Hi guys, I noticed, that a lot of times gamers are talking about bundles, they are also talking about charity and that its not right to deal with that games and blah blah blah...

But I am wondering, do you really think all those bundles pages have that charity options, cause its managed by people with big and good hearts? If I am not wrong and maybe I am, if you want to get rid off fees for microtransactions on PayPal etc. you must have charity project. Normally, fees are very high and for every dollar, it would be like 30-40 percent loss, but under so called "charity project", they are not paying such a ridiculous prices for microtransactions. And in my opinion, this is main reason that bundle sites has this charity factor.

For example Humble Bundle is set to give 20 percent of price to charity by default (much less than common PayPal fee) + there is normal games store and if the advantage of not paying fee applies also there, its fucking good bussiness model.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Obviously is business and it also make a store look "good" like g2a, even if it's a semilegal store they try to make ppl think "we are good ppl, even if we sometimes sell not legal game keys and screw developers, but we help charity", not the case of Humble Bundle, and also it helps them grow fastly because people feel correct when they buy and money goes to help, but the thing I hate about this is tons of defenders or "supporters" of this bundles, so when someone complains or says a bundle is bad, they come to insult him or say something like "money goes to charity, you are bad person if you disagree with us and don't buy every bundle".

Edit: Like Humble Bundle, they started very good, doing very good bundles, not only AAA ones, but indies too, they were good most of them and for good prices, now because of business and lots of supporters they can make prices higher, offer less for more money, making repeats etc. and less good bundles (not talking about AAA games), because they know ppl will still buy it, is still cheap, but compared to what they did before is a quality degradation, but ppl will say in defense "man is for charity, you should not complain about it or you are a bad person", when it's obviously business, lots of companies do the same, they start very friendly and offering tons of good stuff, but once they get a big amount of supporters/customers, they can just offer less for more, and in this cases charity is not involved in any way, is just business, so HB doing the same not makes them better just because they have charity system, I never saw the founders of HB really going to this places where ppl is in need and helping them.

Also current HB is a good one, with AAA games, so ppl can be happy again, obviously there is a 20$ "average price raiser"
