"We see DRM as something which can make the life of a legal customer more difficult," says Michał Kiciński, "so there is no reason to keep it alive."

I do too, but Humble Bundle got bought by Ziff Davis/IGN.

They laid off the all Humble staff in 2024. They also limited the amount that can go to charity and allocated more of those funds go directly to them.

HB was good when you could set the entirety of your purchase to go to developers. Now they greedily force you to divert a minimum to themselves

If it were only that…

The default split is 30% to Humble, 65% to the PUBLISHERS (not devs) and a whole 5% to charity. The sliders to change the split are hidden by default, so I doubt many people tweak the percentages. They’re just a game bundle/steam key reseller site with a gimmick, nothing more.

I wonder how much actually goes to charity once PayPal takes their cut.
