Humble Bundle now offers up to 15% given to charity depending on the product, but they don’t seem necessarily transparent about where it goes on a sale by sale basis. They’re now a key reseller with a passively ambivalent gimmick. Do they have a right to exist? Sure. No one’s arguing about that. But it kind of sucks.

I’m skeptical that’s the case. They have a pretty diversified model, and the pay-what-you-want bundle packages are now just a tiny sliver of a marketplace that’s primarily a more traditional key seller. That’s not taking into account that Humble also offers a more traditional monthly bundle subscription plan and even

Just to make sure we’re on the same page, we’ve all agreed to love and protect Gilbert Gottfried at any cost, right?

What do you think is powering the inside of those robots? They’ve just found themselves a full-time pilot/fuel for Trumpbot.

My question is, if we’re assuming that Indy is the same age as Ford, this would take place in the LATE 70s right? Indy was born at the turn of the 20th century. They could maybe push it a decade or two in either direction without completely straining credibility, but I’m curious about what hook they take to retain

Decent chance with Julia Louis-Dreyfus too, I’d say. I’d be surprised if both actresses don’t feature in Secret Invasion.

The Humble brand has expanded, and they have a ton of revenue streams. The scale of the storefront is a lot more than just the bundles, and I suspect the bundles themselves don’t dig that deep into profits. I’m just skeptical that this is anything but a company trying to maximize its ROI. And setting the maximum

I just wish more successful businesses could recognize that they’ve got a good, sustainable, humane model and just stick with that. But this kind of shit is just inevitable now. Any successful business model is going to get bought out, flipped, repurposed for maximum profit, and pimped out as much as humanly possible.

exactly. Everyone remembers Real Steel, but no one has seen Real Steel.

They seem to think that working hard is a virtue and that their preferred standards of hard work should be the expectation for everyone. Most of us just want to live our damn lives.

Working 18 hour days with no breaks sounds just awful, and I really don’t see the virtue in it.

Well, you’ve just convinced me to play this to the end game, and I had NO interest in this game before.

we’re all happy for your wife

AV Club is just pissed because they want Alden Ehrenreich to play Indy.

Sounds to me like Arkham Horror needs to take the Warhammer approach!

This is way too much, and entirely in the spirit of Warhammer. Just glancing at that franchise gives me anxiety.

That strikes me as a pretty weird interpretation of just about everything happening here.

That is one of the dumbest analogies I’ve ever heard.

Death Proof is great, but it absolutely does not need an extended cut.

I think that only really applies to WB, and even then only WB’s film division. On the cartoon end of things, we got things like the BatB Aquaman. I'm pretty confident WB would have learned the wrong lesson no matter what tone the Batman reboot had taken.
