games already.

That's about a 40% increase in the amount I have been paying for years without fail, partially at the threat of if I cancel, I lose my grandfathered pricing.
And frankly the quality of the bundles has been dropping for a while.
I guess I finally cancel then. What a silly way to lose business
Edit: and cancelled, happy there was a text box for me to tell them why I'm gone. 8 years of paying monthly apparently
I haven't bought a single bundle since IGN took over.
I must have missed the news when Ziff Davis, now I feel even more justified cancelling my subscription, just got the notice today
They run good deals on audio books and Pathfinder material every once in a while. Otherwise, yeah, been a while since I saw a game bundle that was worth the money.
I forgot this company existed when they got rid of 'pay what you want for the actually good games'
I never understood why someone would stay subscribed to it. Like just get it when there's something you want from it that month and then cancel.
Annual prices are slightly cheaper, but they've been gradually squeezing that too. You can of course pause the months you don't want, but it's a somewhat obtuse process.
The 20% discount on purchases is very nice, though the monthly offerings are extremely hit-or-miss. I’m not sure I’ll stay subscribed at this price, though. The value of the subscription is simply too unpredictable.
The 20% discount is completely theoretical. Very few games, if any, were discountable that low
I use it about once every two months. Most recently, Clair Obscur.
it was 6% off with max discount for everyone else though

The only relevant part. I hate when they bury news like this inside a couple of paragraphs of guff.
I cancelled my subscription as soon as I got the email. Apparently I've been subscribed since January 2017. It used to be worth it back then, but I probably should have canceled after they changed it to choice. I can't remember the last time I played a game from it
I haven't been excited for anything in a bundle for years. Their offerings have been garbage for ages.
Oh great, another reason for me to not subscribe. Humble bundle stopped being so humble like a decade ago
Are they still overselling their bundles so they're aren't enough keys to redeem if you purchased it? I see that practice as being fraudulent.
The bundles have been pretty lackluster for a while now. Will this increase their quality?
i doubt it, but let's see.
Did they not just do this for the month of June? Or perhaps it has been a staggered rollout and they first increased the prices in Canada.
Man, maybe I should just cancel, I've been on this since the first one, back when it was $12, and I've got a 1500+ line document full of games I have for friends to pick birthday presents, and I use the 20% discount a lot, but I don't think I'm getting the full subscription price for ff 14 out of this.
I never saw a reason to buy the choice subscription. I just get the bundles i am interested in, and save money.
Unless its quality goes up and it's the best bundle we've seen in years, we should all just cancel and show them that's not ok.
