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.

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.

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.

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.

There’s a WHOLE lot you could do with a multiplayer Witcher hunting game tbh, and it could be a solid choice given how much attention the Monster Hunter franchise has been getting.

I just look back a few years ago when practically everyone was praising CDPR for being such a fan-friendly company. It boggles the mind how they seem to be aggressively and actively looking to undermine that.

Chet Hanks has already been tapped to play Vanilla King, the secondary antagonist in Black Panther 2.

If you think of stewardship as nurturing and growing a property, I can definitely see where the concern would come from. As others have already stated, Transformers has been transformed (lololol) into an explosion factor for an international market that presumably doesn’t have any particular nostalgic attachment to
