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

If it were only that....

The default split is 30% to Humble, 65% to the PUBLISHERS (not devs) and a whole 5% to charity. The sliders to change the split are hidden by default, so I doubt many people tweak the percentages. They're just a game bundle/steam key reseller site with a gimmick, nothing more.

I wonder how much actually goes to charity once PayPal takes their cut.
