So, anyone else feel that a company who makes money off of reviewing games and advertising them is now going to own a company that sells games is a bit of a conflict of interest or is that just me?

I know they say they'll remain separate, but c'mon, that's not rain, you're peeing on me.

RIP Humble Bundle

All hail Bundle Stars

Oh no. Lets hope they do not break it.

Wow. Did not see that at all.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. :( I hope someone creates a new version of it.

Oh well. I just deleted there spammy ass emails.

Guess we probably won't be getting those free games every now and then now, hopefully we still do though.

frickin awesome news

"Terms of the deal were not disclosed..." Or, in other words, IGN paid-what-it-wanted to.

RIP Humble Bundle

As long as it still serves its primary purpose (donating a portion or all of its sales to charity's) I'm good with it

IGN is corrupt as hell. Bye HB, it's been fun.

Look on the bright side: From now on the "Humble Tip" slider's going straight to 0%, which means more money for charity!

Ill be cancelling with HB monthly(yeah I know "big deal") . I dont support IGN.

The other day I was thinking about buying a bundle,well not anymore.

IGN is garbage.

IGN will steer HB in the right direction.
Great acquisition from a great company.

I wonder if IGN will recuse themselves from reviewing any game that would be sold through Humble Bundle as there would definitely be a conflict of interest.

I'll wait and see how this turns out before judging. I mean Blizzard is owned by Activision but it hasn't turned to shit, maybe this will be similar.

Rest in Peace, Humble Bundle! You were the one that were going to change the world. Now IGN will rape all the good will and leave you an empty husk :(

"Too much humility 4.7/10 - IGN"

Well there goes that one.

WHAT

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
