American video game and entertainment media company IGN Entertainment announced the acquisition of Humble Bundle, an online digital distribution platform.

Founded in 2011, Humble Bundle is a digital storefront for video games and ebooks that contributes parts of its revenue to charities. The company puts together bundles of games and books that can be purchased at a chosen price the customer thinks is fair. Then customers can choose whether their money should go to the game developer or book publisher, a charity, or Humble Bundle itself. The company also offers the digital storefront the Humble Store, which features individual games at set prices with frequent discounts and a portion of sales also going to select charities.

The startup had previously raised $4.48 million.
