Child’s Play blev oprettet i 2003 af Mike Krahulik og Jerry Holkins, folkene bag Penny Arkade. Velgørenhedsorganisationen satte rekord i 2011 ved at indsamle over 3.5 millioner dollars, der alle gik til at gøre livet bedre for børn på verdens hospitaler. Mange rushere har faktisk hjulpet Child’s indsamlingen. Måske uden at vide det. For indie-spilpakkerne Humble Bundle giver giver mulighed for at donere til netop Child’s Play. Så har du rekvireret dig en af disse ydmyge pakker i løbet af 2011, uden at du var selvisk og nærig, så må du gerne klappe dig selv lidt på skulderen. Herunder kan du læse et uddrag af pressemeddelelsen fra Child’s Play:
Let that sink in for a second. Over three and a half million dollars going to hospitals worldwide to ease the suffering of kids when they need it most. All because you, as a community, came together to make a difference. And what a difference it is.
Thank you. Thank you to the community fundraisers who invest their time and energy. To the marathoners who forgo sleep and often pride for a laugh and a donation. To supporters of us through the Humble Bundle, who chose to contribute both Child’s Play and the industry as a whole. Thank you to those who have shared our cause with friends and family, whether it be through social media, word of mouth, blog, podcast, or stream. Thank you to our corporate sponsors whose contributions show how much our industry cares. To the attendees and supporters of our Golf Tournament and our Dinner Auction. To those who sent items through Amazon, donations through Paypal, checks in the mail: thank you, thank you, thank you.


























Generelt er gamere hvis meget god til at donere. Ihvertfald fra hvad jeg har set.
Men en stor del er jo også pga at Humble indie bundle tillader at folk gør det. Det hjælper nok lidt mere end hvis man selv skulle ordne det.
Det er fedt nok at støtte gode gøremål og hjælpe andre.
