I don't know about games but some of their book bundles are still quite good, especially (on the technical side) the ones from O'Reilly, No Starch Press, and Apress.
They also have occasional Manga/Graphic novel bundles which are nice as well.
- tzs 4y agoI've almost bought some of the book bundles, but then realized that all or almost all of the books in the bundle were also on O'Reilly online learning. I've got a great deal on that [1] and the Bundle books were all books that I would not need long term and so losing access to them if I ever cancel O'Reilly was not a problem. [1] Way back when it was Safari Library they had a variety of plans. They wanted to switch to a single unlimited plan. Those of us on the cheaper limited plans were grandfathered in. To encourage us to voluntarily switch to the new plan they offered it to us for $200/year for as long as we kept our accounts active, which was 1/2 the current price for new subscribers. Now it is $500/year for new subscribers, but still $200/year for those of us who accepted their offer.
- hiyer 4y agoDoes O'Reilly learning have non O'Reilly books as well? And do you still have the coupons system that Safari did, that allowed you to download entire books? $500 is a bit high but may still be worth it for me if these are available.
