One of my favorite bundle sites.  I hope this doesn't affect the quality of the bundles.

The company, and have been replaced by the former chief product officer of free-to-play games developer Kixeye.

Jeffrey Rosen, chief executive, and John Graham, chief operating officer, founded Humble Bundle in 2010 and have led the company ever since. They will remain in advisory roles until the end of the year, and potentially "a long way past that". 

Sounds promising and seems to be very successful for them

Former CEO Rosen added: "We're not leaving. We'll still be here—more as advisors—all the way until the end of the year, and hopefully a long way past that. But we're more startup kinda guys, and Humble Bundle has become huge. For our benefit and for Humble Bundle's benefit, I think Alan is going to do a really good job."

WTF Happen!! 

So many people said "IGN = BAD" when the buyout was announced but I wasn't convinced because Humble Bundle didn't change at all since IGN acquired it.

However, HOLY SH*T this move is not a good sign at all! and it looks like IGN was playing the "Long Game" and making changes over a long period of time (Over a year) and these two Heads of HB saw the "upcoming changes" which IGN probably already outline to the HB team (in private) and they pretty much said "F**K This Sh**t! I'm Out"

Any explanation they give will of course be positive, regardless of their personal feelings.
