Humble bundle does still give to charity. The default they give is usually extremely low but on bundles you can adjust the sliders though they’ve now hidden it underneath the purchase button.

Not sure if humble games ever gave to charity.

Yeah like the default is 1 dollar for 20 or something pathetic.

And there's a mandatory humble bundle tip that used to not be there.

I'm ok with the humble tip. Got to keep the lights on. As long as I can send the majority to charity.

They shifted it from a $0 minimum to $7.50.

That's more than keeping the lights on money, as the old humble was doing that just fine without any mandatory amount. Even taking into account taht they want to pay off their fresh purchase, IGN is gouging.

It doesnt help either that the charity slider is always set to a minimum now. It used to be evenly weighted, but now it's weighted about 45%/45% IGN and the vendor, with maybe 10% to the charity by defualt. You have to click through a hidden menu to fix it.

And they made it such a pain in the ass when you adjust the sliders to maximize the charitable donation and then the cut for the content provider. Like, let me just put in amounts so I can max out the charity donation, minimize the payment to Humble, and give the rest to the content provider.

This used to be super easy, back when I bought bundles practically religiously. Glad I cut the habit after they sold out to IGN.
