I'm pretty sure it's not against the license to sell GPL'd software, but it MIGHT be against the license to charge for the source code.

The licenses also claim Issendis has complete ownership of all the games included.

Also, this seems pretty illegal in itself. It's not exactly kosher to claim ownership of something that isn't yours.

It's illegal to sell GPL'd software.

Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?
Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is part of the definition of free software. Except in one special situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one exception is the required written offer to provide source code that must accompany binary-only release.)
