Yeah gog is pretty neat. I also use humble bundle store to buy games and it helps charity
I do too, but Humble Bundle got bought by Ziff Davis/IGN.
They laid off the all Humble staff in 2024. They also limited the amount that can go to charity and allocated more of those funds go directly to them.
HB was good when you could set the entirety of your purchase to go to developers. Now they greedily force you to divert a minimum to themselves
