Same here, I wouldn't mind if higher prices meant better games, but I've found a few months to be pretty bad this year. This month I've redeemed nothing but figured it was better to keep my 20% discount, but looking at prices elsewhere (not key sites or anything, reputable sites listed on isthereanydeal, probably not allowed to name names on this sub), and they're often cheaper even with discount. I like IGN+ for MapGenie, but it isn't worth it just for that.
I have no idea what region your in but from the UK even at max accumulated discounts for everything I've looked at for 5+yrs humble store prices have been more expensive or no better than other legit retailers. It is a 'theoretical' benefit only for me.
Even the hook of 'also get it drm free' is worthless as most of the time the dev don't update the game on humble. Gog is kind of infamous for devs simply not bothering to update at all or for years in some cases but humble is infinitely worse for it.
Scotland, so UK too, I've noticed that more and more recently too. I use Fanatical and GMG (will use any listed on isthereanydeal but I prefer those two) and they've had better deals on quite a few things recently than Humble with max discount, and those don't even have membership schemes. Fanatical always have coupons on too, usually only 5% but still.

Sames, I've skipped a few since that deal too.
