I think the only games I have even heard of on that list are Mafia and Iron Harvest, and I already have Mafia. Not worth it for just Iron Harvest. So probably pause.
I might pause, but they should give me 2 or 4 dollars off. If they do, I will buy it for Mafia and Iron Harvest. 8 dollars is how much Iron Harvest would cost on Epic.

If you paused last month you will absolutely get the $4 off when you try to pause this month, guaranteed. If not, not.
Space adventure/combat/exploring thing.
Good bundle month, and a friend is gonna trade me for my spare Iron Harvest key, win-win!
Perhaps Terminator next month!

Humble gods heard you. Least negative response to a month I’ve seen for a while!
In the immortal words of Journey:
Looks like I’ll unpause so I can complete my unplayed Mafia Definitive trilogy. Between the Stars and Midnight Protocol look interesting too.
I was amused when I realized today that it had not occurred to me to hold off on purchasing winter sale games before this month’s games were revealed. I had pretty much assumed the bundle would not have anything that I was going to buy.
edit:
“Between the Stars is already in your Steam library (Purchased Nov 19, 2021)”
This game was just recently included in the Choose Wisely Bundle from November. What.
Before I buy anything these days, I check the Enhanced Steam page for the game to see if it was included in a bundle that I might have bought and forgotten about. Not an unheard of occurrence.

Midnight Protocol seems to have some similarities to Netrunner, so count me interested!
Hey folks, a question since I’ve never done this: if I try to get the $4 “please don’t pause” bribe* this time around by “pausing” as opposed to you know, really pausing, can I go ahead and buy the bundle right then, or do I have to wait till I’m auto-charged?
*because after all I already own two games in the bundle

After they offer you the 4$(and you don’t pause), you can go right ahead and subscribe for the month (and get your games). You’ll should see the rebate on the bill just before you pay.
Thanks for the confirmation. I figured as much, I mean, a sale is still a sale, right? Especially since I paused the last three months.
EDIT: OK, done. The only difference from normal (at least on the mobile website) is that it doesn’t seem to let you pick the “gift link” option and goes straight to the Steam keys. Oh well. Not a bad deal this month at all, since I probably will play at least a few of these some vs. a lot of recent months, which seem to consist mostly of bullet hell 2D platformers, games with cutesy/anime art, point and click adventures, and multiplayer-only games.
I fired that up and it’s pretty nifty. I think someone on The Verge remarked that it’s like someone expanded the hacking minigame in Deus Ex:HR, made it turn-based and built a game around it.

Eh, it turns out Midnight Protocol is probably not for me. It’s too reminiscent of Nite Team 4, which is vastly superior. Considering how abstract everything is in Midnight Protocol, I think it would be better served with optional mouse controls.
Thanks for letting me know about that one, I’d never heard of it. Kind of amazing how many games just don’t get noticed.
