Humble Bundle is best-known for its pay-what-you-want bundles, but has now launched something a little less fleeting: the Humble Store. The permanent storefront will sell games for Android as well as PC, Mac, and Linux. It all kicks off with a sale on nine games, including Don't Starve, Gunpoint, and Rogue Legacy.

The Humble Store will sell some games DRM-free in true Humble fashion, some as Steam keys, and others as both. Unusually for a digital distributor, Humble has stated how big a cut developers get: 75%. Another 10% is split between charities including the American Red Cross, Child's Play, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Humble's celebrating the launch with daily sales, starting with these games, which all offer Steam keys and some of which come DRM-free too:

• Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - $6.25 (75% off)

• Don't Starve - $7.49 (50% off)

• Euro Truck Simulator 2 - $6.25 (75% off)

• Gunpoint - $4.99 (50% off)

• Natural Selection 2 - $6.25 (75% off)

• Orcs Must Die 2! Complete - $6.25 (75% off)

• Prison Architect - $14.99 (50% off)

• Rogue Legacy - $7.49 (50% off)

• The Swapper - $4.99 (66% off)

This isn't Humble's first steps outside bundles. The Humble Store has for some time offered a sales and distribution backend for indies to sell their own games through their own sites.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
