Excuse me? what do you mean by 'tossing it in the trash', you can still get the downloads from the bundle page, haven't seen a single thing that is not obtainable there. Reason I personally prefer things to be on the bundle page to begin with, rather than the library, is because A) at least the bundle page is paginated, and B) at least i can search by name. The library lacks either benefit. If they fixed the library with ANY ability to sort or search within and or pagination? I'd be glad if they autoa dded everything to the library.

And if you find games that lack actual downloads, you need to bring up the names here because they are supposed to have them, so they can actually fix the list an remove the ones not complying with the requirements to be in the bundle, like some games already did. (Some only offered steam keys, and some took time to fix, like the Framed collection originally didn't show me any download links, but now it does.)

the itch.io dev tos doesn't require a dev to provide anything, it also allows a dev to delete purchased games. so reporting a dev will do no good. having the product flagged as owned and in your library (even if there isn't actually a download) is still itch's responsibility though.

and "tossed in the trash" is completely accurate, 

it's not simply the nice banner saying you bought it, which also helps prevent accidental rebuying,

the key thing is leafo didn't hide the games, he removed them. yes there is a bundle page where theoretically you could click download at some point in the future if the store page still exist but it is not a true tied to your account DL link. so if a dev deletes a store page which is very common then you will never be able to claim the game. this is very important because only a handful of bad devs will delete the actual download once you've purchased, just the store page. and if it is banner up top claimed then even if the store page is deleted you can get a support email that will take you to the download, but the bundle page is based on the store pages, no store page, no download, even if a download exist for that game. this is why it is important for the product to actually be in your library as opposed to having the itch.io equivalent of an unclaimed steam key

as far as searching for something in your library it is easiest to search the store then use the owned banner at top, or use a 3rd party game library tracker like isthereanydeal.
