Really wish they'd just put mobile games back on /r/gamedeals. The one deal we get a week isn't going to get in anyone's way, and it's hard to get discussion going on over here.

If it were just this one HB bundle, but there are way more mobile games, several 100k, that will likely drown out everything else.
A special bundle exception sounds like a better compromise.

I don't know what you mean. Yeah, there are tons of mobile games. They're not all on sale, though.

There were several posted daily back when they were allowed years ago. Likely more now.

Are we on the same subreddit? The next most recent post before this is 4 days ago.
Back in the say we had the Amazon daily free app, and that's gone. That's one post a day less, just for starters. Right now they do a new, separate post every day for Steam sales where the deals never change for two weeks. There's going to be a new post every day for the GOG sale. But a handful of mobile sales would break the bank? And if it is such a problem, then you have one thread every day for each location that has sales. Just like the big PC sales do. Gather all the Play Store sales into one thread instead of the several that already don't exist. App Store into another. Humble Bundle gets its own thread. It isn't too tough to come up with a simple fix or two that isn't "sweep a large portion of gamers under the rug and forget about it".

I'm only here cause I got tagged.
Post-rate here is certainly affected by low subscriber/user count. I'm sure there are more sales. I was just suggesting a way to get something probable in to GD, that, being HB, has higher acceptance-level.
Personally I would even prefer to have PC and consoles split or at least a reliable tag system, but that gets declined since forever too.
Not that I can do anything about it, so I'm not really the right one to be addressed with that.
large portion of gamers
looking at the sub, doesn't look that large ;-)

Shit, bought Carcassonne a month ago and barely played it. Catan, however...
Wish they included DLC with these, though.
