Deleting my Humble Bundle after the insistence on the recent changes. I don't blame them for trying to become a business, but maintaining the air of charity about it is pretty despicable. Why not just run a perpetual storefront *and* maintain the charity drives at full tilt? https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/humble-bundle-will-start-capping-charitable-donations-again-despite-backlash-earlier-this-year
@robertcc
Gathering a cut to cover infrastructure and other expenses seems perfectly reasonable. 30% seems excessive though. Still a great service for devs, consumers, and charities so I'm not mad.
@tilduke 15-30% is normal app marketplace percentages these days. As a charity, they'd have charitable-organization methods of covering raw expenses in other ways than charging flat marketplace-profit percentages on the likes of Steam/Google/Apple/Amazon/etc.
It's fine they want to be a business, but I'm unappreciative of the approach.
@robertcc
It'll be interesting to see if it actually reduces average payments overall too. Now that they are taking a minimum percentage cut I am much less likely to pay over the minimum value like I normally would. I'll put my dollars to direct donation instead but overall this will hurt the charities.
