Template:Infobox

The Humble Store is a digital distribution solution from the team behind the Humble Indie Bundle. There is no official store website currently, but many games can still be purchased via widgets.

Development

Jeffrey Rosen from the Humble team has said that "The Humble Store is something we are working on" and that "[Humble] don't really have anything to announce at the moment. It is a super easy way to buy games... When we open it up to more developers, we will let people know." One developer has said that the Humble Store is more than just a widget, stating that "it’s still in some sort of a developing phase so who knows what the future holds".[1]

Purchasing

Games can be purchased via the developer's website (eg. VVVVVV) or by going to http://www.humblebundle.com/store/product/GAMENAME (eg. http://www.humblebundle.com/store/product/gish).

Content included with a purchase depends on a per game basis. For example Gish only includes a direct download for the game, whereas Legend of Grimrock contains a Steam key also and Retro City Rampage pre-order contains the direct download, redeamble key, mini-soundtrack, printable NES label, digital maual and a 20% coupon for their store.

Games

The list of games that use the store is uncertain, though many can be found by searching for "site:http://www.humblebundle.com/store/" in Google. However, according to Jeffrey Rosen all games in previous Humble Bundles had store pages created for them so that they could see what a widget would be like.[2] This means that some are intended to be private and not used by general consumers.
