Wow IGN, you really suck. I used to love Humble Bundle back when they mostly had indies, and I remember when they first launched Humble Monthly, and I subbed for years. In fact,I frequently paid 2x or more of their asking price, and I would increase Humble's share most of the time because they found such a cool mix of games.

All of that stopped around the time IGN bought them. Game selection became less interesting, and I didn't feel like they had much value anymore, so I paid the bare minimum for bundles and only got Choice when it was a good deal. They turned a cool curator site into a bargain bundle site.

I now spend far more at Fanatical than Humble because they're actually open about being a bargain site, and I find their selection more interesting.

Please, stop killing interesting services.
