      Yeah, I don’t buy from them anymore since Ziff Davis bought them. I wonder what kind of tax breaks they wrangled out of it.

      I haven’t bought a PC gamefrom them in years, though I still occasionally buy their RPG book bundles.

      Yup. I switched to Linux before Steam on Linux was a thing, and Humble Bundle was my go-to source for great indies (most of which supported Linux). I paid way more than the bundle price if the bundle had a good selection of Linux games, and things were great. I even had Humble Monthly for a while before Choice was a thing.

      Ever since IGN bought them, they’ve changed, and now I only pay the minimum. Few of the games have native Linux support, and I can usually get the games cheaper elsewhere unless I want at least half the games. So I’ve moved most of my Humble Bundle spending to Steam and Fanatical because Steam continually improves Linux compat and Fanatical has build your own bundles (great for low risk branching out to new games).

      It’s really too bad. I used to love Humble, and now I rarely visit their site. So it goes.
