Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Numerous bundles available at one time
The is a wide selection of bundles available at once, making for a good selection of genres or themes for each bundle. This way you are not limited to one selection of games that might not appeal.
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 Groupees takes money from customers, but does not pay the developers for their keys
Many times, developers have provided Groupees with keys and then not been paid at all. Several times, they have not been paid in full. Any unused keys that were provided to Groupees are not returned to the developers (while most other sites return unused keys).
Con Bad support
Support will ignore you if the keys they provide do not work.
Con Many mediocre games
A lot of the games available in the bundles are unheard of or of poor quality.
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.
