Reminder to max out the donation to either the publisher or the charity, and leave as little for Humble Bundle as possible.

This is like common practice here… talk about something. But don’t actually link or post it

I got an email advertising a learn unity bundle from them this morning, I don’t think they care lol

Reminiscent of the Elvis manager that sold “I Hate Elvis” buttons along with his “I Love Elvis” buttons.

Apparently not enough feelings to take their “learn unity” bundle down that’s still going for 10 days. The little money it raised so far is laughable compared to the Godot bundle.

I think it was mostly Zenva rushing to get some sweet cash while the drama and popcorn around Unity are still hot. HumbleBundle being anything but humble of course would set it up ASAP, I bet the charity was decided from a random wheel they keep around.
I hazard this guess because most other Zenva bundles offer Unity and/or Unreal courses. Also, a large portion of those Godot videos are “HumbleBundle Exclusives”, so stuff that they likely haven’t finished yet

How are these tutorials overall though. Humble has pushed out some real stinkers before from no-name tutorial mills so I’m always a bit way.
I know from their blender sales that some of the places they partner with are legitimately shit (low quality recordings, poor sound, poor pacing, not showing screen keys, poor instructor guidance etc)

On Godot subreddit, some one complained that the pixel art course, which is worth $50(Zenva’s default price) and included in this bundle has a poor quality and it’s obvious that the instructor isn’t an expert in the field.

Zenva’s instructors are extremely hit and miss.
Many feel like amateurs who made 1 test project and are now teaching it.
The phaser tutorial felt like the instructor was a C# developer trying to teach JavaScript.

Yeah was discussing this with a friend and basically this is exactly why I don’t buy these bundles. They’re often not really at the level of proper martial created by an educational institution, but more collections of stuff that you might otherwise find on YouTube etc

No idea, but if you want to give it a try, let me know and I’ll give you the keys.

Reminds me even more of the DnD problem. The Pathfinder 2 bundle was insane, happy I got it
Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 9 months ago
Except they also have 2 bundles for unity and 1 for unreal. This is just cherry picked.

So, I guess you could say a lot of people are waiting for this?
fluckx@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I saw this and thought the exact same thing.

Be warned, Zenva runs on cloudflare and if you’re on mobile, you’ll be rate limited. I’m currently locked out of my brand new zenva purchases because of this stupid shit.
Molecular0079@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Lol, I dunno if it’s them expressing their feelings so much as them taking advantage of a business opportunity.
pjhenry1216@kbin.social 9 months ago
Honestly, I could see it being both. HB isn't entirely cold-hearted corporatism.
FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Uh in 2017 Humble Bundle Inc. got bought out by IGN Entertainment which is owned by Ziff Davis …so yeah it’s part of a big shitty corporation.
chaogomu@kbin.social 9 months ago
They're charity as a corporate marketing tool.
Which makes them a lot of money (including a lot from me).
520@kbin.social 9 months ago
They're IGN.

Wouldn't be bad at all, since Dollar is the only language John Riticiello (the guy doesn't deserve me looking up how he's spelled... so that's what I go for...) speaks. Not fluently, but still.
