I can't even remove my payment option. In Firefox, i cant click the top right menu to get into my settings because the whole menu jumps to the left of the screen when i want to select a menu item (and moving the mouse away lets it jump back, like one of those old joke programs that create a window that dodges your attempts to close it). By random chance i actually hit that one frame i had to get into my settings, and i only see that my payment option is PayPal, with no according settings or a remove button, and only an option to add a new payment option.

WTF.

I really hope this has consequences for the asshats who pushed to release this bullshit.

Edit: just sent them a message. I do not have high hopes, but i have to try and i hope others do too.

I'll give you a few days to revert this abomination, before i hit you with a GDPR request for every bit of information you chucklefucks have saved about me as a hardcopy in size 36 Comic Sans because of my bad eyesight - and if i receive it and you still run this piece of vibecoded shit on your website, i'll just throw it in the next dumpster, along with my very long running membership.

    FWIW, you can remove their authorization on the Paypal side of things. Paypal settings > Payments tab > Automatic payments, look for Humble and there should be a cancel button next to the "active" status.

    I have absolutely zero faith in this new Humble's security so it's something I'd recommend canceling on the payment method side regardless. Even if they do vibecode in a remove payment method button there's a good chance it's just gonna set a deleted=true on the DB record and do nothing else.

    What a fucking shit show. I just tried logging into my account and I can't even get in because it keeps throwing me into an email code loop. The code arrives, but the website wont take it. I tried to use my password but it keeps telling me "100 Characters is too long, max is 72 characters". Like what?? I'm not creating a new password. I've had this same password for years and I've never changed it.

    Fuck IGN for ruining what was, at one time, something really good for the community, developers and charity. Just look at how fucking greedy the default distribution of a donation is now

    By default these greedy fucks take 6x more than the charity they're supposed to be supporting. At least 20% of the donation goes to them and you can't change it. I remember when you could adjust the distribution down to the last dollar. Sigh. Not so fucking humble now, are ya? Fucking pieces of shit

    Anyway, thank you for reading my complaining

    Honestly fuck the guys who sold it off, too. They knew they were flushing the site down the toilet and took the payout anyway. Make it a coop or something if you actually give a shit about the project beyond enriching yourself.

    What the fuck is Humble doing?

    You'd think that a service that prides itself on supporting charities, and calls itself 'humble', should naturally be more reasonable.

    Nope. With every month it's becoming clearer and clearer it was never about charities. Just money.

    Looks like I'll be deleting my account as soon as I get to my PC.

    Update: There's no option to delete your account on the new website. There's also no mention of deleting an account on the Humble Support page. Guess they expected people will be doing it.

    Update 2: You can submit a request to have your account deleted on the Submit a request page. Select 'Humble Bundle Account', and then 'Delete Account'.

    Once you submit the request, you'll get an email verification, because Humble needs to "verify that you are the owner of this email address".

    Currently I can login to my account and change the password with no verification, despite previously having 2FA enabled. But as soon as I want to delete it, a verification becomes necessary. Interesting, isn't it?

    There's a special deletion portal support asks you to use:

    Thank you for reaching out to us in regards to your account deletion and data removal request.

    In this particular case, we ask that you please submit a Data Subject Request at our DSAR Privacy Portal: https://dsar.humblebundle.com/

    This will ensure proper processing and tracking of your request. A request using this form will result in the deletion of your account and all data associated with it in our system.

    If we delete all of your personal data, it will remove your email address and personal information from your order history.^___^

    You would hope with all the fucking AI slop code being deployed that TESTING and QA would be having a Renaissance.

    You would HOPE.

    The penny pincher companies that think they can replace a 80k / year dev with AI are DEFINITELY not doing any testing, my friend...

    I just went and had a look and it's even worse than I expected. No 2FA and the login process is: asks for username > have to click the thing to confirm you're not a robot > do you want to use your password or some other bullshit? > click the thing to confirm you're not a robot > enter password > click the thing to confirm you're not a robot. So twice as annoying as having to use 2FA without any security benefit. Some menus and items in the menus just straight up don't work. It doesn't even look nicer at all. And they're currently selling a book bundle about AI Cybersecurity lol.

    I don't share many of the same criticisms of HumbleBundle as most, and have been a happy subscriber for a long time.

    But wow this shit is unacceptable. Straight up removed 2FA without any notification, allow passwords changes without any security. Insane. I will be cancelling my subscription for the first time in over a decade, this is truly inexcusable security fuck up.

    For context: Humble Bundle was acquired by IGN in 2017 and the founders are no longer involved.

    They did add a way to download the entire contents of a bundle in a single zip file, instead of a gazillion separate downloads.

    This will make getting all my content off easier for the inevitable closure of their site.

    Just cancelled my membership as well. As others have noted already, they've gone waaaay downhill since the IGN purchase last decade. I would normally just skip a month as sometimes they'd have one or two games I had fleeting interest in. I am beyond sick of vibe/slop coded crap and I wish I could snap my fingers to erase it all.

    It's downright unusable. Had to pass multiple Cloudflare captchas to log in, but no 2-factor. The library only shows 5 items at a time now, so it's 500 pages long for me, which I can't even sort to only show unredeemed items. Order history just shows order numbers and I have to click on each item to see what I actually ordered. UI elements are randomly strewn about, with no coherent design. WTF Humble.

    somebody forgot to prompt it with "no errors"... /s

    but fr: the only good part about humble bundle in the last couple of years has been the flood of cheap keys on the aftermarket

    yep, my account didn't ask for 2fa when logging in.

    Bold move to remove security features without notifying users.

    On the bright side, it only made me confirm cancelling Humble Choice once, instead of the usual 4 times or whatever.

    I guess I need to go through and claim the dozens of old codes for games that weren't the reason I got the bundle. I used to use them to trade, but I haven't really bothered with that since Valve took away the ability to buy gift games as inventory items. If Humble is about to choke, though, better get what I can.
