I still own all 800+ titles that I've gotten from humble bundle's subscription regardless of whether or not I continue the sub.

These are digital goods, it is very easy to know how many keys were purchased by their marketing department and sell ONLY that number of packages!!!!!
When I buy something I OWN it I don't OWN the rights to try and RACE the internet to a website to get a CHANCE of getting the product I paid for!!!!
I did eventually get all of the keys I paid for a year + later. I was not happy as a customer and cancelled my membership since.
Just my opinion but monthly membership bundles offered have steadily declined in the quality of games offered over the years and recently I was mostly getting games I would not play anyways!
That said, it doesn't escape me that we don't really own anything. It can be taken away at a moment's notice if the digital store front decides to shut down. Worse, even if you get a physical version these days, the lack of patches means the game comes half baked if it even works as some require online connectivity to even play single player games.

A) stop selling everything even if many people want to buy the bundle regardless if some keys are temporarily OOS and not start selling until the publisher sent them a new batch of keys which could take weeks.
B) Sell the bundle notifying customers that some keys are out of stock because many people might not care that single game is delayed.
Either way you are going to have angry customers. One route doesn't result in massive amounts of lost sales on their side. If I was in their shoes I know which route I would take. But I can understand your frustration. Thank about it another way: if you owned a Golden Corral would you close your restaurant because you ran out of mash potatoes or put a sign on the door about the potato shortage?
Again, using this bundle as an example if they ran out of The Outer Worlds this might be a very different conversation. You paid top dollar to see U2 in concert yet here you are listening to the opening act play 7 encores because Bono decided to take a mental health day. You'd be pissed

Especially since you have 3-years of GPU, and you can always buy those games later for less.
Count me in for Team Don't Get a Subscription. I saw this and was pleasantly surprised I recognized the bigger draws. Humble Choice has been a bust in my eyes and don't understand who picks the games, but the Humble Bundles and Choices I have snagged have been awesome for me. We are living in an age for gaming where emulating massive number of older console games requires minimal modern hardware. If that isn't your thing, the number of "must play games" from the last 20 years that are available for less than a pizza is so big, it is hard to not have an insane backlog of games. I know everyone is different. I think subscriptions for games are like subscriptions for cable bundles - pay X for 100 channels when you are only interested in 1-2, but if you want that one you really want, you need the bigger subscription. I remember when Netflix lost some of the popular shows because rights got too expensive and people started getting annoyed they would need additional services. The people with them purchased were laughing because they were not reliant on who owned the rights. At some point these services will suffer the same fate as the big TV streaming services are currently experiencing where cutting back what is provided becomes necessary for profitability.
It's not so much a complain about the value rather if the games are your preference. I have like 900 games between Steam, Epic, etc. but the vast majority were giveaways or "bundle fillers" in my eyes. Many are games I have never even heard of. So the value proposition for $12 for 6 games is obviously there, but there are many times where at most I am interested in one. So now we are talking $12 for 1 game + 5 games I don't care about. I can get 1-3+ games easily that are on my wishlist for $12 total on sale.
It's kind of the same argument I have against GamePass. I saw someone else say they don't bite if there are less than 3 games they would be interested in. I'm usually okay with 2-3 games, if they are the more expensive ones. Usually I can find 1-2 indie games in a given bundle that looks interesting, but not a draw/desire to buy. If you have 2000 games, what percentage of those have you even installed never mind beaten? 🙃
They obviously don't look like quality games...

I typically don't beat games because I always end up playing the same fps title for years on end. From my point of view, it's similar to going to an old coin-op arcade. It's like putting four quarters into one game and playing for a short while. It's the dollar per hour of entertainment return. If I get an hour of fun out of one of these games, I've beaten many other entertainment options.
I like getting games that I haven't heard of. It forces me to try stuff outside of my normal zone, and I've been introduced to many games and game styles that I wouldn't otherwise be introduced to. This also scratches the itch to purchase new stuff every Steam sale. I know there's a new bundle coming next month, so I hold off on buying new games that I don't need. I used to buy tons of games for $5 each in steam sales, but I've curbed that impulse because I get most of what I need from the bundles.
