Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Collates deals from all over the internet
Find out about a wide range of bundles from a variety of sellers
Pro Easy check for reputability
Rather than trying sellers blind, you can see what the community has to say about both sellers and deals, as well as comments saying if you can get the same options cheaper elsewhere.
Pro Huge list of sales due to crowdsourcing
Due to the large amount of users (355k) this allows for a constant updated list of all the sales on games across the internet and box stores to be listed and updated very frequently.
Pro Support choice of charity
Users are not only giving to a charity and choosing the portion of the price they pay to a charity but they can also select from a list of charities to donate to. Thus giving some control to the consumer as to what kind of organizations they support.
Pro Pay what you want
The way Humble Bundle works is that it is donation based in that you can pay what you want for the bundle, with the minimum being a dollar. There are separate packages in each bundle that also ask for a minimum price, which depends on the "beat the average" price which is what on average has been donated so far..
Pro Supporting the Devs
Just as a user can choose how much to give to a charity out of the price given, they can also choose how much to give to the devs. So if one does not feel like supporting a charity for a certain bundle they can choose to give all of the funds to the developers.
Cons
Con Some sales may be missed
Due to the crowdsourcing some sales may not be caught by the users and posted, so is not a full proof system to catch every sale out there.
Con Limited to what games they are willing to carry
The bundles have the support of the devs to be published, which means there may be certain devs that do not want to have their games in a bundle, which limits how many games are available on their store and in their bundles.
