But on the other hand the last monthlys weren't that good anyways IMHO.

What? My Best Uncle is dead?

Seriously. Whatever. They were shitty for aome time now. Changing ownership might make no difference or even help them. Why the panic

Pubs wised up to the thing as well, must've been harder and harder for HB to get good deals.

Humble Bundle still has the best quality of games then it is probably Bundle Stars with Indie Gala and Groupees usually at the bottom of the barrel.

It hasn't had good games in years really (apart from few rare occasions), at the beginning it used to have surprisingly modern/new games and good games too but it diminished pretty quick.

Euhm, that Steam thingie you mentioned... had nothing to do with things like HumbleBundle/Bundlestars

They could easily carry on, it was to stop the cyka blyats and other type of scum that made shit asset flips, distribute thousands of games for free to cash in on the 1 penny card profits.

I think IGN will use humbebundle.com as an AD platform, linking all the games to their reviews and stuff like that.

I guess this means business has been going bad for quite a while now.

Otherwise why even consider sale. Especially if most of the revenue is charity and not pure profit.


Not necessarily going bad, maybe just a case of typical greed and IGN happened to be dangling their Dorrito covered, Mountain Dew dipped kawk in front of them at the right time.

make sure to grab the last one with borderlands, as is pretty much the only decent coop loot shooter out there, and thats a sad state of affairs considering its almost 10 years old Crying or Very sad

with helgate london coming second, alltough i had great fun in both, both had soooo much more potential grrr but got the copy paste rushed/milked treatment in the end.

Am I the only one who thinks that Humble Bundle behind a big name may bring better bundles with newer games and not the old rehashed bundles over and over again? Confused
Why so pessimistic? Clearly with influence from IGN we could expect more different titles in the upcoming bundles.

I don't mind IGN taking over the HB. Quality of bundles went down a long time ago so how much worse can it get?

Not that i like IGN, but maybe we will get better bundles back, at least the first few of them.

Exactly, they probably want to still profit from this (ie. maybe even generate more data)...
They could get better games on it by promising good ratings Wink
