Humble Store Adds Third-Party Offerings To Digital Switch Selection

What's the benefit of buying it from the humble store?

United States =|= North America

Did the Civ 6 DLCs come out on Switch and I missed it somehow?

@saturn_hero a portion of the profits goes to charity.

@Heavyarms55 Do they ever have sales?

@Nintendofan83 I don't follow it too closely anymore because I don't live in North America anymore. But they usually did have discounts and bundle deals that can save you a lot of money vs buying the games individually.

@Heavyarms55 Im in South Korea but I use a VPN so I'm sure I could get it. I bought a Humble Bundle back in the Wii U / 3DS days and it was pretty great.

@Nintendofan83 I'm sure they restricted it for a reason.

@Nintendofan83

Like any other digital store, Humble Bundle have sales everyday. However, don't expect any Nintendo games go on sale anytime soon if at all. Most console games hardly ever go on sale on these sites, mostly just PC games.

Until the humble store offers Nintendo games with the same crazy discounts they put on PC games, it's hard to care much about this.

@Nintendofan83 Depends on your VPN. Some companies can detect if you are using one and just block you outright. No idea if they do that. But FYI. I know Netflix blocked me when I was using a VPN to watch their American library.

If you are a Humble Monthly subscriber then you get 10% off all purchases including switch games. I also received a coupon via email for $5 off my first switch game purchase. It’s worth it.

@saturn_hero nothing unless they have it on sell or you have a subscription with Humble and get a discount.

Do a monthly bundle with switch games like you do with PC and I'll be interested

Ever since they got bought out and transitioned to what's essentially just another storefront, I stopped caring as much... I guess it doesn't help that my Steam library is full of junk I'll never play. Lol

Oh, I thought it would be a Humble Bundle SALE. They once did one with Wii U and 3DS games anyway. But no, it's just they added Switch games to their offerings. Too bad.

@ALinkttPresent and what reason would that be?

@Nintendofan83
They also sell very cheap bundles. It is usually for PC/Steam, but they have done it in the past for PS4 or Wii U/3DS.
You have 3 tiers for each bundle that starts at $1 and to have the whole package, you usually have to pay $15-20.

@Heavyarms55 The Civ packs have been out since the game released. I have the Nubian pack. It doesn't add a ton to the game, but I like anything that adds variety.

@JasmineDragon I just checked, they aren't in the Japanese eshop, that is why I didn't know.

Well. Thats cool! Glad to see they are supporting it more.

@CorruptPhoenix While you do get a $5 off coupon toward select games (2K catalog) none of the Nintendo Switch games are eligible for the 10% discount. It notes this when you select one and load up your Cart. Or: at least the Cart tells me this with every Switch game I've selected.

When's the next Ninty Bundle coming? That's all I care about.

@Heavyarms55 I remember reading that the Nintendo games do not qualify for charitable contributions or Humble Rewards. Not sure why thought
