Numerous times I've come across bundles I pass on because I already own one or more games in a bundle. It's not big deal if the bundle is already STEEPLY discounted, but if it's a %10 off bundle and I already own a game or two it basically costs extra

An issue I've often encountered is I see a game I'm somewhat interested in but it's priced a bit more than I'm willing to take a chance on paying for, then I see it's in a bundle but it's a bundle containing like 20 games for $200, so I pass and move on. This recently happened to me, until I saw the game from the large bundle was ALSO in a separate bundle with only two games, both of which I was interested in. This second smaller bundle wasn't displayed on the first game's page, and I would not have even known about it if I hadn't taken the time to jump around the other games from the developer hosting the bundle.
I'd like to see some sort of option to either search for all bundles containing a game, or possibly just a little button below the displayed bundle on a game's page that says "Included in X additional bundles" that takes you to a page showing any other bundles it is in.
A thing I've been doing lately is backing up my favourite GoG games to DVD for placement in my physical games collection. I've only really been doing it because a fan-made website hosts many user-made DVD covers, and there are several games on Itch.io I'd love to do the same for, but I lack the skills to make display worthy labels
There should be a resource provided to game devs suggesting standardized format and layouts for providing customers with DVD, Bluray, or CD jewl case inserts and disk labels. Even if it doesn't result in every game getting labels, I'd love to have access myself to a standardized layout (possibly with suggested logos and information to be included on the cover) to at least TRY slapping it together myself
There are several users who have made many smaller games I've enjoyed, and while I've bought a few of their games I would like to add many more, but I am reluctant to spend more than a few dollars per game and I am always a little afraid of my credit card being locked for making too many small transactions. If sellers could create permanent bundles of their older or "pay what you want" games it'd make purchases musch easier to buy many of a creator's games at once for a larger lump sum.
If the ability for users to sell in any currency is what prevents Itchio from having a cart system this could be the closest alternative.
I'd like to see an option to click a checkbox on a list to have it function like a wishlist and remove games once I've purchased them.
I've got a catchall list called 'misc' that I add ALL games too that I haven't really looked at but found kind of interesting, usually games I just downloaded the free content for to look at later. It's actually gotten kind of MASSIVE, since I add anything to it that's not in my wishlist or purchased games, so an option to automate removing things would be very convenient.
