Here's your chance to get Stellaris for cheap, as it's the new early unlock for the next Humble Monthly bundle.
For $12 a month (or less if you pay for more months), the Humble Monthly bundle will throw games at you. Each month they give you an early unlock where you instantly get the featured game. This month is Stellaris, the space strategy game from Paradox.
You also gain access to experimental games, but it's never clear which of those support Linux as they never list platform icons on the monthly bundle page.
At the end of the month, they also throw more games at you, but you never know what they will be.
Not a bad deal for Stellaris by itself really, usually the early unlock is a pretty decent game discounted.
To the people subscribing: how's it working out for you?

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: SkudraQuoting: iplaygameswearingatuxBought the April monthly for Dirt Rally, which was a disappointment due to its difficulty. Otherwise, the bundle seems OK. 4 out of the 6 surprise games are on Linux and have good reviews. But those are games I would never buy. Will try them out to see if I like them. :)Same, bought April for Dirt, ended up too damn hard.
Been subscribed since january of this year, so far pretty good titles. Started to play that This Is The Police from this month's bundle and I LOVE it, will keep playing (like i have time for that :D)
As far as I am concerned, I just love that game so far. Just like both GRID Autosport & F1 2015, it strikes the perfect balance between taking risks and driving carefully.

As someone who (a) sniffs out bargains and (b) is primarily a Linux gamer, the Humble Monthly Subscriptions are generally very tempting. I get them if I like the early unlock, and I only buy one month at a time. If I like the early unlock AND it is out on Linux, then I'm very likely to get the Month's Subscription. Much of the time, I've been happy with the Surprise content, but not blown away by it.
My first Monthly was May 2016, where I got Mad Max ahead of the rumours of it coming to Linux, and then it came to Linux. (Yes, I took a bit of a risk, but I would have played the game on Windows if it didn't come to Linux.)
June 2016 - Rocket League ( + The Forest, Planetary Annihilation Titans, Steredenn, Wasted, ... )
December 2016 - Dragon's Dogma NOT Linux :( ( + The Escapists, Flame in the Flood, Mordheim, Hacknet) - not a good month for Linux. (I really wanted DD, and plan to play on WINE or Windows.)
Feb 2017 - X-COM 2 ( + Steamworld Heist, Okhlos, Ryse son of rome, Husk, ABZU, ... )
March 2017 - Total War: Warhammer ( + RIVE, Flat Heroes, Space Run Galaxy, Poly Bridge, ... )
May 2017 - Dirt Rally + Inside ( + Metrico+, The Turing Test, Undertale, This is the Police, ... )
June 2017 - Stellaris ( + ... don't know yet ... )
The unlisted months were not appealing enough to me, generally because the Early Unlock wasn't Linux or it wasn't a game I'd like.

Quoting: constSorry for not beeing clear. I meant that Inside may come to linux at some point. AFAIK it currently isn't.That makes sense. I held onto Inside since Limbo made it to Linux.
And I pretty much do the same with the non-linux titles.
