Just get in line and I'll get the chainsaw.
I lol'd pretty hard. You seriously have no idea what you're talking about. Humble Bundle is NOT a charity.
Default split when you buy a Humble Bundle (assuming you keep the price you pay for these games at the default set amount of $25):
$10 (lowest set option):
$1 (custom amount, mostly what the smarter people pay for when they don't care for the charity):
Holy shit, OVER 50% will go to the developers of these games, they can't even think of a decent split for the charity. So tell me? Where in the world do you see the charity receive more than half of the earnings from Humble Bundle. Assuming that this HB gets over 400,000 sales (and I'm sure it will), if everyone bought the bundle for $1, the developers will receive a whopping $260,000 while the charity receives $80,000. The fuck? That is 3x LESS than what the developers get. Totally not fair, the point of Humble Bundle is to blind people (i.e. you) into thinking that they're helping a charity (and you do in some sort of way). In the smaller picture, the developers will get most of the money which in my opinion (wouldn't be surprised if it was true), the developers PAID Humble Bundle to host their games because these are seriously some shitty games. As I said before throughout this thread, I have no issue donating to a charity UNLESS there is a smaller scheme behind (this case, the majority of they money towards the developer). Also, please don't tell me that the developers put hard time into these games. It doesn't take less than a semester in a college class to learn how to code a shit 16-bit game, invest money into HB to have them host your game with a few others, and then profit.
