This is a cool initiative. Do you have the latest books on machine learning also a part of the $5 sale? Or is it only the old book titles?

Looks like all of the eBooks and videos are at slashed price. I went on looking for the new title: Machine Learning for Algo trading - https://www.packtpub.com/product/machine-learning-for-algori... and it's part of the sale.

WOW! Everything at a flat $5. The right time to upgrade the skills.

This sounds really interesting, I think I found the motivation to start learning game development. Are all the books for $5 here https://www.packtpub.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=game%20deve... and which would be the right book to start with?

Personally, I don't go for gamedev tech books, as they date quickly. Perhaps pick up something a bit more timeless on game design, e.g. MIT's Playful Thinking series [1] or some of the other classics in the field, like "Game Feel" [2], "Rules of Play" [3], etc.
