I think that's not really fair, only a few bundles a year are actually labeled "Humble Indie Bundle", and those do usually fit the bill and check all three boxes.

There were 13 Humble Indie Bundles since 2010 and 94 other types of bundles (not counting the Weekly Bundles). And those other types often include audiobooks, ebooks, comics etc. that one could claim are at least indie, or some indie games sprinkled in with the AAA titles.

There was also extremely commercial stuff such as the 2K bundles, but hey, it's always labeled as such.

I think this feeling is due to evolution. Humble Bundle started as Humble Indie Bundle, only later it turned into a brand.

It's kind of similar as with GOG, on which games are neither exclusively Good nor Old anymore ;).

As long as GOG keeps it DRM free, they will remain the only distributor that gets any more of my money, aside from direct, DRM-free sales by creators. Steam destroyed all rationalization I was using to be ok with DRM by locking my account for 3 weeks shortly after I opened an account.

I still don't really trust GOG after the whole "we're shutting down, too bad" PR stunt several years ago, but it's true they're a reliable distributor of DRM-free games which you can simply download and keep forever.

What happend with that PR stunt?

> not counting the weekly bundles

I think this was where it went downhill for me. That’s 107 bundles, plus 200 odd weekly bundles. They’re not special any more, and especially now that the bundles aren’t pay what you want, they’re pay above the average, which is higher because they hide some items behind a minimum price. It’s lost it’s allure to me, and most of my friends too.

Completely agreed.

There really isn't any confusion on the website about any of that. And the book and audiobook bundles have been fantastic, too.
