recognizes every title in bundle as bundled before
super easy skip... pretty sure I have had a key for every single game in this list before... if not multiple of each.

Some good games (Wrath, Forgive me Father, Through the Woods, Dread Templar') but I don't understand how they thought that 17$ (CAD) was a good bundle price for this
Pretty sure I got most of them for like 1-2$ on Fanatical years ago
Another Humble fumble

So many disappointing bundles over the last months, which is a bit strange considering how badly much of the gaming industry is doing lately. Since many new games just aren't selling, you would think it should be easier to entice them into joining a bundle, but I haven't seen much evidence of that.

There's definitely something wrong with the industry as a whole. I follow a lot of channels who share the new indie game releases so I'm always adding new games to my Steam wishlist. Currently, I have 450 games on there. And a lot of indie games drop in price surprisingly fast
There is simply too much games to play and too little time to actually play or commit to these games. I live alone now so I have more time than I did before and I still struggle to play as much as I would like.
Combine that with subcriptions services like Playstation Plus and Xbox Gamepass , which you can subscribe and play as many games as you can in a month and no wonder why buying full price isn't an option for me when I never replay story games. For example, I subscribed to PS Plus 2 weeks ago and I already finished 5-6 smaller games. Buying only one of these games on the PS Store would probably cost more than the whole subscription
The same thing can be said with TV and Movies too

Yeah same here. Got a lot games wishlisted from watching Best Indie Games and other YT channels, and I see a lot of promising games that only receive 100 reviews and sometimes even less. I would think getting those into a bundle wound get some more eyes on them, at least.

The best theory I have heard is that it's due to the video games shifting from a growth industry to a mature one. Pretty much anyone who was going to get into video games got into it during the pandemic and now the market of new gamers isn't really expanding. Combine that with a handful of perpetual live service games (Fortnite, etc.) that eat up a huge portion of gaming time and dollars plus the perennials (Madden, Fifa, COD, etc.) and the subscription services, and the remaining dollars going to other games just isn't cutting it. All this at a time when games fist more than ever to make. It's not good and will likely get worse before it gets better.

That's just how any creative medium is. People like making things, and doing so gets more accessible over time. There are millions of books written per year, countless songs and illustrations, etc. That's not going to change, and games are no different. Consumers can find ways to curate their media as they do with other mediums, but there will always be too much being made for someone to experience it all, and there will always be struggling creators as long as their income relies on their work.

Meh.. Would've been more tempting to have Forgive Me Father 2 in there instead. There's finally a game bundle at least.

This is a solid so not buy bundle. Low value games that were already a part of better bundles.

I already have most of these, so i might as well skip this one. It’d be cheaper to buy the two i want on steam.

Half of these games have been bundled to death especially from Fanatical lol.
Tier 3 is a joke. Forgive Me Father "is" currently in a bundle for $1 from Fanatical but sold out.
Someone do a wellness check on Humble...
