Also, the game is made for attractive people, it doesn't make you attractive

They get what all other sites get when they use the Steam API to link up, nothing about our personal info at all.

You are paranoid. Take the tin foil hat off.

Nothing about your Steam data was given away. They got just as much from you as when you linked your Steam account with one of the several forums they run. And even then you need a public profile for it to have any value.

Nice, now you can choose how many tenth's of one percent you give to charity and devs.
Remaining 99% goes to IGN.

No more free games i guess.

+ steam api data or scraping profile sites directly to avoid steam api limitations.

humble did not have more information about steam user accounts then anyone else can gather himself.

i wanted also mention tinfoil hats but since that was already done...

is that your site btw?

And? I've got nothing on STeam that i'm particularly ashamed of.
Interesting though. But then I guessHumble Bundle wasn't doing that great.
Suppose there's a lesson here.

Maybe if they'd stuck to doing good weekly bundles instead of pushing the monthly thing they'd be in a position to avoid a buyout or at least command a higher buy out price.

I'm cautiously skeptical of Humble's being sold to IGN for now.

For me, the key thing with Humble is that they are an alternate source of DRM-free games aside from GOG. And they often offer DRM-free direct downloads (or even (fully legal) torrents, if I recall correctly) alongside Steam keys.

If you cut that out of the picture, then a good number of my potential purchases will end up being on either GOG or Steam, and since I've lately been prioritizing DRM-free-ness, when the two conflict I'd go with GOG in most cases since I'd be forced to choose (if Humble offered both I'd pick them, though it still matters whether it's on sale when it's convenient for me to pick it up.

I guess one could say "Humble was one of the good guys", but...what exactly does that mean anyway, in practical terms? Is that just a feeling? Because if so that's no more meaningful than one's distaste for IGN.

IGN gave Undertale a 10/10 (it's not even that good wtf) and gave Nuclear Throne a 9/10 (it doesnt crash like at all) and Stellaris a 6.4/10 (it deserves higher), don't expect anything good to happen.
