Humble Bundle is a very popular video game e-retailer that is well known for bundling together games for an extremely reduced price. While many fans also support Humble Bundle in particular because of the company donating a minimum of 5% of proceeds to charity, the site has announced that it is going to be making some changes to how fans choose those donations.

As the system works right now, when a customer purchases one of Humble Bundle's extremely popular bundles there is a slider at the bottom of the page that lets the purchaser decide exactly how much of the money goes to Humble Bundle, the charity the bundle is supporting, or the developer. The company has no announced a change that will see that slider go away.

It has now been announced that the slider will be removed from all of Humble Bundle's themed bundles, bringing the bundle charity donation system more in line with what is currently present in the Humble Store, where players can buy individual games for a more standard price. The change will see the charities receiving a default 5% of the purchase, and while an option to donate extra to charity hidden behind a drop-down window raises the percentage to 15%, there is still an undeniable cut to options for the consumer.

Accompanying the change is an update to the bundle page that sees the different tiers of a bundle delegated to different tabs rather than being organized in a list running down the page. Reactions to the announced changes have been predominately negative. Many Humble Bundle customers are saying that the removal of the slider is an effort by the company to keep more of the money for itself, while others are saying that the new tab layout will intentionally make the tiers more confusing. With the increased number of video game e-retailers, like Steam and the Epic Games Store, the move very well could put Humble Bundle in a risky place.

The update is scheduled to go live in late May, so there is still time for Humble Bundle to change its mind on the decision due to the negative feedback. Similar events have happened as of late, such as when Sony decided to not deactivate the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita stores. However, Humble Bundle is no stranger to controversy, and it has shouldered the brunt of similar customer anger over past changes like when its subscription service Humble Monthly transitioned to Humble Choice. Only time will tell whether or not the company sticks to its guns, but it should not be long until customers know as May is just over the horizon.
