Comment on The Humble Games Situation Gets Messier With Claims Of Lies And Damage Control

Humble used to be an event that celebrated and showcased indie developers while at the same time raising many millions for charities. Then IGN bought it and rapidly enshittified it into a bog-standard, for-profit corporate enterprise like any other, and I’ll never forgive them for it.
Do they even give any of the profits to charity any more? If they do, I bet they only keep it around to take advantage of the tax writeoffs.

Humble bundle does still give to charity. The default they give is usually extremely low but on bundles you can adjust the sliders though they’ve now hidden it underneath the purchase button.
Not sure if humble games ever gave to charity.

Yeah like the default is 1 dollar for 20 or something pathetic.
And there’s a mandatory humble bundle tip that used to not be there.

I’m ok with the humble tip. Got to keep the lights on. As long as I can send the majority to charity.

They shifted it up from like $0.25 to $7.50. that’s more than keeping the lights on money
