And maybe ten of them will actually play any of the games.

Oh yeah I saw the list and am pretty sure I'm not even installing any of them, but claiming the bundle in solidarity

Did the same. Not sure, just by looking at the icon/thumbnail, that any of it was made for me. But am still proud to have them added to my account!

Apparently some of them are very good in their own right, telling a compelling and interesting story and not just being horny cash-grabs so I'm tempted to give them a shot.
I played the original Yu-No because of how it is the foundation upon which all modern visual novel games are built. That was a difficult experience and I do not recommend it to anyone not already very interested in the history of the genre, there is a lot of content there that is not for me.
But that was the game that made the industry say "oh shit, these things can be good, too".

Side-note: the modern rerelease of Yu-No has the more objectionable stuff stripped out, but then we've got to have the censorship discussion all over again.

Anyway. My point is this: I have also overlooked these games but might have to rethink that.
