Lose yourself in the visionary fiction of Cory Doctorow, the celebrated author and digital rights activist known for his masterful explorations of the intersection of tech and society. And help support the Electronic Frontier Foundation with your purchase.
Wow, Humble has really gone downhill after being acquired. Make sure you change the default split, they’ve made it harder to find! There’s an “Adjust Donation” button where you can choose to put more of your money to charity, rather than Humble and the book publisher.
By default, they’re only giving the EFF ninety cents of your $18 purchase. That’s insulting. And they still have the gall to put up a “leaderboard” for people that paid extra, but probably only 5% of their money went to charity if they didn’t think to change the split. What assholes.
They really pissed me off with their Terry Prachet bundle a few months ago. Only in the small text did it state the books had kobo DRM. I’ve been buying bundles for a decade and never had to worry about DRM before so I didn’t even think to look for it.
Wowwww that’s especially insulting considering that everything from Humble used to be DRM-free. I have HUNDREDS of games in my Humble library from the golden years. But most of their stuff doesn’t interest me nowadays.
Thank you for pointing this out!
Wtf. Thanks for highlighting this.
There’s also a minimum amount that goes to Humble itself, and they manipulate the scale to make it look like it’s less. E.g. at 25€ the minimum that goes to Humble is 7.50€, but it looks like ~4€ compared to the publisher and charity bars.
Ooooh you’re right! Those fuckers
