Humble Bundle used to only be known for selling game bundles for a discounted price, but I recently found out they now have a regular storefront and let you buy games individually!

    You should also know they were bought a couple years back by IGN, and have drastically increased the minimum “tip” amount in bundles that you give them while also hiding the sliders more. Instead of being the $1 of old humble, its now $7.50.

    They also changed the choice discount you get on their direct store to slowly ramp up to 20% only when you stay subscribed for 12 months straight. It resets to 0% if you pause a month. The 20% off also has random exclusions, so it just doesn’t apply, or applies at some lesser rate at their whim.

    Its not a bad site, but it’s slowly enshittifying a hallowed name in gaming.

      Very good points!! I hope people realize these things- not to dissuade them from using it entirely, heck I still like it as a store and I’m glad it still donates something to charity- but i also think it’s important to recognize that it is definitely NOT the entity it once was
