Imagine if there was a website where you could buy massive bundles of great games, eBooks, software, and other digital content sometimes worth thousands of dollars for as little as USD 15 or 30, all while also contributing towards a good cause! www.humblebundle.com is just such a website.
At its core, Humble Bundle has always aimed at supporting charity while providing awesome content to customers at great prices. This is the ethos it has operated under since its launch in 2010, when it offered a single two-week Humble Indie Bundle. Now, just over a decade later, the website has grown into a full-fledged online digital store, a subscription service, a game publisher, and more. Furthermore, every product they sell contributes a portion of its proceeds to charity in some way.
The website’s core philosophy of offering completely flexible pricing for its bundles has never changed. When you purchase one, you can choose the price you wish to pay. These bundles generally, but not always, operate on a tier system where more content is unlocked the more you spend. That being said, even the highest tier is always heavily discounted, far beyond what you could find elsewhere. You can even choose how your money is divided between the creators, the charity, and Humble Bundle itself.
Its online store, on the other hand, operates on a cash back reward system where 10% of your purchase value is returned back into your “Humble Wallet” and can either be used for future purchases or donated to charity. You can even choose to have this cashback split and have a a part of it instantly donated on purchase. And lastly, they also have a monthly PC game subscription service called ‘Humble Choice’ that lets you choose from a bunch of great games to keep forever. Subscribers also get additional perks, including a further 20% off in the Humble Store and complete access to the ‘Humble Trove’ – an online repository of over 90+ DRM-free games!
With such a flexible and attractive operating philosophy, it comes as no surprise that the website has reached over 12 million customers from around the globe, selling over 47,000,000 bundles and counting, and has contributed well over USD 188 million to charities since 2010!
So, the next time you are looking for some good deals on games, eBooks, software, and other digital content, why not give Humble Bundle a try and donate some money to a good cause while you are there.
