      Humble bundle is just exhausting now. Countless different bundles most completely uninteresting and when a bundle has something is interesting it’s $20 to get the interesting thing. And you have to make sure your purchase isn’t tied to some proprietary third party platform.

      Humble bundle used to be so good. There used to be no minimum prices for the lowest tier, the lowest tier used to include interesting games. Higher tier/full bundle was usually around 5$ because it was the average purchase price. It was possible to give all the money to charity. Early on games got Linux ports just for humble bundle, sometimes you’d get the source code for the games. And it was still a big commercial success.

      It’s a sign of the times that they’re doing this along with the learn to code stuff they’ve had forever.

      I admit that I edited the image, it’s actually ”solopreneur”, but that’s not much better because wtf does that even mean?

        I used to get programming books from humble bundle quite often because they would still sell DRM free O’Reilly books after O’Reilly switched to a subscription model on their website.
