I could dig in deeper here but in general, no, I don’t think IGN buying Humble ruined Humble or fundamentally changed them. I admit I have a huge backlog of over one hundred and eighty games I really want to play and a massive library of games now reaching two thousand titles, but I also don’t feel the pull to play most of Humble Choice’s titles for more than the hour or two I play for the video.īut ok, what about the concept that IGN buying Humble has ruined the company. I just don’t play most of the Humble Choice games to completion. The MSRP may be higher, yet I preferred getting one or two major AAA titles from Humble Monthly than the array of games that are worth more on Humble Choice. MSRP or value means very little as the specific games that are chosen means more. But what this chart means is Humble Choice is a more valuable bundle, but I think this also proves my point. Unsurprisingly, the value is actually very strong, though remember that people who don’t have the classic subscription are paying fifty percent more for the bundle. Still, let’s pop up the MSRPs and show the value. With more games revealed at once, there’s less incentive to have one big title and more incentive to push higher MSRP, or games people want but aren’t excited for. I actually called this out when Humble Choice was announced. Personally, I think Humble Choice is a little weaker. I don’t know, I personally think the second list there sounds pretty good, but genre tastes and what is already in your library will depend on the individual.īut then what about Humble Choice. Those games were released from February 2018 to April 2018. On the other side of the buyout there was a three-month stretch with Civilization VI, Dark Souls 3, and then a month with a triple pack including Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and Mafia 3. This isn’t intended to trick anyone, but rather to show that there are streaks of poor choices Pre-IGN. Meaning this is a year before IGN was even in the picture. The only problem is this is a list of the games that were given out from August 2016 through January 2017. So, sure, that might be a sign that the quality has slipped. These aren’t bad games, but as the big headliners, they aren’t that exciting even though I adore SOMA and Stardew Valley. Over a six month period, the early unlocks for the Humble Monthly were thus, first was Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Multiplayer Starter pack, SOMA, Grim Dawn, Stardew Valley, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, and the first Vermintide.
On the other hand, the games chosen have seen different picks, and while someone could make a case that some choices aren’t stellar, let’s just take a small window. But if you mostly care about the MSRP of games, you’ll see the value didn’t change too much. Whereas the month before Assassin’s Creed Origins was also a 60 dollar title, but a different value proposition.

Though if you want to know the issue with MSRP, a simple example is that Call of Duty Black Ops 4 was a 60 dollar title but also pretty dead on PC and definitely not worth that much. However, I don’t think MSRP is a valid indicator of quality, but it gives us a place to start. Instead, I’m just going to quickly show the MSRP for the Humble Monthly. I could make a long boring case about how game choices haven’t changed that much. I’ll put a link to the spreadsheet in the description as well. I’m going to use some data compiled by a Reddit user goldarmor92. That means to make this case, you really should be seeing the decline start somewhere around two or three years ago. The big thing this theory misses is IGN bought Humble in October 2017. Especially when people are talking about the recent decline in quality. It’s almost a mantra at this point, and I just don’t see it. I don’t just hear the bundles are worse, I hear Humble Bundle has gone downhill since IGN bought them. Let’s start with a big thing that keeps coming up. Even just trying to talk about two different weekly bundles would be quite challenging. The main reason is that the weekly bundles have a lot of different factors as well as allowing the buyer to allocate their purchase price to different sources. I’m going to focus this video mostly on Humble Monthly and Humble Choice.
