Thanks for all you do to allow us to find the best game deals. And thanks for the continued updates.
One suggestion: "Least Shops" had me confused for a few minutes; I had to read your description of the changes (on the previous post) before I understood. Granted, I'm a very literal person and a writer, but "least shops" makes no sense. I'd recommend changing to "Fewest Shops" so it's both grammatically correct and, hopefully, will cut down on any confusion. :-)
It is really frustrating that bundles no longer show when they took place directly on the game page. Now you have to visit each bundle individually to tell when and/or how long ago the game/DLC was last bundled...
"We are not really sure how (or whether at all), you're going to use Community notes"
"we assume we have community that doesn't want to poison this"
"At least that's the idea :)"
I really like your spirit of putting improvements out there, even if you don't fully know how they will be received and your confidence in the community. Thank you for your sustained work on ITAD. Without you guys, buying games would be much more complicated and I would have bought many games twice and for a worse price, I'm sure.
Not mentioned on the bundle page is that this also comes with a separate download code for Cattails: Wildwood Story Soundtrack, effectively making it the Cattails Deluxe Edition.
Love the idea of Community notes. I would like to suggest noting "skippable dialoague" and "skippable cutscenes" if possible to implement, as those are features I look for when buying games.
I feel like the "Shopping list" icon should be better with the traditional shopping cart icon. It makes it better to understand its purpose. The current pin icon suggests more that you are pinning "somewhere" the game.
Friend found that link and it's like previous giveaways which lets you claim the game in browser instead of in-app.
I ended up claiming in app, which was done by going to Library -> Free Games -> and then hitting the blue "+ Add to my games" button below the Future Soldier banner in the list.
What didn't fit in an update: in shopping lists, I'd like to figure out a way to show substitutions to games you have in. I mean, if you have two games that are in the same bundle, it might be cheaper to just get that bundle instead. But it gets complicated quite a lot, quite quickly. Even now the purchase orders computations I worry might get too much, so I want to see how y'all are going to use it and if there are any problems that need to be solved first.
Also, it would be great if I could get shops on board to have a quick purchase option - so you don't have to go to each game page on a shop and add them one by one to cart, but if I could send you directly to the pre-filled cart, that would be awesome imho.
info - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - Digital Deluxe Edition is unavailable. This may be due to the current stock of keys running out. Please try again later.
Is there any way to maybe show which giveaways on the front page are for mobile? Like maybe an obvious overlay label/sticker thing on the thumbnail, put them in a separate section, or something?
I keep clicking on the EGS mobile giveaways, not realizing they're for phones until I get the unsupported device message when I try to check out.
1. Clicked "Go To Giveway" button here, at the upper-right. Landed on GOG's store page for the game.
2. Clicked "Go to giveaway" button on GOG's store page for the game. Landed at https://www.gog.com/en/#giveaway.
3. This is the place to get it free. You may have to scroll down a little, but you'll see a box where you can claim Silence for free as a giveaway.
I can confirm that if you immediately start scolling on the store page, you'll see, "Buy all games in the series" and it's $1.99. The "series" is the game and its demo. If you click the game, it's still $1.99. If you click the demo, it's free. Don't bother with any of that. The first thing you should see, without scrolling, is the giveaway link. Although it's a bit confusing, I don't think there is a better way to handle this, really.
Just make sure you're logged in to GOG, click my link above, and grab it off that page. Job done.

The euro / €-price tags on Humble Bundle(s) inflate as t...
Durandal_1707arbiter48 days ago
They change the prices over time? I have not see this on USD, but I don't check EUR frequently.
I have noticed you sending batch updates towards the end of bundle timeframes (appreciated btw... 👍️ ). I assumed it was that the prices hadn't been entered in EUR which happens sometimes. If you're on discord, perhaps reach out to me there or in the feedback section so I can try to figure out if there is a pattern.

The euro / €-price tags on Humble Bundle(s) inflate as the time passes, until to the last week by avarage.
Has been a thing for quite a while (more than 6-months now).
It is most certainly does not appear to be the old "avarage price" system Humble Bundle used to use for "middle / avarage"-tier.
For a reminder, Humble Bundle used this system:
- Tier-1 "minimum"
- Tier-2 "Avarage"
- Tier-3 "Complete".
Both Tier-1 and Tier-3 used to be a fixed price throughout the duration of the bundle.
At the moment, the only that can be in this regard is to simply insert the euro-rpices manually when there is a change
( which I for one have been doing for quite some time now; incidentally I just submitted the newest up-to-date prices for this bundle ).

Not sure if "go to giveaway" button adds game to the library...
Durandal_1707arbiter50 days ago
The concatenated purchase link in the "go to giveaway" sometimes gets messed up with the new EGS store system. That is why I also add the individual purchase page links with their respective OS indicators at the bottom of the page just in case.
Not sure if "go to giveaway" button adds game to the library if you go through PC. After I add it, it's still asking me to add upon reentering the link. And mobile EGS still showing "install" (equivalent to purchase/add to library). Only on mobile EGS it's adding the game correctly and button changes to "download".
I like the added art and personality. And this is one of my all time favorite sites (I've told lots of people about it but I don't think they've realized just how damn good this site is!)
