itch.io

Thanks for the info y'all. You are correct the emails come from an itch.io email address but are clearly from the creators. Seems maybe dropping all permissions for email will stop them. That said, I was hoping for a way to opt out of creator emails WITHOUT having to unsub every single email from Itch.io. I don't mind getting some updates from the platform. Sounds like there might not be a way to stop the creator emails without stopping all itch emails then?

So I bought the racial justice pack months ago as my first foray into itch.io, and after claiming a lot of those games, I've started receiving a lot of emails from those content creators directly, for the most part I'm not interested in receiving those emails, I'm pretty restrictive about what email I get. I didn't see anywhere where I opted into giving my contact info / permission to contact me to the creators as opposed to itch.io, nor can I seem to find how to disable the feature. So I guess I have a couple questions and some feedback.

Q1: Is there a way for me to mass "unsubscribe" from the creators who currently can contact me without having to get emails from them individually and then individually click the unsubscribe link in each email? The communications options I can see in my profile only talk about itch.io directly and don't seem to be related to the emails I'm getting from creators.

Q2: Is there a way to default to NOT giving my contact info / permission to contact me to creators I buy from in the future and only selectively give permission to contact me to those I want?

Feedback: It's entirely possible I missed it somewhere, but it doesn't seem very clear that making a purchase gives the devs permission to email you directly. On other platforms you must manually opt in (steam via 'following' and epic via a default unchecked check box at checkout giving permission to contact you). I Think it would REALLY be helpful if such a feature were added, assuming it doesn't already exist and I just missed it. 

Yeah, I don't get what people aren't getting. Anything not "in your library" doesn't appear in the desktop client. Which is why it is so baffling they haven't provided proper support to get it all in there. Until it goes in your library, it's like you didn't buy it as far as any integrations and clients are concerned. 

FYI, in that same reddit there is a tampermonkey script that will go through the bundle and add everything to your account for you. The first version did it instantly and submitted hundreds of requests a second, which was problematic so itch asked people not to do that. There's an updated version that waits 2 seconds between each request, so it takes forever but gets you the functionality itch should've provided themselves without DDOSing itch's services. You just have to leave a tab open in the background cause it will literally take a couple days to do it for you at 2 seconds per request lol.

So I just looked today on the bundle... Still no add all button and now the blurb about fixing that problem has been removed... so I guess we just aren't getting one? 

Came here looking for this... Any updates? I purchased and would really like to be able to open up the desktop client and install my games without having to first go click them on the website individually. I don't mean to seem rude, as I know this was a large bundle that supported a great cause for a low entry cost, but this is a terrible user experience. I was totally fine with the idea that this hadn't been considered at the time of the bundle but we are coming up on six weeks later. Not very agile.
