I see these bundles but I always assume they are trash.

Are they trash? I haven't been interested until now, but I've been meaning to learn a bit of game dev as a hobby and unity isn't really an option anymore.

I did buy one of those Zenva bundles some time ago for Godot - seems to have very similar content to this one. It's alright. Target audience are beginners but I suspect that we'll get a lot more beginner tutorials on YT anyways.

That's always the conflict here, the free content on YouTube is just frequently so good. I guess I'll just take a look for godot stuff right now and then decide.

I much prefer written guides for anything that interests me over YouTube videos that are unnecessarily long. Plus the false attempts to get engagement (sometimes by making statements that are maliciously stupid) to appease the algorithm like:

What are your preferred ways to consume content? I prefer carrier pigeon, it’s easily the best. Let me know in the comments below if you have a preferred way, and don’t forget to like and subscribe.

Really annoying, like our sponsor….

I had assumed these guides were in video form. If they're written guides I might actually be more interested since I prefer that too

Depends if you're interested in them or not. I bought the NisiOisiN (Monogatari series) bundle a few years ago and got my value out of it. Too bad the Metadata wasn't in the same format on all of them and I had to edit it afterwards.
