There are indeed more discounted DRM-Free games than are listed in the sale. See the following link to see them all, including many DRM-Free games that aren't discounted.

Not sure you can call over 1400 DRM-Free games an afterthought.

Every-time I go to Humble all I see are Steam logos, Epic Game Store Logos, Origin Logos, can't even remember the last time they had a game bundle that was DRM-Free, last one I saw only had 1 or 2 games DRM free but you had to get 8 games to get them. Plus I just did a search and found a number of reddit posts and forum complaints about games losing access to a DRM-free copy.

https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/nbg1ws/a_decline_in_drmfree_offerings_at_humble_bundle/

for one example

and on top of that the restrictions they have been trying to place on bundle sales to limit the amount that goes to charity.... well.

I'm not interested in the bundles, stopped looking at them ages ago, because as you say, they are virtually always a mix of DRM and DRM-Free. I'm only interested in DRM-Free, and they have quite a large collection of those available singularly, often at a comparable price with GOG for those they have in common, but sometimes cheaper as well.

They also have some DRM-Free games that GOG don't have. Don't know if they still have it available, but I bought Carnivores there last year for around $11 AUD.

A quick reminder that Humble Bundle provides a "DRM-free only" filter in their store: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/search?drm=download

Something that is still lacking from GOG store…

A lot of the games that Humble does claim as DRM free often comes up as false when placed under scrutiny, there are several games whose descriptions countermand the idea; especially the idea of being provided with a Steam key.

heh? why would that make sense for gog?
arent those drm free?
you need gog account for gog games to get them

This is very bad wording on their part, meaning that a Steam account is required for redeeming the Steam key. The DRM free installers are available as direct download and .torrent from Humble-provided servers.

I’ve been using Humble Bundle to buy a lot of games with this mention, and never owned any kind of Steam account ;)

---

Because right now we have no way to filter between the 3 DRM schemes used on GOG:
- no DRM at all
- Galaxy or another third-party required for some game features
- Galaxy or another third-party required for all game features

In that case they REALLY ought to correct that, because when I see a shteam logo and "shteam account required", I quite naturally assume that a shteam account is indeed required.

Bought some games and bundles there years and years ago, when humble bundle didn't suck arse yet, but haven't logged in for years. Some of the games didn't really work all that well either, like Limbo that kept crashing. Maybe the title should have given it away =)

those games are old enough where they dont get updates or dlc anymore so i dont think it will be an issue.

Good news for you then! They've announced that they're capping the charity slider in their bundles. It won't be possible to give the majority to charity any more, so it would seem that IGN and you feel the same way.

Then they should reword the poor wording accordingly.

What games? I mentioned tinmangames as it was something I couldn’t find elsewhere. You will likely find a lot of the drm free games on humble don’t get updates or dlc. The bioshock sold there is the old version for instance. Just general information for those thinking of buying there be it new or old games.

doesnt matter they are tainted
and they call this charity :P what a joke
but many not smart people fall for it
are you one of those?

I haven't used Humble Bundle in many years, but it's safe to say my reasons are probably quite different from yours.
