Changes Coming to Humble Bundle Sliders

if this means better games for their bundles, i don't mind. besides, people were suggesting for this when they removed the sliders anyway.

30%? Don't tell Epic.

I don't think they're getting greedy, moreso just reasonable. I reckon the majority of people modified the sliders to give to the devs or charity, and I mean, they gotta make money somehow. If you're buying the bundles with the intent to give to charity, you can always give to charity without Humble Bundle as the middleman, so personally I don't see any issue at all.

I used to think like "There are greedy" and partly it is true.

But after I thought about it, if they can make good bundles that sell instead of bad ones that don't sell, I think it can be better.

better than having no slider or charity capped at what was it, 10%?

Every corporation is "greedy", that's just how it works. No company is in business to lose money. That said though, there's a such thing as reasonable greed, and I think this counts as reasonable. If you set Humble to zero, they get no money, and they need at minimum enough to pay their bills and their employees. 15% - 30% to Humble doesn't seem unreasonable, and the rest still goes to charity and the devs, which is still more than can be said about many other sellers of games.

I'll decide on exactly how greedy they are when I see the default for the slider. Currently it's at 40%, which IMO is very greedy.

I have no problem with Humble taking a minimum cut, but Epic led the market with 12%, Microsoft will also be moving to a 12% cut on Windows, and Apple and Google reduced developer cut to 15% for many cases. 15% seems fine to me, but 15%-30%, without describing the specific cases where the 30% minimum will be applied to, does seem greedy to me when other companies are dropping their cut.

In my book, thats a change from the old "too good to be true" towards a new "totally fair".

Notice that they only talk about a Humble minimum. No word on a minimum on the dev siider.
They really don't care if you screw the devs to give more to charity as long as IGN is getting their 30%

This is much better than I thought they were going to do. They've had to do this by sacrificing the point of the company tho

also its ign, soo take what they say with a grain of salt

They would need to come up with a bundle that's worth purchasing first. I'll think about those sliders when I buy one, but I haven't bought one in a long time (apart from Choice, that is).

I can live with this. Just hope they keep the option to choose your charity. I don't want to give to the crap they generally push.

Just another reason for me not to use HB anymore.

good move

If the bundles get better, I´m definitely fine with it. 15-30% to Humble sounds totally fair for me, the rest still goes to charity and the devs.
It´s definitely better than the short time without a slider and I´m really happy that humble still has the charity option in general.

I am ok with this, I doubt that majority of buyers mess with sliders at all, they are just there to buy games. I am interested if there will be minimum amount assigned to developers/publishers.
