Didn’t want to buy anything else this year, but have always loved Dan Keen’s YouTube videos, so will likely buy to support him (and hist team)
I am completely with you on Dan Keen. He’s super talented and very creative. I pay attention to all of his releases and, like you, really enjoy his videos. He is one of the super-talented people I first learned about at Pianobook during the pandemic and have always been very impressed by him. He gave away all of his proceeds on one of his libraries to a charity back then, which made me respect him even more. Count me as a fan.

I removed the “And you can get everything they released so far”, because it’s like most developers now, not correct and does not include everything on the website released. I believe this is an organization and marketing issue. Looking more closely, there is a mix of stuff they developed and stuff they co-developed. In fairness, the page at the bottom right (scroll down) it does list what is included in wave 1. But a bit confusing and I believe a bit (probably unintentionally) deceiving.
