Humble Bundle has jumped in to help Ukraine now too, with a pretty amazing bundle full of games and 100% goes to charity. Launched late last night, it's already hit over $3 million.
The violent and unlawful invasion in Ukraine is taking a tragic toll—displacing people, devastating families, and creating an urgent need for food, water, supplies, shelter, and safety. To help out how we can, we’ve joined forces with game creators, book publishers, and software makers around the globe for a bundle 100% dedicated to supporting the victims and refugees from Ukraine during this crisis.
100% of the proceeds will go to Razom for Ukraine, International Rescue Committee, International Medical Corps, and Direct Relief. Support vital humanitarian crisis relief efforts for the people of Ukraine today.

Quoting: jrtRemember when you could give 100% to charity on every bundle? :D
Remember when "pay what you want" meant "minimum 1$" not "minimum 30$" ?

They really are a shell of their former self at this point. Even with this big of a bundle and for 100% charity, it's just... mediocre for what they're asking.
Quoting: fenglengshunKinda wanted to donate at first, then I saw that starting amount is $40 and it has less everything in terms of quantity and things that interest me compared to itch's, which I've already paid for. Much as I want to donate, I'll have to skip - that minimal amount is too much for me and even if I earmarked next month's discretionary spending, I can't really justify it with that kind of contents (mainly because itch's was just much better).

1, it's for charity, and 2, even if the games are worse, many would prefer steam keys.
I get my Steam Deck on Monday, so the steam keys are worth far more than any other PC key or even DRM-free download.
Interesting.
Quoting: TuxeeSo we have a bundle dedicated to charity and the "discussion" starts with bashing Humble Bundle and people feeling compelled to tell, why they are not donating.
Interesting.
There are other ways to donate, so being critical about Humble Bundle doesn't mean not donating at all. itch.io ended their bundle yesterday, but as always, charities accept also direct donations if you actually want to donate instead of essentially buying games (Humble Bundle being the party that is actually donating).

Interesting.
Slay the Spire: quite influential rogue lite card game
Drawful 2: If you have friends, try this one out (great thing is that phones are used as controllers, so non gamers can also play)
Superhot: The time moves only when you move shooter. If you have ever wanted to be in action movie, try this one out.
Broken Age: This one is quite enjoyable adventure game.
System Shock: I have only played the original. It's basically sci-fi FPS RPG from time when good conventions where still in bit of a flux. The enhanced edition in the bundle should fix lot of the issues.
Hexologic: Enjoyable puzzle game. Even more so if you're not totally allergic to math.

Quoting: toorIt's a full charity bundle, completely different to normal bundles and they've always done this for them. Otherwise, people will just pay the $1 to get a bunch of Steam keys to resell.Quoting: jrtRemember when you could give 100% to charity on every bundle? :D
