Almost like ign literally ruined it and the original company should never have sold since everyone hated the changes they made

[MtnNerd]

Bet some horrible investment firm is involved

All that money IGN spent to acquire Humble seems to have gone right back to their pockets.

Private equity companies have been buying out gaming studios for a while now, this is why there have been so many utterly ass games and so many developers fired and many quality studios closed.

Idk if this is a leak or not but im an employee of a game company humble was managing.

We're now being handled by the Powell group... An agricultural development conglomerate 🤷 its been a weird couple months

FPS games considered "too violent" while hosting the ESports Olympics IN SAUDI ARABIA is such an unbelievable irony. I guess money does buy everything, specially integrity and morals.

Frick, I was worried Humble Bundles are getting out of business and I have to scramble and save any bundle I bought until servers shut down.

I love that the heckler in every video is credited as the "side kick" this show is honestly one of the most fun to look forward to because it'll never take itself too seriously

6:49 I'd like to make a note that while FOLON is out now and it does work on both the Steam and GOG versions of Fallout 4 GOTY Edition, the installer is only obtainable through GOG, unlike what Riley seems to imply being available from both stores.

Humble games trying to stay humble by saying a "studio shutdown" is actually just a "restructure".
Additionally on the note of olympic e-sports. Didnt they already start doing that last year? (held in Singapore) I remember there being info about fortnite and about 5 other games that no one really cares about, that were in there.

I missed Riley, can’t wait for the Tim Cook impression

Pre patch bugs in WoW are a tale as old as time. Most memories I have as a child were from exploiting them for personal gain. Glad to know today's youth have the same opportunities we had.

That explains why there were no Humble freebies in July for subscribers. Really sad to see it go when I only recently discovered it 😢

Edit: Just last night July 25th they finally added freebies at the last min. Ghostrunner 2 and Plague Tale 1 among some others. August better be lit.

[RafaelScarpa]

The first Olympic eSports? They're expecting us to forget the one in Singapore???

[cinderwolf]

"look at how much we already do for child safety" sounds like we're being talked down to by a narcissistic parent

[rachmanfachri]

Excluding Dota because it's too violent but including LoL instead is like excluding broadsword only to include machete

Humble will say nothing more until the third party consultant has finished googling how to make AI text undetectable as AI.

[notbfg]

Do parents even bother to tell kids to not go off with the creepy man in the unmarked van? Free candy turned into free robux I guess.

[RILDIGITAL]

It's always tough to see hardworking teams affected this way. Hope the affected employees find new opportunities soon.

[apabmb]

They terrk err jerrbs!

It makes me so happy that this SP reference is still being memefied 20 years on in this year of our lord 2024.

Also, too violent? My guys, you literally have at least one olympic sport wherein two people punch each other in the face until one of them loses consciousness.
