"My suggestion is to read book-length journalism by top-tier journalists. Below are some examples.

"Removing Humble's tip makes some sense if you are trying to protest their policy, however removing the developers' cuts in order to discourage other devs/publishers from bundling in the future is terrible strategy unless you want nothing but terrible games in bundles. There are trade-offs. Sure, a BTA+5 increases the potential cost of the highest tier as time goes on, but it also may encourage publishers of higher quality games to bundle. Conversely if all bundles were $1 for everything, nothing but shovelware would be bundled." - Kevin Bondelli
