We created this bundle to raise funds for Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota in response to the Trump administration sending ICE agents to the Minneapolis area and the reckless murder of an innocent people by ICE agents. ILCM provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in Minnesota and North Dakota. They also work to educate the community about immigration matters and advocates for public policies which respect the universal human rights of immigrants. ILCM provides services based on capacity and has a generally high demand for services. The more we are able to fundraise, the more people they will be able to assist.

I remember thinking Humble Bundles would come with a lot of games, but I forgot how big these Itch.io bundles can be for things like this. I thought I'd look at a few of the things included and then kept scrolling and scrolling and looked over and saw there were 1,439 items included.
For people who purchase bundles of this size, how do you approach looking through or sorting them for things you might be interested in?

I’ve bought enough of these mega charity bundles (among other random itch.io purchases) that I treat my itch library more like a literal “library” than I do a curated collection. There’s SO much in there that I don’t even try to have a handle on everything. Instead, it’s fun to just browse/sift through it and pull out something that’s new to me and looks interesting.
Excited about that Linux release, except I'm still just stuck on all the Steam games I never played (not to mention the other itch.io and whatnot). Then again, I believe all my itch.io purchase...

Then again, I believe all my itch.io purchase are to support the cause, and not really for the games.

Behold, the Bundle Browser of Randombundlegame.com! As far as I recall it started after the Racial Inequality bundle (I think the first charity mega bundle, maybe?), and typically updates with new charity mega bundles. I assume this one will be added in the near future.
Also, I think these massive charity bundles can gain more games as the days go on? I could swear at least one had some new additions during the timespan as more developers submitted to it. Not sure if that's standard or not.

A heads up to anyone who bought this (or any of the other mega itch.io bundles):
itch.io doesn't auto add the games to your library so as not to flood it. To add a game to your library, you have to access the game's download page, after which it will show up.
Unfortunately, this means that if you want everything in the bundle to show up in your library, you have to go one-by-one through all the items, which is super tedious.
And for the love of all that is a holy/clean email inbox, go to itch before you do this and turn off emails in the itch preferences. Otherwise you will add yourself to every single...
And for the love of all that is a holy/clean email inbox, go to itch before you do this and turn off emails in the itch preferences. Otherwise you will add yourself to every single game's/developer's itch email list for updates on their other games.
Yup! Someone will coordinate the bundle (in this case it was jesthehuman who has coordinated other charity bundles in the past). Devs can include their work if they want. The norm for bundles like...
Yup! Someone will coordinate the bundle (in this case it was jesthehuman who has coordinated other charity bundles in the past). Devs can include their work if they want.
The norm for bundles like this is for a whole lot of devs/creators to jump on as a show of support, and also because they know the value proposition of something like this isn’t so much about any particular titles but instead about the sheer volume of things. The more items in the bundle = the higher likelihood of generating money for the cause.

The site has now been updated to include this bundle.

Alternately, you can automate it by using this userscript with Tampermonkey.

I recognize some game which I know are "name your own price", I.e. free. But I assume anyone can make a bundle with anything with permission?
