The amount going to Humble is the most, even the the Humble slider is the lowest.

Asshole design being incorrect again and even misplaced. Classic.
Humble is still the best place to buy games to support Devs and charities.
5% to charity is still higher than 0% like all other market places. They still have to make profit and support the staff that work there… They themselves aren’t a charity… Come guys…
Also, they have the lowest cut take compared to all other market places. Steam, epic, Microsoft, they beat them all… AND you can get steam keys from them.
If you ever have to buy a game on steam. Buy it from humble to better support the dev. Stop crying that everything isn’t perfect, is still better than the rest. What’s more annoying then shitty captilism is misplaced anger and uneducated consumers.
The slider for Humble is furthest to the left, while also being the highest cut of the pie.
That’s pretty fucking asshole design. You don’t get to claim you’re doing something “for charity” and then use psychological tricks to convince people to give more money to you. That’s not doing something for charity, that’s claiming charity as a marketing gimmick.
I agree that some money going to charity is better than none. However, it’s not like Humble is a wonderful company that’s owned by people who care. Humble Bundle is owned by a publicly traded company called Ziff Davis. They care about paying their shareholders more than anything else. You are a fool if you think otherwise.
The sliders on Humble’s donation tool is obviously designed to fool the consumer into giving Humble the most money. If you don’t believe me then go to the website and test it out yourself. Stop sucking the cock of capitalism and learn to criticize all brands, even the ones that you like. It will result in better products for the consumers.
Regardless of if this is intentionally designed to be misleading, a stack of sliders is the wrong way to show portions of a whole. I wonder what a better way would be for the web? A single slider with multiple knobs? Or like a single stacked bar with draggable boundaries between sections? I bet you could accomplish that with multiple sliders and some CSS to make them look like a single thing
Just checked the website. Your interpretation (and nine) was incorrect.
The punishers and charities sliders and connected, so tiff split up a total between the two. The Humble slider is independent (or connected to a referral in a similar way).
There should be some kind of separation here. I’d go so far as to say there should be a text explanation.
The other issue is that they’re absolutely no indication that spiders can affect each other, when using a screen reader. There’s no feedback for a slider you’re not adjusting.
All 3 are connected. If you have Humble at minimum and lower one of the other 2, the humble slider increases along with the one you didn’t slide. Keeping humble at minimum while fine tuning the other 2 is really fiddly.
I set up a monthly donation to charity:water when IGN first added the sliders, before they lowered the humble minimum. It used to be 50%. So now a charity gets a bit more than I was donating through humble, and I spend roughly the same amount buying games elsewhere. I get a bit fewer games, but I play all the ones I buy. /shrug
Sorry, kind missed this. Yeah, there’s some weird stuff going on.
It’s more than fair to focus your perspective on Humble on how they deal with charity and move your resources elsewhere.
More so bad implementation of a feature. Would be surprised if they actually cared about the sliders being slightly incorrect when most people slide the humble and game studio to the minimum and charity to the maximum…
It took me a bit of staring to realize what OP was complaining about - I think it’s that 0 is at the right for the slider, not the left. So they’re not slightly incorrect, they’re reversed, with the implication being that someone absentmindedly trying to donate nothing will donate everything
Deleted my account years ago when they capped donations to charities but not themselves.
This is the sort of thing the law can’t keep up with. Markets do this better. I bet someone could make a “no ui bullshit” certification and then websites could display a little badge. Like LEED, but for websites and with regard to protecting the user’s sanity and trust.
$0.60 by default? Another reason to hate humble.

Gamers make it their job to hate everything at nearly all times.
Nah, I generally hate when something is presented as helping charity when most of the money doesn’t go to them.
Another reason I hate them is that they forbid giving away your games from the humble bundle.
Do you just not know what you’re talking about or are you intentionally lying?
Edit: cool so you’re just lying on purpose because nothing you’ve said is true. I don’t understand why you’d do that but okay
To cite them:
Our mission is to support charity while providing awesome content to customers at great prices.
Their first and thus apparently most important reason for doing all this is “to support charity”.
If we go by the screenshot alone, it’s $12 of which only $0.60 goes to a charity. Which is 5%. Compared to $3.60 or 30% for Humble. I’m not gonna include the developer’s fee because the developer is not the one claiming they’re doing it for charity - they’re obviously doing it for the money first and foremost.
Sure, more than nothing, but taking 30% is shady enough, IMO.

It’s all about the intent. Steam is there to sell you games. Humble is there to support charities while giving you cheap stuff. In their description the charities are the first thing that gets mentioned. And then they give them 5% of the money.

What do you want them to do?
What I’d want? For them to give at least half, not measly 5%. Come on, they’re bragging about giving to charity while really not giving them 95% of their income. Like, at this point I’d rather donate the $12 to the charity myself than support yet another parasite on the donation system.
I donate to various things regularly (mostly stuff local for my country, but some international as well from time to time), be it charity or open source projects, and I hate when everyone takes a cut out of this. But at least most of them have the decency to send most of the money further, not only 5%.
I’m negative because I don’t see anything positive on a charity gaining $0.60 when $12 was given to the one who collects the money.
The developers are taking a big revenue reduction to support a charity not Humble. If this is the recent bundle than what Jagex is selling normally costs more than $190. The default should favor the charity not Humble. Humble is just mooching of Jagex’s goodwill.
