I mean, discuss >I'd rather gripe. Well, have you come to the right place!!!! ;-) I skipped this month's Humble Choice. It's not so much that I don't really like "Diablo IV" --the genre doesn't excite me, but I wouldn't mind taking a look at the game-- as I just didn't want to have to bother with Battle.Net. Or generally deal with Activision (I've softened a little on the company since the Microsoft purchase and ex-CEO Kotick's ousting, but I still don't like them very much). So even at $16USD, the price wasn't attractive to me... and none of the other games were all that interesting. Which is an increasing issue with recent Humble Choice selections. I've said it before: I just don't think the service is worth it anymore. Years ago I was a big fan, but over the past year or so the choice of games has become worse even as the price has risen. I like to poke fun at Amazon Prime Gaming, but between the two services, Amazon's is the better deal. Still, at least Humble Choice gives me something to write about on Usenet once a month. And hey, sometimes it results in free games for quick-witted readers too!
