minus-squareBURN@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up48arrow-down1·10 months agoHumble has coincidentally been a lot more shit since then too. I used to buy game bundles all the time, now it’s $20 to get maybe 2-3 games worth playing instead of $15 for 5-6 indie titles that were genuinely good.
minus-squareWhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-210 months agoI stopped buying their game bundles when they started using Steam keys for everything instead of letting you download DRM-free. I still sometimes buy their book and “software” bundles, though, but I always check to see how they’re going to be redeemed.
