Remember when Humble Bundle was actually a charity and not just a charity-themed storefront owned by IGN?

Well, technically owned by IGN, a subsidiary of Ziff-Davis, formerly J2 Global, formerly Ziff-Davis. I'm sure firing what was left of the employees with any commitment to the concept of HB and folding the brand under the rest of your e-commerce verticle will have no further adverse effects on the quality or usability of HB as a service.

Yeah, and when it was about releasing the titles as open source games as well.

It's like you can see the future, everything will be just fine and nothing bad will happen /s I haven't used HB in quite a long time so I didnt even know they got taken out. Shame real shame
