Humble Bundle (YC W11) is going truly multiplatform

by Y Combinator10/14/2014

The Humble Bundles offer a variety of interesting games at low prices, with the idea that selling in volume will make up for the lower per-game price.

So far they’ve been correct, with the bundles raising large amounts of money for both the developers involved in the bundle and a rotating selection of charities. Players are also offered a bonus if they pay over the average price, and that bonus usually includes more games or soundtracks.

The latest bundle offers something different, however. The games have been ported to a platform-agnostic Humble wrapper that will allow you to play each of the games inside your browser, no matter if you’re using a Linux, Mac or Windows-based system. This is a new frontier for Humble, and they’re excited about what it means for the future.
