"The growth speaks for itself," Graham said, calling back to statements he made to us at the time of the Ziff Davis acquisition. In 2018 alone, it donated $25 million, building toward a lifetime total of $146 million. The altruistic streak that runs through the core of Humble Bundle is part of the appeal for Patmore, who claims to have, "always viewed Humble Bundle as a force for good in this industry." Since the acquisition by IGN parent company Ziff Davis in October 2017 - a deal that some feared would erode the charitable giving in the company's very foundation - Humble has been even more active in giving to charity. For our benefit and for Humble Bundle's benefit, I think Alan is going to do a really good job" "We're more startup kinda guys, and Humble Bundle has become huge. For me, it's a perfect fit - I get to flex my muscles on both sides." "In addition, my experience with traditional development and publishing lends itself well to the publishing side of the business. "There are a lot of similarities in terms of process, development, economics, and even ethos. "My experience with free-to-play and social gaming is actually pretty applicable to a digital storefront like Humble," said Patmore, who will take the role of executive vice president and general manager at the company. With Humble Bundle now an established publisher, as well as a distribution platform with a wide variety of business models, Patmore's track record is a better fit than it might appear at first. Recently, he was chief product officer at Kixeye, before that he was studio general manager at Zynga, and before that he was vice president of product development at Double Fine. While Patmore hasn't managed a digital storefront specifically, his experience in the industry is broad and undeniably impressive. For our benefit and for Humble Bundle's benefit, I think Alan is going to do a really good job." But we're more startup kinda guys, and Humble Bundle has become huge. We'll still be here - more as advisors - all the way until the end of the year, and hopefully a long way past that.

"The business is doing amazingly well 2018 was our best year, and 2019 is off to our best start ever. "It's been ten years, and after doing this for a while I'm in a place where I think it's time for me to take a break," Graham said, speaking to. However, it is also the start of a new era, with seasoned video game executive Alan Patmore taking charge of Humble Bundle's "day-to-day operations" with immediate effect. It marks the end of an era for the digital storefront, with both Rosen and Graham having led the company for a decade. Humble Bundle co-founders Jeffrey Rosen and John Graham have stepped down from their roles as CEO and COO of the company, can reveal.
