About Humble Bundle

Humble Bundle sells collections of games at a price the buyer chooses, splitting the money between developers, charity and the platform. It has raised more than two hundred million dollars for charities since 2010. Buyers choose how their payment is divided, and the charity share is chosen from a rotating list, which made the model unusual among storefronts when it launched.
