The HN title is not helpful. I recommend instead:

"Itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality -- Buy 1,427 items for $5 (regularly ~$7,890)"

Agreed, but I think this is too long for HN.

There's an 'official' highlights list[1] and a community built spreadsheet[2] with details including type, platforms, genres and more.

I bought this bundle on the weekend when it was "only" ~750 items. There is more digital content included than a normal person could consume in a lifetime. A couple of game recommendations: Super Hexagon, Minit, Night in the Woods, A Short Hike, Oxenfree, Dr Langeskov...., Quadrilateral Cowboy.

Nuclear Throne, Sky Rogue, They Bleed Pixels

Somewhat ridiculous question:

Having bought the 750 for $5, do you get the rest of the 1427 now?

Ridiculous because even buying the bundle a few times at $5 is a deal

FTA: “Update: The bundle has been a huge success so far and many more developers have submitted their projects. We've added a new round of games & more. All previous and future buyers get instant access. There are now 1,000 projects included.”

This bundle is wonderful, but I'm finding that the majority of these games won't play on OS X Catalina due to lack of 32-bit support.

e.g., Non working: A short Hike, Quadrilateral Cowboy, nuclear throne, mu cartographer

Can anyone recommend some Linux games from the bundle? I started Oxenfree earlier today and it's been really cool so far. I've also played A Short Hike and Celeste previously and they're really great.

It's really confusing what this is: "Buy 1,427 items for $5 Regularly –$7,890 (itch.io)"

I thought this was going to be about someone's bot that randomly buys $5 items from Amazon, or similar.

It's not clear that this is a $5 bundle of games. Even when I visited the site it took me a long time to realize that it was a bundle of games.

I thought it was going to be an article pointing out all the questionable bundles of electronic media I see shilled on various content sites (Ex. "Start your career in coding with this 10 book coding bundle, normally $300, but for only $25 for a limited time!")

Huge amount of stuff in here and the low entry price makes it a very good decision. I wish there was a way to filter by platform in the big bundle list though.

Tons of great games here. Super Hexagon alone is worth $5.

I was hoping this was a shipping container.

I don't understand why this was flagged. It's for a good cause and a great deal, which might interest a lot of the HN crowd.

Looks like it got rescued, and I'm glad.

So itch.io is using the current racial protests in the USA for a marketing stunt.

Well done, now I know what itch.io is...
