Considering the huge ammount of games with humble store widgets, you might need several years to get the ones you want.

Pretty sure that's the cheapest The Swapper has been, and it's damn good.
It says deals expire in 24 hours with new ones coming tomorrow. Since the entirety of their catalog seems to be on sale at the moment, I think it's a pretty safe assumption that they'll be expanding the catalog as the sale continues.

The $15 base price is the same, but right now it's on sale for $5 on the Humble store. I don't see any such discount on Steam.
[edit]: Ah, I see what you mean. I thought the last Steam sale was 50% off, not 66%. Still, it's $4.99 instead of the $5.09 it was on Steam, so you save a whole 10 cents! :P

Only 10% of proceeds go to charity though? That's kind of lame.

More like that the charities they do support arent exactly the greatest ones...
Comment has been collapsed.
So true. I much prefer to buy from a company where no proceeds go to charity and whose CEO refuses to donate to charity.
Sadly, Steve Jobs is dead, so that's starting to get harder to do.

I was here to say that i dont like that 10%. But not for the same reason as you.

I think you have to see the Humble store as a store and not as a charity organization. In my opinion they've already made an epic move so i guess it's kind of okay for them to think a little bit "bigger".
As long as they keep publishing the bundle and don't turn into Ubivision Arts it's all fine by me.

Hey Ubisoft is definitely a cut above EA and activision.

I haven't played blacklist but far cry 3 was amazing. And AC series has been pretty rock solid for the most part. Besides it's not just about the games, Ubisoft has been very good to PC players as they are now going to be making their PC versions much more then console ports. Plus they're bringing the division to PC now which looks good. And they've shown they can still produce with new ideas like Watch Dogs. Sure they've been doing annual AC releases but It's not like they're doing annual generic military FPS releases every year plus another 50$ worth of map packs or "DLC" tacked on top.
Not to mention they are doing a lot with their presence in Montreal opening up a lot of new jobs for creative talent. Of all the big publishers Ubisoft deserves the most respect.

grabs popcorn and waits for shitstorm about inclusion of child's play
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok, so child's play is run by the penny arcade guys, and Gabe/Mike has made some fairly assholeish comments over the years (you can look that one up) so some people don't want to support the charity because of the association. That's the TL;DR version of it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh is this because of the dickwolves and the rape comments they made?
I bet it is.
EDIT: Have some context:
Cards Against Humanity Guys Speak Out
These are less ragey then some other articles. Fun reads.

i was aware of all this. however, i have decided not to let disagreements with creators affect my enjoyment of the things they create. same goes for Orson Scott Card. Mike fucked up a couple times, im sure he's a perfectly nice person normally, and i'm not going to let that get in the way of my enjoyment of the comics or PAX.

from what i can tell they did a tasteless joke and later withdrawing the tshirts about it removed any respect i might have for them, im not saying ill boycott any products by them but it makes me sad to see anyone back down, i mean jokes often are awfully offensive, if your a proper artist you take the flak for it if you think its funny but then i think jimmy carr is probably the greatest living standup comedian and boy can he rub people the wrong way :)

see but now he's getting more flak for saying he didn't want to remove the t-shirts.

Wicked. I want to gift a copy of Gunpoint here. I love the heck out of that game and want to share. Will do it when I get home.

Only 10% to charity? How are they different from any "big bad" corporation now? They all give 10% to charity. Like someone said above humble business. And no, i don't care that they're giving us cheaper games than steam does(for the ppl in the EU anyway since the prices are in $), the site used to be about charity.
Comment has been collapsed.
You do realize that they need to pay for things like servers and bills and food and other stuff that people need to survive right? Do you realize how many people only pay $1 or just enough the bta? And then the amount they give to charity or the devs? They need some way to be able to feed their families and pay for things that they need. This is their job not their past time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since when to people do charity work to feed their families? Wasn't that the whole point of this website, selling games for charity? Do you do volunteer work to get paid? Don't they already keep a tip off all the sales? How can websites like groupees magically survive but humblebundle needs to set fixed BTA valueshigher than the BTA of all other sites of this kind or make a separate store to survive?
They are even listed on their own wikipedia page as a NPO, mayby they forgot about that.

Seriously, this attitude pisses me off. I work in global development and trying to get funds is ridiculously difficult. The idea that non profits don't need money and don't need to pay their workers is laughable.
Comment has been collapsed.
As i said above, if they're looking to make money maybe they should get into another line of work. Considering how many bundles they sell and the fact that most people leave the default split even with dicks paying just 1$ they should be getting more than enough to maintain their servers. Turning a charity into a business, while legal, is in no way ethical and it's one of the reasons some people hate/stay away from charities to begin with.

The site never used to be about charity. If it was, all the proceeds would go to charity. Humble Bundle always has been a for-profit organization, from the beggining.
Also, the slip on the bundles has always been 65% devs, 20% charity, 15% Humble Tip. But this is a store, and they need to have advantages for the devs, otherwise devs wouldnt see much point on going in there. The split is now 75% devs, 10% charity, 15% humble tip. The 10% of the charity has been taken to be able give devs enough of the split.

"Since when do people start NPOs to make money?"
Oh, boy, do I have something to reveal to you...
That,and, well, think for a minute. The humble tip is 15% on the store. It has always been 15% as the default split on the bundles. This is the percentage they consider they need to mantain the site... since always. But they need to give more of the split to the devs because they sure as hell wouldnt sell on a site that would give them even less than steam. So they cut 10% of the charity to be able to give more 10% to charity.
And there is nothing wrong with it at all.
Comment has been collapsed.
The question was rhetorical(and sarcastic) and i was asking you since you claimed they were always a business. Why don't they drop their cut to 10% and give the 15% to charity. On the whole they would be getting a bigger tip anyway since this is a fixed price store not a pay what you want. From the outside it just looks like they're turning more into a store and less into a charity.

Does anyone know why the keys were removed exactly?
On topic. It's weird, seems HB took a page out of Indiegala's book. (Though doing it better because the games aren't garbage.)
Pretty pricey though. It kinda just feels more like steam deals. Also only 10% goes to charity? Yeesh... humble bundle really isn't very humble anymore..
Comment has been collapsed.
10% seems just fine. If anything, it is too much. This is a store, not a bundle. They need to have advantages for the ones who want to sell there(they give 5% more than steam does to developers). They also, for the most part, have the drm-free versions of the games on their servers and they have to have money to, you know, pay for the servers, manuntention and etc. Furthermore, they always have been a for-profit organization that gives SOME money to charity.
Also, the slip on the bundles has always been 65% devs, 20% charity, 15% Humble Tip. But this is a store, and they need to have advantages for the devs, otherwise devs wouldnt see much point on going in there. The split is now 75% devs, 10% charity, 15% humble tip. The 10% of the charity has been taken to be able give devs enough of the split. And Humble Bundle actually gets the same percentage they always did.

Doesn't steam take 30%?
Seems this is strictly better for everyone.
Comment has been collapsed.
Seems fine to me. If anything, creators should get 80% and Charity 5%
And as it is, I will continue to use the widget option the most I can. 95% for the creator, 5% for humble, nothing for charity. As it should be.

big charities are a scam... you don't know where your money is going and peopl don't know what the hell is going on in the world behind their computer. but they can go ahead and think they do. :D

I think it's funny how many people don't know that The Humble Store has been around for waaaaaay longer. It just took them this long to actually make a page for it. However, there has been this unofficial page of every game on the store.
Comment has been collapsed.
Really? I mean yes, some of us knew about it. But are you really surprised that most people didn't know about a store without a storefront that was accessed solely through manual, sparsely-published links? :P
