Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Humble Bundle is a highly established platform with massive real-world impact, evidenced by over $240M raised for charity and a significant market position in game distribution. While the submission text itself was brief and lacked detailed metrics ('most people have used my product'), the verifiable public data regarding the entity's reach, revenue (estimated $100M+), and team size (350) clearly places it in the top tier of established technology projects. The score reflects high utility and traction, slightly penalized for the low-effort quality of the specific submission text.

Description
Humble's mission is to be a force for good in the game industry and in the world. That mission began in 2010 with the launch of Humble Bundle’s first game bundle for charity—and since then, our efforts have grown to include regular bundles of games, books, and software supporting great charity causes; an online storefront; Humble Choice, our monthly gaming membership service; Humble Games, a publisher dedicated to supporting developers and delivering top-quality games to people around the world, and much more. Together with our community, we have raised $240 million for charity and counting.
