    Has anyone thought about this? Humble Bundle plans to offer a monthly option for $12 a month that will give you all of the bundles.

    I personally haven't bought anything from Humble in a long time because I found Bundle Stars but I have to admit that this monthly option is intriguing.

    it does sound appealing.

    maybe I will subscribe for this month.

    Transistor is on my wishlist.

    I am not sure how I feel about it just yet. I mean I get killer deals from Bundle Stars (and if you subscribe to their email list there are a ton more offers), we are talking 90+% off games I actually want at times, seems like a hard pill to swallow 12 bucks a month when I could buy 3-4 bundles on average from Bundle Stars for that same price.

    Got the e-mail as well. Interesting offer, though not for me.
    I have previously bought a few bundles, and it cost me about the same amount of money. Not sure why I should subscribe.
    Well OK, they plan to throw in a bit more fancier games into the mix, don't it still doesn't change the point.
    Biggest problem for me with these bundles is that I rarely (actually never) play all of the games included, usually just some one game (for which you had to pay max sum in order for that game to be included). After a while I bailed on the whole thing. In fact I sort of re-evaluated my whole video game buying thing.
