Does anyone know if humble bundle games still provide different options to download a game? they had options like deb file sometimes or tar, mojosetup installer,etc. Does humble bundle still provide this?

Wouldn't that depend on whether the dev/publisher provided/removed those files?

I haven't purchased anything at humble recently (most new releases on humble seem to be steam keys only), but checking a small sample (world of goo, shank, braid, darwinia) showed different downloadable options still being available in the library, so humble itself doesn't seem to restrict them.

cool thanks. yea it varies, some games still have drm free options if you see the logo on it. that means that there is more than just a steam key. I wonder if any of the more recent games have the options, maybe someone will show up here that bought in recent years.

I only own one game on HB. Skullgirls. I still have the option to download the DRM FREE offline Linux version that is superb but it's not available for new costumers.
