At first, this looks pretty underwhelming, especially since the only three games I’ve even heard of are the ones I already have, but all the others look pretty interesting upon further inspection. I’m in, though I’m kind of annoyed we’re already back to “mystery games”. I thought moving to Choice was supposed to get away from that.
This is A re-post. By design.
Also not a Humble bundle.
But a Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality!
No steam keys because it’s itch.io. but there are 1,427 “items” for $5 bucks???!
Should be some kind of record.

And, sure enough, Humble is taking a crack at it with their Humble Fight for Racial Justice Bundle. It’s a very interesting mix of games and books at a higher buy-in point of $30, with a far lower absolute number of games but also significantly less chaff to separate out from the good stuff. Proceeds go to benefit the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Race Forward, and The Bail Project.
I was wondering when Humble was going to get around to that. I guess they didn’t want to “compete” with the Itch Bundle, since splitting charitable attention is counter-productive.
Eclectic mixture, but some good stuff in there. However, the items that are of interest are pretty much entirely things I already own, so I think I’ll pass on that one.
Same. A good selection, but like most Humble Bundles that means I’ve already bought them ages ago.
Anyone know when the last day to pause is for this month?
Probably next Thursday 25th as they take the payment on 26th.
PSA-- today is the last day to pause the Humble Choice if you don’t want to be auto-charged for it. I began the pause procedure but they bribed me with 2 bucks and I figured the resulting price of $10 was all right for getting GRID 2019, Supraland and Barotrauma, and a Steam copy of Overload.
I have paused as they did not offer me a bribe.
Paused last week, can’t remember if they offered me a bribe. It wouldn’t have made a difference.
They offered me an extra pick. That didn’t cut it for.
When I went to pause it was fairly soon after the games were announced so maybe that’s why I got the bribe.

I just went to pause today and got $4 off my next Humble choice billing.
Wow, maybe I should have waited! :-)

Thanks for the PSA. This month is dead to me. But I got offered $4 bribe tho. Nope not gonna work.
4 bucks!! The squeaky wheel really does get the grease! Maybe I need to pause…
I wonder if that bribe increments the more people pause. e.g. if you pause when only 40 other people have, no bribe. if 5000 people have paused, it’s $2, etc etc
I paused and they haven’t offered a bribe. It’s a shame, too, since $8 would be a much easier sell for the two things out of this that I actually want (Overload and Men of War Assault Squad 2). As it is I think I’ll probably stay paused.

I’m pretty sure the bribes are randomized so they can’t be gamed.

Wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve only ever been offered one, turned it down, and have never gotten another despite creating the exact same circumstances a couple of times.
