Grargar: Interestingly enough, the number of available games is 12, meaning that even Classic subscribers won't be able to get them all.
This has apparently been a common assumption as to how things were going to change when the shift was made to Choice.

(It seemed like idle speculation to me when I first read it, but after reading a few Reddit responses the past few weeks apparently it was more commonplace than I thought)

Well... I kind of knew that this will happen, there is more game that I would like to have than I can chose... yay choice...
Luckily for me chances of being interested in more than 10 titles are slim. Being interested in more than 3 was rare xD

For this bundle it's 2 from the looks of it, Graveyard Keeper and Two Point hospital. Might see if it's worth trading for them instead though TPH will probably be one of the most wanted.

Yeah, this probably feels like Humble opening the gates of heaven to people who kept moping about a steady lack of racing and/or fighting titles being offered in almost any bundle.
It probably makes sense to only unlock the games that you really want to play or trade right away. Some of the games will show up in the Humble Trove in the future and at that point you can download them anyway without "wasting" one of your choices.

TheMonkofDestiny: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War (unknown as of my posting as to whether it's the definitive edition, but based on the SRP for the entry it seems like it probably isn't -
I just thought I'd butt in and say that it is a fantastic game, a bit similar to the Batman Arkham games and, dare I say it, better than them in some ways.
Well, Some more gifts for my giveaway next year. But at least I'll finally get Graveyard Keeper.
I kind of enjoyed Shadow of Mordor, but never got round to finishing it- does SoW do anything notably different that might make it worth playing if I felt the original ran out of new things to see far too quickly?

Also, is it possible to get the SFV DLC with in-game money? Specifically the 'season' DLC characters? I love Menat's design, but I've heard she's really hard to play as and I suck at fighting games, so if I get the base game for a pittance, it would be nice to be able to 'earn' the chance to mess around with her rather than splash out real cash on something I'll fail misrably at.
I'm glad I held off on many of these that were on sale during Winter 2019. All in all, pretty happy about the 10 I picked. However, I was certain HB made it a point that classic subscribers get ALL the games that would be made available. Kind of a selling point for current subscribers to stay on board during this transition. Sure, there were 12 this time instead of 10. Still, that leaves a sour taste for me.

Yeah, choice is relatively good, but still, I was counting games and rows like madwoman once it gone live.

I got a bit carried away activating games and 8 in, I then realized the remaining activations was less than what was left. Thankfully I didn't make any mistakes in my initial choices. Phew. Now going forward, will need to be more strategic. /sigh

It's possible to unlock characters/etc. with the fight money but you'll be in for a real grind if that's the route you plan to take. The characters unlocked that way also don't include their additional costumes (if you're the type to care about that sort of thing) because those will require you to grind out more fight money to purchase them as well.

With the Champion Edition right around the corner (relatively), you could redeem the base game and just wait for the upgrade path to go on sale or buy in on it early if you prefer.

There's the whole siege mechanic which is sort of interesting. I just wish they'd done more with it, especially for multiplayer because at least around release it wasn't worth doing because I barely got attacked at all.
Decent bundle - found 5-6 games for myself (with 3 which were actually kinda on my wishlist) and another 4 games for the non gog giveaway of which i actually consider at least 2 really good (and just didnt take them bc they were a bit off my personal interests and wouldnt stand a chance in the infinite backlog)
I'm a little bit pissed that Bad North: Jotunn Edition is in this month's selection. The developer/publisher allowed the game on GOG Connect, knowing fully well that they'll be giving it away on HB. Kinda of a dick move Plausible Concept / Raw Fury
