So HumbleChoice is bumping their price from $11.99 USD to $14.99USD, a

In fairness to HumbleChoice, they've kept the $12 price-point for at
least 8 years at this point (maybe longer but I don't have receipts
going back further than that to check! ;-), and given that EVERYTHING
is going up in price, it's hard to see them not following suit. Still,
even though it's not anything I can't afford, a 25% price hike is a
pretty extreme jump... especially since I've been finding
HumbleChoice's offerings increasing lackluster. They're okay, but
never exciting.
So I am actually considering whether or not to kill my subscription
over this. Do I _really_ need 8 new games a month, only one or two of
them I really care about? Especially when -of the games they were
offering that I DID like - they were usually barely more than the $12
entry price already. AT $15 USD, the 'savings' evaporate.
I gotta give this some thought.
I've looked at the Humble Choice before (£8.99) and although there are sometimes a game or two that interest me it's really never been enough
to justify the price especially when I think Amazon Prime kinda does the
same thing just with different games.
Assuming it goes up to say £13 then I shall be even less interested!
