The Humble Heroines Bundle is an absolutely fantastic deal, with some great compatibility across Steam Deck and Linux Desktop with Proton. Here's what to expect from it. As I usually do, I'll go over each title individually and list the rating for Steam Deck, along with ProtonDB rating for Desktop users to save you some clicking around.

Here's what's included:

Control Ultimate Edition

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified
  • ProtonDB Platinum

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified
  • ProtonDB Platinum

Praey for the Gods

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified
  • ProtonDB Gold

Batora: Lost Haven

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified
  • ProtonDB Platinum

Syberia: The World Before

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Playable
  • ProtonDB Platinum

Sable

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified
  • ProtonDB Gold

Dreamscaper

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified
  • ProtonDB Gold

Call of the Sea

  • steam deck verified Steam Deck Verified

See the full bundle here.

If I didn't already own Control and Hellblade, I would absolutely buy this bundle. What a awesome deal.

Quoting: stormtuxI have some questions about how this stores work:
How buying bundles on stores like HumbleBundle or Fanatical is supporting Linux?
This one I can answer:
Haven't you noticed that the bundle link is an affiliate link?
Go to the checkout and have a look at the "charity" settings and you will see, that you support gamingonlinux quite literally. ;-)
(and with a decent share that is...)

but you can also customize those settings, i.e. nothing for charity and all to GOL or everything to the publisher and nothing for the rest of them... only the humble store has a minimum share they get

Nice bundle. The first two games are so unique they are almost classics in their own right.

Just purchased the bundle, though already owned Control and Hellblade. Particularly excited to try Sable.

Side note, not sure if anyone is aware but if using the link Liam gives you, when adjusting where your money goes, an extra option is given to choose how much of your purchase goes to GamingOnLinux.

Yeah, they took away the "per-game" sliders, but there's still a nice amount of customisation possible. Here's what the default £20 looks like.

So now you can bung Liam even more if you're so inclined!

If the theme is female protagonists, it's a shame they didn't have Ion Fury in this bundle. Such a great game, and the best thing ever made on the Build engine.

Someone has to pay the traffic caused by all those Steam keys

Quoting: stormtuxinstalling and playing a game in steam from Linux will raise the sales statistics the developers/publishers have access to? Are we sure "activated games" are handled the same way as "bought games"?

Yes. The platform that gets the most playtime during the refund period (two weeks) is the platform that counts for the sales statistics, unless there isn't any which means that it's the platform it was purchased on, unless that isn't available information (because it's Android or just a key) in which case it's left undefined.

Quotewill Valve get a percent of the cost of the keys in the bundle? You know, bandwidth, infrastructure etc.

No. Keys are given to developers for free, and Valve just eats the infrastructure costs. The only restriction (other than total number of keys) is that "you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time."

Thanks for all the answers!

I forgot about the affiliate link. It is incredible it is possible to zero the donation to the publisher and give all to the affiliate partner but it works!
When I tried the first time it wasn't working but the cause was the Firefox add-on ClearURLs that was doing its work removing the tracking parts in the link. If someone uses a similar addon keep in mind that to be able to donate to GamingOnLinux you need to disable temporarily the add-on.

You can donate to GaminOnLinux even on the books bundles!

Quoting: peta77Or you want the games, pay "sales prices" for them and support some charity organizations with a bundle!

Because that's what these are about. If you're just looking for the cheapest prices, you're not the targeted audience.

Whilst I understand the point being made, some of us are on a very limited household budget through no choice of our own. Freebies keep the gaming going whilst times are difficult.
