Hi Jack. Thanks for your report. That section represents the new repository that was added to your software sources when you purchased the (free) app Vendetta Online. This item is actually displayed there on purpose and is by design. In Software Center, any new software source that you add (PPA, purchased item) will always be displayed as its own item underneath the Get Software item.
If you would like to remove that item, you would first need to uninstall Vendetta Online, and then remove/disable the corresponding software source from your system. If that is agreeable, here are the steps to do it:
1. Open Software Center, select the Vendetta Online item and in the list select "Vendetta Online".
2. Click the "Remove" button to uninstall.
3. Once it has completed the uninstall, in Software Center choose menu item "Edit > Software Sources...".
2. In the Software Sources dialog that is displayed, choose the "Other Sources" tab
3. Locate the entry that corresponds to Vendetta Online and uncheck the checkbox to disable it.
4. Close the dialog and wait a moment while Software Center updates its database.
5. The Vendetta Online item should be removed.
I hope this helps. Please post here if you have any questions, etc. Thanks!
