For those that are curious: When you buy the bundle, 740+ games will not flood your library. You can pick what items you want from your purchase receipt page to be put in your library at any time.
I know it can be frustrating having your library flooded, so I hope this helps!
We reached out to our community and an unprecedented number of creators donated over 740 projects to be part of what we believe is the largest bundle ever.

's minimum purchase price from 50 cents to 1 dollar. Here's why:
50 cent purchase nets the creator ~18 cents after payment processor fee is applied
1 dollar purchase nets ~77 cents (not great, but significantly better)
I still recommend pricing > $1

A notice if you aren't aware: If anyone ever sends you a zip file for a game with a password, it's likely malware. Scammers encrypt their zip files with passwords so file hosts can't run malware scans on the contents.

Here's the moral of the story:
Some Unity library is injecting a script tag into your game's HTML5 export page that looks legit but actually has layers of obfuscated code to let third-party inject any code they want into your game's page when it launches.
Got a report of a dev seeing phishing/malware "Update Chrome" showing in place of their HTML5 game. Took a closer look and found some suspicious obfuscated JS code in their game. Anyone want to take a crack at it?
