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.

JudasIscariot: I don't but that's because a) I have a HUGE backlog of games b) I'd rather buy a game at full price* if the game is one that I have been looking forward to or I liked the developer's previous works c) I don't like buying bundles only for one or two games and then have keys that I cannot use.

(*Full price meaning something like 9.99 EUR, if it's something like 40 EUR....yeah no, I'll wait for a sale :D)
True. So true.
Can't help not to comply here.
Gotta say this scenario is a damn "harsh reality" for so many gamers and that's somehow unfortunate.

Holy crap I have too many games and too little "true quality time" for them. :(

That's another stuff that makes me sad.
I don't think that's weak support, I just see it as a rushed deal.

htown1980: I used to. Now I don't really.
Same here, although I still have to check for new bundles just in case. ;)
I'm mostly interested in the mobile bundles with Android games, as it is my major (outside of free-to-play games, only) venue to get Android games, as they appear DRM-free with a few exceptions. I especially like the bundles that come with both PC and Android versions of games, I wish GOG would do the same.

Some AAA-title Steam bundles are ok too, in the sense of "get lots of Steam games very cheap", like the earlier EA/Origin and THQ bundles. As long as they are so cheap I wouldn't mind rebuying DRM-free versions later on, if such ever came. Quite often though those bundles are not as sexy as they sound at first, due to missing lots of DLCs. I've passed quite many bundles after seeing they lack lots of apparently useful DLCs or expansion packs, and buying them separately would cost much much more than the BTA price of the bundle. It seems intentional, offer the base games very cheaply but make the DLCs quite pricy and/or numerous. Not that far from the free-to-play model which quite often sounds better than it really is.

For Steam indie game bundles, not interested usually.
