No, humble bundle isn't run by them anymore. They haven't been run by the wolfire guys since 2017. If I'm wrong and they are then I'm probably not buying anything from humble again.

You're right and I'm wrong. I guess I'm out of touch - what did the Wolfire guys do since then that makes you dislike them?

Suing valve. Like, valve is the only company I'm okay with having the amount of marketshare they currently have. I'm legit worried that if they go too hard on the lawsuit, it could result in the monkey's paw curling ("I wish valve didn't have so much marketshare" "granted: steam has been spun off into its own company. Without steam, valve goes under and "steamcorp's" new management goes public")

monkey’s paw

nailed it, I completely agree in this one instance.

They're heathens, obviously.

I think there was some cross-pollination for a couple years beyond that. Sounds like they sold Humble off to be its own thing, but the Wolfire guys were still running it until 2019 (see Wikipedia quote below). Either way, they've got out of Humble well before they filed this suit.

Rosen and Graham, the founders of Humble Bundle [and the CEO and COO, respectively, of Wolfire Games], announced in March 2019 that they have stepped down as CEO and COO of the company, respectively, with Alan Patmore taking over the company operations.
