Incidents
Alteration of terms of service (2024)
- Main article: Humble Bundle alters terms of sale
In December 2024, Humble Bundle updated its Terms of Service, introducing a 3 year expiration date for all unclaimed game keys. They retroactively applied this policy to past purchases, removing non-redeemed keys bought 3 or more years prior from accounts. No form of reimbursement has been discussed at the time of writing.
Forced arbitration in privacy policy
- Main article: Forced arbitration
The Humble Bumble privacy policy[1] states that:
Under certain conditions, a binding arbitration option may be available to you in order to address complaints not resolved by any other means.
Closure of Mac and Linux support (2022)
In mid-January 2022, Humble Bundle announced that they were switching launchers, and with it, an exclusive shift to Windows-exclusivity.[2] By February 1, 2022, both Linux and Mac users lost the capability to reinstall the software that they had paid for through Humble Trove and Humble Games Collection.
