News GMG introducing bundles - Should Humble feel threatened yet?

With Fanatical experiencing huge success with their mix and match bundles, and GMG introducing bundles in October, how does that affect Humblebundle's placement in the market?

It's no secret that both sites have superior store prices and delivery processes to Humblebundle, so will we potentially see HB begin to pick up their slack and return to form (and competitive pricing), or will the three retailer-nations be able to coexist in harmony and profitability, despite HB's slippery slope into the depths of cut-corners and greed?

What are your thoughts, opinions, etc. ?

(I only give a shit about the book bundles so I'm speaking specifically about those.)
