itch.io

afaik this game was never even part of the original bundle (and as such the price hasn't changed). As for the content of said bundle, half of the projects in it are unfinished or don't have any substantial content, so buy individual products if you see something you like, or just avoid the bundle in it's entirety.

NS2 is included in that bundle to bring awareness to it when people come across the bundle itself from elsewhere, but I agree it seems counter-intuitive to advertise it from a free product page - Itch posts that automatically. Any free product in that bundle does NOT increase the overall price of the bundle.

Yep, it's pretty scammy. Just got it for TVS anyways, but if i can get something nice along with it, why not... or so i thought. At least HypnolabVR compensates massively.
But still, horrible business practice, by this one author in particular.
