I will say rather "neutral". I still monitor that they offer but
1) Imho its little too much bundles lately even by Humble at SAME time. Main dish, weekly, Flash, Mobiles as separateand so on. its TOOO MUCH.
2) General shifting to Steam-only ofc. I look on that titles in term "gift later to friend" or "trade", but not very much.
3) Weak Crossplatform support too. Times when all titles have to be crossplatform is gone.
4) Overall shifting to rather "weak" titles, titles previously bundles elsewhere, reused titles. As i stated in other tread, Weekly is gettin overall value cheaper with each week.
5) Initial BTA, second week bonuses for BTA only. Greeeedy.
6) Even in MAIN Humble Bundles i feel like quality and greatness of titles offered slowly dropping. Earlier bundles was more interesting? Or maybe i gettin tired? Dust and Gaucamelee was nice, though.
Now, thats good?
1) Generally good support for Drm-free titles which you already got in Library. Like Gettin linux ports for Arcen games, even not being sold by Humble. Thats excludes Mobile titles, though, i noticed they often not getting updated as fast as in Google play.
1a) Getting "major" upgrade from some titles like Trine, just like on GOG. I'm not sure did we got upgrade for Whispering something or not.
But its up to developer, yeah
2) Still generally cheaper stuff. Like Weekly with Unholy Heights in 1$ tier. In term of pure money it was cheaper in Humble.
3) Soundtracks (full), some additional stuff included. Its may be a little but nice to have.
4) SOME games gettin initial DRM-free or linux port in Humble. This IS good.
So, i think its still to early to drop Humble. But do i really wait wait wait for new bundle? not really.
