So it's currently a limited selection of a few games, but who knows what direction Humble may take this in.

For what I'm understand we can't re-gift DRM-Free from HB and I think for this update there's would be no more DRM-Free copy in regular Monthly or it come along with it?
Bleh. No, thanks.
Nah, the one or two good drm free games I have already got from there. Too much steam keys and not updated games for me to be interested. Be careful as their interpretation of drm free may differ drastically.
" just keep your subscription active to enjoy. "

Well, you can subscribe for one month, download all the available games, then unsubscribe immediately.

Yeah, that doesn't seem to be particularly sustainable unless they expect people to drop in, drop out.
One of the porn sites had this model and they had to eventually double the cost for the first month.

This basically gives you access to Humble Original games that you might have missed, if you haven't been subscribed since the beginning, plus whatever additional games they decide to add. So, if you're subscribing for the first time, as an example, you're getting access to all the previous Originals, and not just the current one. It's tagged as beta, so this is obviously a test that Humble is doing, to see if it adds any value to the Monthly subscription.

As for the licensing of Humble's DRM-free downloads, it's probably the same as GOG: "3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else."
Ah, so it's an addition to the monthly sub? Good, but it'll never amount to anything serious.

No, it's included in the monthly sub.
Back on topic, honestly I don't know how subscription without DRM is supposed to work. I hate DRM just as the other guy because it makes me feel like I'm only renting my games, but still...

Well yes, that's what I meant, though I see how it can me misinterpreted.

A subscription without DRM can work just like a regular humble monthly subscription with DRM - people who paid the monthly fee get their games for the month added to their accounts and everyone else doesn't and, if interested, has to buy them from the store individually.

A standalone "trove" model without online DRM which incentivizes waiting for as long as possible would crash and burn. As a bonus to the regular rolling subscription (DRMed or not), it's going to just stay around without making much of an impact (fine by me, as I'm not interested in DRMed monthlies).

Interesting, this is the first I'm hearing of this as I don't believe I saw any newsletter pop up about this for monthly etc. I do wonder how the whole thing works in this case. It clearly says DRM-free but do you need to remain subscribed for the games to work (which would in fact me they have DRM then) or does remaining subscribed just guarantee you access to more new DRM-free stuff they add? I'm guessing the games here aren't added to the user's library instead like the originals are from the monthly?
Several new games have been added to the Humble Monthly Trove:

- Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- Alan Wake's American Nightmare
- The End is Nigh
- LIMBO
- Gone Home
- Shadowrun Returns
- Teslagrad
