The amount going to Humble is the most, even the the Humble slider is the lowest.

Regardless of if this is intentionally designed to be misleading, a stack of sliders is the wrong way to show portions of a whole. I wonder what a better way would be for the web? A single slider with multiple knobs? Or like a single stacked bar with draggable boundaries between sections? I bet you could accomplish that with multiple sliders and some CSS to make them look like a single thing
Just checked the website. Your interpretation (and nine) was incorrect.
The publishers and charities sliders and connected, so they split up a total between the two. The Humble slider is independent (or connected to a referral in a similar way).
There should be some kind of separation here. I’d go so far as to say there should be a text explanation.
The other issue is that they’re absolutely no indication that spiders can affect each other, when using a screen reader. There’s no feedback for a slider you’re not adjusting.
All 3 are connected. If you have Humble at minimum and lower one of the other 2, the humble slider increases along with the one you didn’t slide. Keeping humble at minimum while fine tuning the other 2 is really fiddly.
I set up a monthly donation to charity:water when IGN first added the sliders, before they lowered the humble minimum. It used to be 50%. So now a charity gets a bit more than I was donating through humble, and I spend roughly the same amount buying games elsewhere. I get a bit fewer games, but I play all the ones I buy. /shrug
Sorry, kind missed this. Yeah, there’s some weird stuff going on.
It’s more than fair to focus your perspective on Humble on how they deal with charity and move your resources elsewhere.
Asshole design being incorrect again and even misplaced. Classic.
Humble is still the best place to buy games to support Devs and charities.
5% to charity is still higher than 0% like all other market places. They still have to make profit and support the staff that work there… They themselves aren’t a charity… Come guys…
Also, they have the lowest cut take compared to all other market places. Steam, epic, Microsoft, they beat them all… AND you can get steam keys from them.
If you ever have to buy a game on steam. Buy it from humble to better support the dev. Stop crying that everything isn’t perfect, is still better than the rest. What’s more annoying then shitty captilism is misplaced anger and uneducated consumers.
This is the sort of thing the law can’t keep up with. Markets do this better. I bet someone could make a “no ui bullshit” certification and then websites could display a little badge. Like LEED, but for websites and with regard to protecting the user’s sanity and trust.
Deleted my account years ago when they capped donations to charities but not themselves.
$0.60 by default? Another reason to hate humble.
