The other options won't go up, assuming you sign up on the day (since it's a recurring discount).

Really?  I don't really use Steam, but from what I've seen, highly rated new games are typically around the $50-$60 each mark, so if you get at least one of these a month, it's already paid for itself.  I guess on the other hand though, you do have to keep paying to retain access to the games.

Anyway, that was just a hypothetical price - yeah, assume whatever you believe is more reasonable.

Yes, it would need marketing for people to know, so I guess the assumption is that this would be well advertised in advance.
The timeframe would probably need to be adjusted depending on how well known it is though, as you've said.
