    IGN bought them a couple of years ago.

    Besides locking down the charities, they also increased the “minimum to get all of it” price for bundles to $25, and made it so the “minimum” tip to Bundle is $7.50, up from $1. They also hid the charity sliders behind more obscure UI elements so people mostly forget that selecting the share of the bundle going to charity was a big part of the experience.

      I remember when the minimum tip to Bundle was $0. That change also stood out because I used to set it to something like:

      • $1/game going to developer for games that had native Linux versions
      • $1/game going to charity for games that didn’t (+more to meet any minimums to get the whole bundle)
      • $0 tip (because Humble as middleman got plenty of profit from people who left it at the default)

      And I often picked a different charity than the default.
