For context: Humble Bundle was acquired by IGN in 2017 and the founders are no longer involved.

It's downright unusable. Had to pass multiple Cloudflare captchas to log in, but no 2-factor. The library only shows 5 items at a time now, so it's 500 pages long for me, which I can't even sort to only show unredeemed items. Order history just shows order numbers and I have to click on each item to see what I actually ordered. UI elements are randomly strewn about, with no coherent design. WTF Humble.

You would hope with all the fucking AI slop code being deployed that TESTING and QA would be having a Renaissance.

You would HOPE.

What the fuck is Humble doing?

You'd think that a service that prides itself on supporting charities, and calls itself 'humble', should naturally be more reasonable.

Nope. With every month it's becoming clearer and clearer it was never about charities. Just money.

Looks like I'll be deleting my account as soon as I get to my PC.

Update: There's no option to delete your account on the new website. There's also no mention of deleting an account on the Humble Support page. Guess they expected people will be doing it.

Update 2: You can submit a request to have your account deleted on the Submit a request page. Select 'Humble Bundle Account', and then 'Delete Account'.

Once you submit the request, you'll get an email verification, because Humble needs to "verify that you are the owner of this email address".

Currently I can login to my account and change the password with no verification, despite previously having 2FA enabled. But as soon as I want to delete it, a verification becomes necessary. Interesting, isn't it?

yep, my account didn't ask for 2fa when logging in.

Bold move to remove security features without notifying users.

More like Fumble Bundle, am I right?

I don't share many of the same criticisms of HumbleBundle as most, and have been a happy subscriber for a long time.

But wow this shit is unacceptable. Straight up removed 2FA without any notification, allow passwords changes without any security. Insane. I will be cancelling my subscription for the first time in over a decade, this is truly inexcusable security fuck up.

Just cancelled my membership as well. As others have noted already, they've gone waaaay downhill since the IGN purchase last decade. I would normally just skip a month as sometimes they'd have one or two games I had fleeting interest in. I am beyond sick of vibe/slop coded crap and I wish I could snap my fingers to erase it all.

You can request account deletion here: https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I just went and had a look and it's even worse than I expected. No 2FA and the login process is: asks for username > have to click the thing to confirm you're not a robot > do you want to use your password or some other bullshit? > click the thing to confirm you're not a robot > enter password > click the thing to confirm you're not a robot. So twice as annoying as having to use 2FA without any security benefit. Some menus and items in the menus just straight up don't work. It doesn't even look nicer at all. And they're currently selling a book bundle about AI Cybersecurity lol.

On the bright side, it only made me confirm cancelling Humble Choice once, instead of the usual 4 times or whatever.

somebody forgot to prompt it with "no errors"... /s

but fr: the only good part about humble bundle in the last couple of years has been the flood of cheap keys on the aftermarket

A week ago I asked for my account to be deleted. I was getting tired of Humble Choice, I couldn't find anything for good deals on their market and I was awfully tired of IGN shoving their shit down everyone's throats since they own Humble Bundle.

Plus a lot of the content they pick, are caught between garbage nobody asked for, content people would want are in upper tiers on purpose or content that made no sense to have been bundled with anyways.

They have been handling Humble Choice awfully for a while now, because they pick a lot of games that were only rated 'Mostly Positive' or just 'Positive' that nobody ever heard of nor care about.

It's always funny over in the HB subreddit how people shit on those not liking the bundles but are always "happy" to get the games or so. Yeah because you're a digital game hoarder, of course you'd take it anyways.

What a fucking shit show. I just tried logging into my account and I can't even get in because it keeps throwing me into an email code loop. The code arrives, but the website wont take it. I tried to use my password but it keeps telling me "100 Characters is too long, max is 72 characters". Like what?? I'm not creating a new password. I've had this same password for years and I've never changed it.

Fuck IGN for ruining what was, at one time, something really good for the community, developers and charity. Just look at how fucking greedy the default distribution of a donation is now

By default these greedy fucks take 6x more than the charity they're supposed to be supporting. At least 20% of the donation goes to them and you can't change it. I remember when you could adjust the distribution down to the last dollar. Sigh. Not so fucking humble now, are ya? Fucking pieces of shit

Anyway, thank you for reading my complaining

It's pretty awesome! They removed 2fa, sure, but they added the "magic code" so if anyone compromised your email they won't even need your account password!

They also won't let you remove a payment method, you'll need to add another one to overwrite the old one!

They really went overboard with the enshitification!

Edit: you can remove the payment method, but only when you cancel any subs you have.

I understood that if a game was offered DRM-free and as a Steam key, you would receive both. Looking at the store page now, it looks like you need to choose which one you want to purchase in a drop-down menu? Can anybody confirm whether they changed the functionality? That wouldn't be just a change of layout but a fundamental functionality difference. A negative one.

Fucking yikes. Not Humble-Bundle.

They did add a way to download the entire contents of a bundle in a single zip file, instead of a gazillion separate downloads.

This will make getting all my content off easier for the inevitable closure of their site.

The first Humble Bundle was so awesome

It's been owned by IGN and ZD for years. I'm surprised it has taken this long.

Oh for fucks sake.

I guess I need to go through and claim the dozens of old codes for games that weren't the reason I got the bundle. I used to use them to trade, but I haven't really bothered with that since Valve took away the ability to buy gift games as inventory items. If Humble is about to choke, though, better get what I can.

People are overrating. In fact, having no security means they don't have anything to hide and therefore no one will hack the site. Simple logic, just think about it.

I have literally been spending my free time this week tightnig up my online date. Calling up and emailing custermer supports telling them to deletw my data and accounts.

Am i hearing i have to get the codes for love ke 5 years of bundles and delete my humble account!?

Have they fixed it as I just logged in with 2fa
