One page of the partner section now redirects to impact.com, so it looks like they're moving to an external provider for it (like GOG and Fanatical do). Problem is: Humble haven't said a word to partners on this, and they still owe payments directly for last month and whatever was accrued so far this month. Oh, and my impact account I seem to have from years ago was disabled at some point, so I'm currently trying to get them to unlock it.
This is a big problem, because it was quite a high percentage of GamingOnLinux funding.
So once again, I'm asking for your direct support: https://www.patreon.com/liamdawe
Honestly, if Humble really has entirely removed it and moved it elsewhere, a lot of the partner links from an external service will likely be blocked by plugins often like they are for GOG links, so even if I can get impact to unlock my account, it's going to be a big hit on overall finances.
Happy Friday, I guess.
Hopefully they pay out for the most recent referrals, and fix it. Not much I can do or say other than simply hope it gets sorted.
Sorry to hear it though, that sucks.
Though, I guess for now try to remain optimistic. It might get sorted, maybe contact them or something. If not.. well. It's decision time.

If it is server costs theres probably some stuff that can make that can make that cheaper like using things like cloud flare pages or other static content hosting but that'd require a good chunk of work and thinking about how the interactive stuff of the site like comments and forum.
I've done some pretty cool things with cloud flare pages and their workers but it does take a architecture shift.

- Write about Linux and Linux games all day. Goes home to play on windows to find a break from all that linux.
Just kidding!
Joking aside, hope that you get his stuff sorted.
My Impact account seems disabled, so I can't do anything until Impact unlock it.
So basically any Humble Bundle purchases using our current (old) link after October 1st do nothing. I've removed it from the Support Us page.

What with cost of living increases, a smallish raise doesn't seem unfair.
I actually reduced the starter Supporter level from $5 to $4 years ago too. So it seems like a sane idea. I've "unpublished" the current Supporter tier (just hides it) and put up a new Supporter tier at $5.50. For comparison, Phoronix monthly is $6.
It's only a $1.50 increase, but my hope is people still go for it (either new or some move over to it), and maybe it will get a few to instead pick the Plus option that's $7.
It does complicate things a bit though on the Patreon linker, but I'll keep that checking at $4+ for now for the badges and eventually see if I can actually get it to pick up the tiers rather than price paid by people.
