1. What is Humble Bundle?
Humble Bundle is a popular digital storefront founded in 2010. It is famous and beloved by gamers for introducing the "Pay What You Want" model for purchasing collections of games, ebooks, and software.
🤝 Combining Gaming with Charity
The business model of Humble Bundle is highly unique. When purchasing a bundle, customers can choose how their purchase money is distributed: a portion goes to the game developers, another portion to charities (e.g., Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Child's Play), and a tip to the Humble Bundle platform.

Bundles are typically structured in price tiers:
Humble Bundle also offers a monthly subscription service called Humble Choice, providing a curated set of around 8 games each month for subscribers to keep forever.
