Comment on Humble Bundle have launched their 2025 Pride Month games bundle

Even Humble Bundle itself is pretty enshittified compared to how it used to be. They used to give you a lot more control over which charities you supported etc.

IGN bought them a couple of years ago.

Besides aliming down the sliders, they locked the “minimum to get all of it” price for bundles at like $25, and made it so the “minimum” tip to Bundle at like $7.50, up from $1. They also hid the charity sliders behind more obscure UI elements so people mostly forget that selecting the share of the bundle going to charity was a big part of the experience.

  I remember when the minimum tip to Bundle was $0. I remember because I used to set it to something like:
  
  $1/game going to developer for games that had native Linux versions
  
  $1/game going to charity for games that didn’t (+more to meet any minimums to get the whole bundle)
  
  $0 tip
  
  And I often picked a different charity than the default.
