No Void Bastards just left me unsure wherever to keep subbing or not. Im interested in Blasphemous, Desert Child, X-Morph and unsure about the rest. Heard good thigns about Horizon Chase though. Already own Shadow Raider and Ancestors.

It's still confusing, yes. But I'm not sure if they call the first Choice the January bundle. I haven't bought it yet

You'll get the December Monthly since it was what you would be buying since last month
Well they are calling the first Choice as "December games", there is a separate December monthly also with different games. So what we paid for in the early unlock in November wasn't the choice bundle, you have to unlock it.

What I'm confused by, they say the payment will renew 31 of January, does that mean they will do a choice every other month?

It is super confusing, but that is because they messed up the wording. For instance, I have "paused" because I don't want the December Choice, and what is written is that I am skipping the "January 2020" bundle. In your case, are you sure you have not bought the December Choice for which the automatic billing date is on the last Friday of December?

Anyone wanna trade? I want a key for Sword Legacy Omen, and can trade one of my remaining keys from the current Choice for it ^^;

Also some simple maths; I subbed for an annual sub on Nov. 2018, and so far each game (more than 40) I claimed for myself from the bundles of the past year came to $3 per game on average :drinking-blob:

What does the Shadow of the Tomb Raider redeem as? Just the base game from before or the Definitive Edition that's on steam now?

Interested in trading a Yakuza Kiwami key (don't think I used it) for any of the choices excluding Vinland, Shadow Raider and Ancestors.

My $3 coupon will expire if I don't get the December Choice.
The good news is that the coupon for pausing the December Choice is $2 so it kind of cancels out.

Well to unlock current games one has to pay now, so yes I've bought the December choice. If there is a choice in January I'm guessing I have to pay to unlock it also. But yeah it's kind of confusing.o_O

I received the EA Basic subscription today. There are many games, including Unravel!

Basically, you bought the January 2020 Monthly bundle, which contains 10 early unlocks. It is the same as before, just the wording changed from January Monthly to December Choice, which makes it confusing during the transition.

Ah yes makes sense, since all games are early unlocks now. But funny how it says subscription runs until 31 of January but I wont get the January games.XD

With HIDEREPLYTHANKS? Will that generate 36 notifications? Or is there another quieter way?
Yes, and yes, unless you disable getting notifications for reactions received. Don't think there's a quieter way.
Uncheck "Reacts to your message" in the notifications section.
well there's also "hide until replied" ... it'll only show the hidden stuff to people who replied in this thread at least once (it's retroactive) ... and you won't get any notifications

With Void Bastards out I'm not gonna bother with this bundle. That was tipping the balance to OK BUNDLE. I already have Blasphemous and X-Morph, and the rest is stuff I'll never really play anyway.

Disappointed they took out void bastards but luckily I wanted Blasphemous so its worth it. Overall pretty meh when you compare the month to months past.

I'm probably gonna take the Humble Choice. SotTR, Blasphemous and Chase are on my wistlist, and some other games look good as well. For merely €11, that's enough for me.

I expected more games to choose from tho.

I dont understand, can you pause AFTER the reveal and not pay for the bundle? Can I pause now and not take any of the January bundle?

There's no reveal anymore, so yeah, as long as you don't pick any game you should be able to pause.

Will humble still generate redeemable steam keys as far back as 2017? I've got a bunch of games I didn't redeem.

Yup. Some games might be problematic (IIRC Dungeon Defenders from 2012's HIB7 is a known one) and might give duplicates but these are pretty rare and support should be able to help in those cases.

I had an issue with one game once: keys were out of stock.

Also, Desura / Telltale keys are impossible to redeem.
