Is it just me, or this article basically just an ad, and not a particularly well written one?

You have accurately portrayed the decline of RPS.

Aren't all the humble bundle staff fired and they just use the brand now? So really its a multi pack sale from a corpo. I won't be purchasing from them again.

Yeah fuck humble bundle. I bought one for the first time a few months ago and the steam code didn't work. Their support told me to pound dirt.

You are probably thinking about Humble Games, which is a sibling company. Humble Bundle has been a multi pack sale company for its entire existence.

Humble games is humble bundle. They started doing good deals and some went to charity. They got a good name. They were bought out. A large corporation fired all the staff and kept the branding. No Kore commitments to charity. Just a regular shop, trading on the good name others made. That's scammy and scummy.

Not true at all. They started as a game bundler, and branched out into publishing games..

Also, all of their bundles and sales continue to feature donations to charity.
