Lol, I dunno if it's them expressing their feelings so much as them taking advantage of a business opportunity.
Honestly, I could see it being both. HB isn't entirely cold-hearted corporatism.
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.
Humble has coincidentally been a lot more shit since then too. I used to buy game bundles all the time, now it’s $20 to get maybe 2-3 games worth playing instead of $15 for 5-6 indie titles that were genuinely good.
I stopped buying their game bundles when they started using Steam keys for everything instead of letting you download DRM-free.
I still sometimes buy their book and "software" bundles, though, but I always check to see how they're going to be redeemed.
Their Manga deals have been pretty amazing, when they have them every once in a blue moon.
I can't be the only one that thinks IGN, a game reviewing website, owning a publisher and storefront seems utterly immoral, right?
Wasn't IGN the shithole that had the Kane & Lynch ads plastered everywhere, plus a totally 100% unbiased review?
Wasn't it IGN that hasn't been relevant since at least 2005?
