18 hours ago  Humble Bundle is currently facing something of a backlash after announcing they will be replacing the sliders on bundle purchases, with two options that are far less generous. The what: usually when you go to purchase a Humble Bundle, there's sliders allowing you full choice on where you money goes. You could choose all to developers, all to Humble, all to Charity - or whatever.

• Python script to extract all Humble keys and redeem them on Steam automagically. This is primarily designed to be a set-it-and-forget-it tool that maximizes successful entry of keys into Steam, assuring that no Steam game goes unredeemed. This script will login to both Humble and Steam, automating the whole process.
• Bundle purchases through Humble will now work pretty much the same as Store or Choice purchases once the changes go live, where a preset amount of your purchase price goes to charity.

Humble has now actually announced their planned changes which include an overhaul to bundle pages. They're replacing the sliders with only two options. The option to give more to charity will be capped at 15% up from the normal option being 5% (which will make it match Humble Choice).

Across Reddit, Twitter and other places they've seen a backlash on this since people feel it's no longer them being 'humble'. The replies and quoted tweets from the announcement are particularly critical of what Humble are doing.

As a Humble Partner, I'm definitely disappointed they're doing this. To be blunt, personally the charity angle for me was a nice extra while buying a bundle of games now and then when it interested me personally. I do hope Humble are listening to the feedback on this though, while business is business and as a store they want to obviously be sustainable and turn a profit (and so do the developers / publishers involved) - it's clearly not a very humble way to go about it.

How do you feel about this? Will it affect future purchases from Humble for you?
