Humble has donated more than $250 million to charity since its launch

For more than a decade now, Humble has offered a new way to purchase PC games, letting you acquire ‘bundles’ of related titles for heavily discounted prices – with a portion of the proceedings going to different charities. Since its founding in 2010, the company has raised an impressive amount for charity – having now officially hit $250 million in donations.

Announcing this milestone on their blog, the team at Humble said: “We want to kick off 2024 with a sincere and heartfelt thank you. This year, we are proud (and humbled!) to announce a remarkable milestone: together we have raised over $250 million for charity! That’s a quarter of a billion dollars!”

Alongside this milestone, the team also shared their stats from 2023, revealing that last year the company raised over $14.4 million across 7,500 different charities – helping to provide nearly 5 million meals; planting almost half a million trees; and offsetting more than 68 million pounds of CO2 emissions – to name some of its positive effects.

While certainly an impressive and celebration-worthy moment, it is worth noting that Humble has over time reduced the maximum amount of money going to charities, with customers no longer being able to donate 100% of the proceedings. Still, $250 million is a massive amount of money.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
