Humble Bundles are not the right way to support a charity -- they're the right way to support IGN. It used to be possible to minimize/remove the amount Humble got, but that time has long since passed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- tzs 4y ago> Humble Bundles are not the right way to support a charity -- they're the right way to support IGN There are actually people who buy the bundles to get the ebooks. If there are more than 2 or 3 ebooks in the bundle that they would have otherwise bought from the publisher or at retail then the bundle costs them less. That the bundle also includes a small donation to a charity and several other books is just a bonus.
- vertis 4y agoSure, and I have no problem with people that just want a bundle of goods. But the charity angle is just disingenuous given how much Humble takes for itself.
- homeland221 4y agoMajority of charities are inefficiently managed. Don't believe me go look up 10 charities you know of and check their finance. Sometime for every 1 dollar you donate, 70-90cts are used to pay for their admin. Humble bundle offers values that hard to get by elsewhere. I have now always donate 50% to Humble Bundle and 50% to publisher. If I wish to donate to charities, I donate directly knowing exactly which charities I donated and how those money being used. Giving money to legit business are way better than charities in vast cases. Business is sustainable. Majority are audited and offer things/services we need/want. Charities....well they offer ONLY sympathy as their product trailed by lots of questionable administration costs.
