I agree!

I dislike the way that itch forces all buyers to add (large) bundle items individually.

As a buyer, I should be the one who decides if I want to "flood my library with purchased games".

I had this same problem with the bundle for Racial Equality awhile back, and the way staff was so dismissive of even considering the " add all" option was why I've never spent any more money here since then.

Staff, if folks can write userscripts to claim all items then surely one of your coders could make this an option for your customers!

I second that; we should be the ones to decide for ourselves if we wish to "flood [our] library with purchased games".

I use Playnite to organise all of my games from multiple services, including itchio. It allows me to easily keep track of which games I own, which one's i've played, etc. It's difficult to do that adequately when itchio makes it so difficult to even claim the games in the first place.

Whether or not it’s easy to write a script to click the button is besides the point. We have to consider the technical and user experience implications if we were to provide this as functionality. We weighed the options and it is not something we are going to provide. You’re welcome to run a script on your account at your own risk. I left a longer post up at the top of this thread explaining in more detail.

Well, had I known this, I would never have paid for the good cause. This is simply a very bad user experience and yet another reason why I will never  ever again spend another dime on this immature gaming platform.

Now i'm not a fan of this either, but the way you put it, 1. not supporting people in need and 2.because you don't like the interface/UI? Well, buuhuu? Cry me a river?

You didn't contribute anything positive with that comment. If you don't like it, don't support it. simple!
