Wondering about Humble Bundle

[Minux]

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I learned about Humble Bundle. I've always been reticent about buying anything there, specially due the fact of the low prices. A lot of things come to my mind every time I see some kind of bundle.

The first thing that comes to my mind every time a see a good looking bundle is, how can this be possible if just a single game makes the price of almost all of them on Steam?

I kinda thing some of the deals are massively huge. But I can't avoid that question, and much more, anyone has sources on this being legit?

It looks too good. Any advice you can give me over it?

humble bundle is a legitimate storefront/key seller, there are plenty of reviews and resources easily found through a quick google search including plenty of topics about it here on steam

humble is charity oriented and for bundles you can actually choose how much each involved entity gets from your purchase there.

as for their legitimacy ...
the first bundles they ran, were actually in cooperation with Valve, which setup packages, so that they only required one key to redeem.

they are established since a long time in the industry and even when IGN took over they simply continued to not ♥♥♥♥ up.


as for pricing of bundles ...
Steam keys have a value of: 0
they are generated for free.
so for a dev there no costs in putting a game in a humble bundle, except for minor human labor.

the pricing of video games is arbitrary anyway. even on Steam itself. you pay 35 bucks for a game, someone else in some other country pays 10 bucks for the same game.

it is more a thing of "how much can the customer afford or is willing to pay" and for humble bundles, there is the charity aspect and no one really expects to make big cash money.

that being said, humble is also a key reseller store too since a few years, but they prices there are not much different from Steam.

Humble Bundle is owned by IGN. As they are part-charity, they can easily acquire unique bundle content from publishers and developers that can be sold at a lower rate either through their own prices or under guidance. Sites found here https://isthereanydeal.com/ are are recognised retailers which operate varying business models.
