For over a decade, Humble Bundle has not only been known for providing several impressive collections of equally impressive games (and assets, comics, books, and more) for players to purchase on a budget, but for also having proceeds from these purchases go towards various charities, supporting several good causes. And those purchasing bundles could choose just how much they wanted to go to Humble, the developers, and the featured charity, thus potentially allowing people to have one hundred percent of their money go towards supporting organizations that can help people around the world. Unfortunately, all of that will be changing soon, as Humble Bundle will be removing the sliders that allow folks to decide just who gets what.

In a blog post, Humble stated that the purpose of this is to unify their various services, pointing out that other areas like Humble Choice and the Humble Store do not use the sliders that allow folks to choose where their money goes. Instead, now buyers will only have defined splits to choose from, which apparently include either a "Default Donation" option that donates five percent to charity, or an "Extra to Charity" option that increases that triples that amount, meaning that charitable donations from purchases now have a cap of fifteen percent.

Unsurprisingly, this announcement has not gone over well with the general public. Several have seen the move as greedy and blame their acquisition by IGN's parent company Ziff-Davis, have said this makes Humble Bundle now little more than a generic key reseller, and have pointed out that this goes against what Humble's creators have stated in the past during the service's beginnings, among other heavy criticisms. The change doesn't begin until late May, though, and given the universally negative feedback and potential boycotts (including cancelled Humble Choice subscriptions), we'll just have to see if there's any response or possible backtracking on this move between then and now.
