Humble Bundle re-branded it's publishing label for indie devs as Humble Games

Open

Humble recently changed their logo with a new one on their official steam group. Here - https://steamcommunity.com/groups/HumbleBundleOfficial

looks like new rebranding to Humble Publishing - https://www.humblegames.com/

Note- it's not the main bundle website but solely for developers

I bet like 90% of the negative comments are people who have no clue that it's for the publishing arm, not Humble Bundle itself.
Also, I guarantee most people who find out after the fact will double down and pretend they knew it.
Also, out of those people, pretty much everyone's not even aware of what it looked like before, while commenting that it's worse now.

So many big brains here, it's amazing. These comments are close to becoming as dumb as I am. It's like looking at Facebook now. (Which ironically is being bashed by the same big brains).

Look, point being, can we start taking around 3 seconds before we make our last judgements? The design doesn't look great, however. But it also isn't Humble Bundle and it didn't look much better previously.

Also, to the OP, change the title to show it's their publishing arm, not the entire company.

Don't worry about it. Who knows what'll happen to Humble Bundle or Humble itself in the near future. But at the moment it's Humble's publishing arm.

It's the others who kinda went overboard with just guessing randomly and pretending it's because of IGN, which has literally 0 input to the company since it's a magazine owned by J2 Global

Yup, pretty much. Sister companies don't influence each other with executive or day-to-day decisions. If anything, they just might collaborate.

As an aspiring indie developer, I am intrigued. why all though negativity though? HB is a huge part of why my steam library is... well... so huge! Judging by the giveaways in this site, I'd assume the same is true for most of us here

Is it just me, or did they delete all comments about their new logo?

I only see yours at the moment, there were 4 or 5 when I checked yesterday, good guess is that they've deleted them.
