So, is it being vibe-coded by non-developers, then?
Or at least shitty developers. This is crazy.

I deleted my account right after that - no 2fa, I could change my email and the verification code was sent to the new email, change my password without any confirmation...
We're mourning the death of ashes at this point.
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
For context: Humble Bundle was acquired by IGN in 2017 and the founders are no longer involved.
And IGN is ultimately owned by Ziff Davis.
You're saying thats a real guy and not a Saturday morning cartoon character?
Its a Corporation
You would hope with all the fucking AI slop code being deployed that TESTING and QA would be having a Renaissance.
You would HOPE.
But AI has solved coding, why would you need to test something that you know will just work?
Big brains let AI do the TESTING and QA as well.
The penny pincher companies that think they can replace a 80k / year dev with AI are DEFINITELY not doing any testing, my friend...
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?
Humble was sold to IGN in 2017. Just to accurate set expectations.
Oh, is that why there haven't been good bundles in nearly 10 years?
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.^___^
I think it was once about charity, but it is just another game platform now.
Enshittification strikes again.
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.
I'm not sure that the paging even works correctly. I have one game that shows on every page for the first 12 pages.
the library has a subsection for bundles, and opening a bundle shows which keys are redeemed or not. But yea, not really as usable as it was before. I guess 5 rows at a time fits nicely on phone screen, but... is that really the use case here?
The bundles page also doesn't show Humble Choice bundles though, so those keys are buried somewhere in the neverending list. I have to click past 9 pages just to get past the latest bundle I bought (Mapmaking Bundle).
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.
yep, my account didn't ask for 2fa when logging in.
Bold move to remove security features without notifying users.
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.
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.
The unsubscribe link on the email 404s now too, grand
Hey free GDPR fine!

Lol. From their systems. Not their 'partners and associates'. Nobody actually deletes stuff, do they?
After they "deleted all my data" they sent me a follow up email, referring to me by name and requesting feedback on the support I received.
Would be tempting, but I don't want to lose access to my unredeemed keys and DRM-free items. Not that I can even find those anymore, with the redesign being as shit as it is...
remove your payment options, especially if you have connected PayPal, I removed it directly from PayPal because at this point I cannot even trust them to delete them correctly...
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.
^ excepting the reports in this thread stating that it is broken, too.
On the bright side, it only made me confirm cancelling Humble Choice once, instead of the usual 4 times or whatever.
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
The first Humble Bundle was so awesome
All of the numbered ones were amazing, they felt like events whenever they popped up too
A week ago I asked for my account to be deleted. I was getting tired of Humble Choice, I couldn't find anything for good deals on their market and I was awfully tired of IGN shoving their shit down everyone's throats since they own Humble Bundle.
Plus a lot of the content they pick, are caught between garbage nobody asked for, content people would want are in upper tiers on purpose or content that made no sense to have been bundled with anyways.
They have been handling Humble Choice awfully for a while now, because they pick a lot of games that were only rated 'Mostly Positive' or just 'Positive' that nobody ever heard of nor care about.
It's always funny over in the HB subreddit how people shit on those not liking the bundles but are always "happy" to get the games or so. Yeah because you're a digital game hoarder, of course you'd take it anyways.
It's pretty awesome! They removed 2fa, sure, but they added the "magic code" so if anyone compromised your email they won't even need your account password!
~~They also won't let you remove a payment method, you'll need to add another one to overwrite the old one!~~
They really went overboard with the enshitification!
Edit: you can remove the payment method, but only when you cancel any subs you have.
Oh for fucks sake.
