    This should be illegal. IGN buys up practically everyone except Kotaku so they technically don’t own a monopoly over the gaming media sector?

    EDIT: Hang on, wait a minute. Humble is a games publisher. IGN is a games reviewer. Isn’t that conflict of interest?

        Aren’t they the ones that made it so you have to give at least 30% to humble no matter how you do the distribution

          That came after the purchase, yes. They’re also far less likely to have DRM-free versions of games these days. It destroyed a lot of my reason for shopping there.
