Humble Bundle Custom Allocations

I tend to favor charities, but the rest depends on particular charity and developers/publishers, If the bundle is from devs I like or indies I favor devs or split charity/devs 50-50, if it's from devs/publishers I dislike I will donate more to charities (back in days of Humble EA bundle I'd go 100% charity for example ;p)

I never knew you could choose how much of your money went where and to such drastic amounts, being a type one diabetic I've always just kept my charity a local one for type 1 diabetes and figured that was the best I could do. I guess a good amount of people just choose default and that gives the devs most of the cash and HB a little more than the charities, so I don't think it would hurt anybody if I started maxing out profits to charity

There's no sense in thinking one option would be morally better than the other though, just depends on how you look at it. If you think the devs are awesome and want to support them for bundling then go all out, if you want to support HB for making an awesome bundle happen then go all out. If you want to justify obsessive and impulsive spending habits by telling yourself you're not wasting money on games you'll never play but being a good person giving to charity, then go all out ¯\(ツ)/¯

Happy birthday!

I always slide the charity slider all the way to 0 and don't change the others.

I tend to give a little more to charities or developers based on the combination of them (sometimes I change the allocation for single charity/developer), and a little less to to Humble bundle...

But after IGN arrived, I usually set Humble tip to 0 ¯(ツ)/¯

Edit: ops, forgot this... Happy birthday! ;)

Happy birthday :o)

Do whatever you want, as long as you don't harm someone with it.

I choose, mostly, a different charity project then the standard one and i lowered the ammount for hb over the last months to show how i like there support change ("you trade a game you will get no replacement" -it don't hit me direct till now but its without discussion possibility a shit move from them...-).
When i think it is a good bundle i raise the slider for the devs, by destiny 2 and overwatch, overwatch lootboxes and such stuff i lower it. Direct response if i am happy with the bundle/monthly.
And i don't set the charity very high because i think the devs must get a good bunch of the money that good bundles are possible. Not only now, in the future too.

Happy birthday and thank you.
It sometimes depends on the bundle. For book bundles I mostly favor the 'dev', for games mostly the charity (expect if it's indie) but often i chose a different project.

Happy Birthday! :)

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, dear MaleFatAmy. :)
Thank you for your kind words, you are wonderful, too. ♥
I must admit that I'm not fiddling with the sliders. I pretty much use the presets by Humble Bundle. Maybe because I'm a customer for only about a couple of months. It may change sometimes, I dunno for sure.
I'm not entering for "Tokyo 42" since I bought Tier 1 yesterday, but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. :)
Cheers

100% charity, always. Between helping a dev who is already going to have a nice payday from the majority who leave the sliders at default settings, and literally saving the lives of starving children - pretty easy choice to my mind.

Yay for a happy birthday!

I slide so that the charity has the bigger share and devs and humble have about equal.

That said... I haven't bought many bundles since IGN happened. Not sure if things will change with my sliders.

I give most to the charity, almost equal to the devs (but a bit less) and few to the Humble Tip.
Also I chose which devs I want to give more to, for instance if there is a game from a big company alongside indie devs, I'll probably leave 5 cents to the big company and give a lot to the indies

I tend to give most to the charity, then a little bit less to the devs (if the game is an indie, maybe a little bit more to them)
Sometimes I rush to the payment and forget to split the money because I'm a Good Person

I haven't bought a bundle from them in almost a year but I used to split it 50/50 between a charity of my choice and the devs (unless the devs are shitty, then it all goes to charity). Years ago before I could choose the charity that I wanted I used to do a tiny bit to HB and the rest of the devs, but with the shit they have been pulling in the last time I don't think I will ever give them anything anymore if it miraculously happens that I buy something from them again.

Happy birthday! :)

First of all, I hate the current method of setting allocations. Used to be you could type any numbers, Humble would sum them, and if you wanted to get to a specific value, you needed to make sure of that yourself. Now you set the total in advance, and then work for minutes on end to get somewhere that's close to the correct division you want.

That's especially bad when there are lot of devs, and I want money to go to those in the tier I backed, not to everyone. It's almost impossible to set a value to 0. Once you move another slider, these zeros become a few cents. You move them back, something else changes. You have to really be dedicated if you want to divide the money the way you envisioned. In cases like this I usually make do with an approximation of what I wanted.

It's driving me mad.

Anyway, regarding the original question, I usually give 90% to the devs, 9% to charity and 1% to Humble. Dev split depends on what games were in the tier and how much they were the cause of me buying the bundle.

I fully favor charities I like. Mostly Tor Project, because they are globally so neglected and what they do is fundamental to the future of freedom

Happy Birthday to you~

With the majority voting for charity in the poll no wonder we don't get as many bundles as before. Damn IGN! Developers, those people who do all the hard work for your entertainment, need to make a living too.
I think the default sliders are well balanced and everyone gets a fair share.

I usually give most to devs and charity and less for humble tip.
Also happy birthday to you. :)

I don't always remember to do that, but usually when I buy one of the lower tiers, I change the split so none of my money goes to the devs of the games I'm not getting (ones from higher tiers).
