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!
They also straight up publish indies themselves, too!
YSK Humble Bundle has a game store for GOG and Steam keys, which uses its profits for charity

Except the team behind that suddenly got laid off last year. It was so sudden that developers were left in uncertainty because their contract person suddenly disappeared.

Godamnit Ziff. Thanks for that, had no idea. Fucking tired of useless c-suite executives.

You should also know they were bought a couple years back by IGN, and have drastically increased the minimum “tip” amount that you give them while alao hiding the sliders at all.
They also changed the choice discount you get on their direct store to slowly ramo up to 20% only when you stay subscribed for 12 months straight. It resets to 0% if you pause a month.

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

Do note if you buy a bundle you need to adjust the sliders to give more than 10% to charity.
Store and choice only give a tiny amount to charity
It’d be better to buy from a cheaper key seller like greenmangaming (or any store at isthereanydeal, or key resellers which is less moral but more savings at allkeyshops) and donating 50% of the price difference to charity.
