Hi guys!
I’ve just received this month’s Humble Choice notification on ITAD, and checking about these, I’m interested in quite a few. For the total price of 12 bucks this seems like a no brainer. My concern is this is a subscription service. How does this work? Can I just buy for this month and then go and immediately cancel so it doesn’t charge again the next month, and still keep all these games? How easy/hassle-free is to cancel?
Thanks!

You absolutely get to keep your games, you don’t get to keep accessing the… App… That they have gate keeping a bunch of their “trove” games, but if you’re just going for this months games subscribe, redeem the keys, and cancel.
I don’t believe there’s any saying you can’t continuously subscribe and unsubscribe. And if there is, sign up with a new account, they’re selling steam keys, they can’t revoke them.
It’s honestly one of the best deals in gaming imo. I’ve only had 1 or 2 bundles I wasn’t enthusiastically happy with, and I found friends who were interested in taking those keys off my hands.
That said it only adds to my back log every month. But 10$/month (grandfathered in) I cannot complain with the service at all.
Actually 1 compliant, if you don’t redeem the keys immediately they might “run out and be ‘temporarily unavailable’” I’ve found a dozen of those and I check in on them once or twice a week and in the last 6 months they’ve only gotten more keys for 2 of those games, fortunately the 2i was most looking forward to.

Also, you can skip a month if you don’t fancy any of that month’s games - the only downside to doing so is that the discount you get on the Humble store resets back to the base value.
