1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

A week ago I asked for my account to be deleted. I was getting tired of Humble Choice, I couldn't find anything for good deals on their market and I was awfully tired of IGN shoving their shit down everyone's throats since they own Humble Bundle.

Plus a lot of the content they pick, are caught between garbage nobody asked for, content people would want are in upper tiers on purpose or content that made no sense to have been bundled with anyways.

They have been handling Humble Choice awfully for a while now, because they pick a lot of games that were only rated 'Mostly Positive' or just 'Positive' that nobody ever heard of nor care about.

It's always funny over in the HB subreddit how people shit on those not liking the bundles but are always "happy" to get the games or so. Yeah because you're a digital game hoarder, of course you'd take it anyways.

I had mine on auto-renew for five or so years but was mostly busy living with life and hobbies outside. Now there's 800 games in my library and I'll probably only play 100 of them.

When it comes to good deals, I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Several of the recent Choice bundles had a few games I was interested in for a price that was below their historic low. They also had some really great e-book bundles recently where you basically got all the books from several well-known sci-fi authors for about 20€. So Humble deciding to enshittify completely does sting for me.
