Nope. I just saw it as a shit shovel with sprinkles. The shit being the garbage games and sprinkles being the good games. I’d rather just buy the good ones individually instead of filling up my library with garbage. Also, since tehnically those devs are getting sales, it makes them think their shit games are good and we end up getting more shit games.
gord0 I don’t worry to much about refunds. If I buy a game and it sucks donkey parts, so be it.
Heck many people returned No Man’s Sky, but I still enjoy it. Granted I have not played in a while, but hey… new games and new time constraints restrict me from playing all games all the time.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to condemn you for your choice… it is your’s after all. I was just stating my platform.

The way I see it. I don’t give people money for being garbage. So I get my money back when they give me garbage…actually. Does humble bundle let you return individual games in a bundle? You could just buy the bundle that has the game you like and return all the shit ones that came with it… I doubt they’d let you but it’s what I’d try to do if I ever were to buy there.
"So what do Humble get out of the deal? Money, stability, and exposure, I suppose. "
So does this mean they will stop defaulting such a high amount towards a tip. I mean by default its higher than whats going to charity. It made sense when they first started with Indie Bundles. You could download everything in the bundles DRM free off the site. Nowadays most bundles are steam key only with maybe one game that comes with a DRM free version. So why the hell are you still defaulting to such a high tip amount. Your server usage is a lot lower just giving out keys than it is allowing people to download large files off your site.
That’s what happens when you get big I guess. You get bought. But IGN is a kind of an odd buyer I would’ve never thought of.
I’ve always used and liked Humble Bundle a lot, though I’ve gotten far more picky in the last couple of years as they got big-big and the stream of bundles became endless. I imagine that won’t be slowing down. Press release says it’ll still work independently and no staff changes.

They’re probably diversifying because no one takes their reviews seriously anymore.
gord0 Ensure their multicoloured haired friends with their “Next Great Indie Game” get exposure & sales through a market place that they control, especially in the Humble Monthly? Oh, I definitely don’t see that ever happening…
Meanwhile it closes of another avenue for the indie developers outside of their clique.
I enjoyed Humble Bundle, doubt this will help them in the long run.
