That’s a good-looking starting line-up they’ve there. They’re looking for more, of course. Most of those games have been in development for a while and some have even crowdfunded before, so I guess Humble are helping them over the line.

Humble started with The Humble Indie Bundle organised by Wolfire Games in 2010, and have grown a whole lot since spinning off into a separate company. They’ve has launched over a hundred bundles with everything from games to comics, opened the Humble Store in 2013, started the Humble Monthly Bundle subscription service in 2015, and in 2016 started dabbling in funding games with small, exclusive ‘Humble Original’ games for Humble Monthly. Heck, Keyboard Sports started as a Humble Original itself.

“All of our games will be ‘presented by Humble Bundle,’ carrying a seal of quality and curation that fans have come to expect,” Humble publishing lead John Polson said in this week’s announcement. “For each aspect of publishing, developers can choose the services they need, making Humble Bundle a truly modern and adaptable publisher.”

Humble Bundle follows suit a new trend as Indiegala also is to become publisher.

I'm glad humble is expanding, they always had decent offers on their site and tons of great cheap bundles while helping great causes at the same time. It's basically the site where i started to know about $1 bundles.

Now that they have started publishing games, it could mean that upcoming devs with potential could receive the proper funding they needed.

I'm looking forward for the current and any future games humble might publish.
