No doubt.
They have 30+ bundles listed at the moment and I'm sure some of them are great but I've unsubscribed from their notifications, they've lost some focus and quality control from when each bundle was a notable event.
They sold to IGN a few years ago.
It was also when they introduced a $7 minimum humble tip for the bundles.
it lets me customise the tip/charity/bundle organiser ratio and i'm 85% sure I've gone under $7 for the tip multiple times
You can still customize it, but it has hard minimum at what I think is $7. The old humble had no minimum at all. They also deceptively set the "default" cost 1 tier above the actual "get all the items" cost for bundles. A very irritating and obvious dark pattern.
Just IGN brutalizing a beloved name in gaming via enshittification to make its money back.
Instead of speculating I just tried and the minimum you can go on the bundle above is 3,75 EUR.
Apparently the minimum to Humble is generally between 15% and 30%
This bundle had no minimum to the publisher but some bundles apparently do.
