Do You…

Like a Bargain? – Like giving to a good cause? Well, now’s your chance…

Computer gaming has, from the days of Band Aid – in the form of Soft Aid – often provided a means for people to give to charities while buying a game they want to play. I can think of several indie games that actually donate a small amount from each sale to a charity. One common beneficiary is War Child, but the WWF and Red Cross / Red Crescent and Medicins Sans Frontiers also come to mind. There is a computer games online vendor called Humble where you can support charities by purchasing certain games.

The disaster of the Australian Bush Fires has captured attention worldwide – the scale of the devastation is beyond belief. The Humble store has put together a special pack for Australia Fire Relief. You get access keys on Steam for 29 games. One of those is Euro Truck Simulator 2 along with the Australian Paint Jobs DLC… Here’s my Scania wearing a fetching Aboriginal Art paint scheme from that pack…There are some other highly acclaimed games in the pack – Machinarium, Hollow Knight, Armello and Void Bastards (pardon my language) – so you’re really getting a bargain! It’s available for another 3 days. Please consider buying a pack 🙂
