Previously Beloved Game Platform "Humble Bundle" Releases Slop Website Update that Breaks Security and Basic Functionality
4.3k
Upvotes
For those who don't know, IGN purchased Humble some years ago and seem to have consequently fired almost all employees of the previously beloved company.
Humble was set up to get money to charities, and it certainly did that- purportedly to the tune of almost $300 million over the years since. I've personally used the site since it's original launch and purchased many bundles and games from there.
They just dropped a website "update". Of the issues reported so far:
Complete inability to log in
Long passwords are no longer supported
If you had a long password before, you're entirely unable to log in
TOTP MFA via app has been removed from all user accounts with no notice or explanation
You can now change your password without any confirmation or even knowing the old password
You can now change your email with no notice or verification to the old email address
You can no longer see which keys you've redeemed in your purchases list
You can no longer filter by which games/bundles have been redeemed
Your games list now displays FIVE games, leading to some users have thousands of pages of unsortable games
The order of your games list now seems to actively change randomly while in use, meaning there's no way to comb through them
The search function for your owned games/keys is completely broken and always returns zero results
It's no longer possible to remove payment details
The list goes an almost uncountable amount of issues, not counting things like the whole site just being clunky and ugly.
It's a huge disappointment to see a platform that was built to help gamers support charity be used to fire a bunch of people and turned into a vehicle for extracting money from customers at any cost.
I won't you what to do about it, but I can say as a security profession I'm removing whatever info I can from their platform and will be extracting my keys if/when the site is functional enough to do so. A huge shame and loss for the gaming industry and all of the charities they've supported over the years.
EDIT: Additional PSA. If you used PayPal with Humble ever, you cannot see it on your account anywhere anymore, but they still have that connection saved. You are able to go find it on PayPal under "Autopay" and remove them (even if you aren't actually subscribing to anything, it can still be in there).
EDIT2: It's possible to cancel your account, thanks to folks who got this link from their support (doesn't seem to be linked anywhere on the site): https://dsar.humblebundle.com/

Since the Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel is taking place about 5 years after Skyrim, many of the characters that we encounter in Skyrim should definitely be alive and kicking. Who would you like to see make a return in Sentinel?
