Cheap video games for a good cause

[sholio]

I'm sure some of you have seen this link floating around already, but in case you haven't and this is something you'd be interested in: itch.io's Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. For a donation of $5 or higher, you get 1000+ games. Details and list of games at the link. So far they've raised over $5 million. The campaign runs for three more days.

If you just want to donate to the causes they're supporting without getting the games:
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund
Community bail funds at ActBlue
More info and other ways to help at BLM

Additional info from comments: here is a twitter guide to the games in the bundle! The bundle also includes more than just video games; there are party games and traditional RPGs as well.

I saw that bundle and got it; such an awesome deal and such a great cause.

I've seen it linked in a bunch of places and I thought people here would like to know about it!

[bemused_writer]

Oh, totally! Always good to spread the word. ^^

[sholio]

Oh, I just realized that I should add that I didn't mean to sound scolding or rude with my previous comment! I had originally had a longer comment that was something along the lines of "it's not really my thing but I was hoping people would be interested" and deleted out the "not really my thing" parts, and what was left sounds a bit dismissive, I now realize. It wasn't meant to be. <3

It's all good! I was more worried I might have come across with the wrong tone in my original reply. ^^" Internet communication can be hard sometimes. XD

Got this right at the beginning and now they keep giving me new games.

It's not just video games either, there's a lot of ttrpgs, including solo choose-your-own-adventure type games and quick party games--so even people who don't play a lot of video games can probably find something for them in there.

Nice, thank you for the info; will edit that in!

I found this twitter thread helpful - it has a short review of each game and a screengrab:
the beak friend guide to the bundle for racial justice

(There's so many games, it's a lot to take in.)

Thanks for that! A friend got me this for my birthday and I'm... not actually really much of a gamer, but it was sweet of her, so I'm trying to go through and see if there's anything I'd like. And there's a LOT.

I’m also not much of a gamer but I have friends who are, and they convinced me to get it and I can assure you there will be something interesting for you (I’ve already found a handful of cool stuff myself)

[sholio]

Ooh, thank you! I'll edit a link in.
