Every second day of October Ada Lovelace Day is celebrated - to commemorate the famous English mathematician of the XIX century, and the first programmer in the world. To mark this occasion, we rounded up a party of games that are not only fun to play, but can teach you to think like a true engineer and feel like a tech wizard! Welcome to Programmer's Sale. Hello, world!
I still hear about them and buy from them, but I buy a lot less because:
They were bought by IGN, so they’re a for profit group now
Changed Choice to offer major AAAs more often instead of being focused on indies
They set slider for minimum percent to Humble in bundles to 15% (I used to give about 20-30% to Humble, now I do 15% as a form of minor protest)
Bundles often come with coupons for the store instead of just being bundles of games, and the $1 tier is either complete trash or non-existent
And so on. Basically, they’ve gotten more corporate, so they’re less unique vs the competition. In fact, I’ve picked up more bundles from Fanatical than Humble in the last couple years because I no longer feel a preference for Humble, and now just go where the deals are.
I’m guessing some or all of that is why the sources you follow don’t mention it as much. It’s still very much a thing though.
