It sucks that they are doing that now, but for me it's a simple solution. I will just stop using Humble Bundle. I am not a good consumer or a "sheep" so I have no problem from saying bye.
I mean it's a solution, but is it a good solution? Why not just buy the bundle and make manual donations as a consumer, if the bundles are saving money?
Considering 5% is not 0%, there is still value to both consumers and their charities in what Humble Bundle are doing (So long as they are able to get "Good" titles in the bundles - which will imply that they have to pay more to the software publishers to get the deals necessary to put in their bundles, Therefore it becomes unaffordable to donate away
If someone is doing something that I feel is wrong, I do not support them period.
That's fine, but without proper foundation it's an irrational choice being followed blindly - It is dishonest to say you're not a sheep in that case.. it's being a sheep to just follow some article's negative sentiment without appropriate cause. You don't state anything they are doing is wrong, nor provide any foundation there.
They seem to be doing nothing that they were not doing before, other than removing an option from bu
You forgot to mention the part effecting the charities.
What "part effecting the charities"? Obviously it puts those at a disadvantage that buyers can no longer Opt to allocate like 99% to charity and 0% to Humble and the publishers, But you fail to indicate anything about how this is wrong and a violation of a moral duty on Humble's part.
The notable feature of Humble is kept that people choose how much they will pay, And the bulk of the revenue ends up going to Publishers by default.. Their blog post s
Sure buying on Humble Bundle (I mostly bought book deals) a lot of the money went to publishers, writers etc. as it should be as I want them to continue to write books etc. A bit no doubt went to Humble Bundle and because an amount that I was happy about went to charities. Truth is you can find the books I read at discount prices so my main reason for using Humble Bundle was because of the charities. Now that is gone, so am I. I there really anything wrong with that?
So tell you want I'll be the bigger pers

The charities are still to be on Humble after their UI update described in their blog post... As for buying books from other retailers: the charities will get nothing, the publishers will also get a little and most goes to the bookseller - the price is also bound to be higher if it's not a used book... Doesn't sound like a better alternative to Humble ---- that is a problem.. any known source seems to be a worse option No next best alternative really exists that does anything in
the ballpark of what HB did or does.
