itch.io’s Racial Justice & Equality Bundle lets you support a great cause while scoring the indie equivalent of an overpowered, actually-good Action 52.
You get over seven hundred and forty games, and the proceeds get split between the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, a legal organization that is at the forefront in the battle for racial justice, and the Community Bail Fund, which helps provide funds for bail and activist organizations. Given the events occurring at the Black Lives Matter protests throughout the US and across the globe, the protestors and wrongfully accused people need help in the battle to see POC treated fairly and no longer having to live in fear from police brutality and cruelty.
And among those games? Night in the Woods. Babysitter Bloodbath. Oxenfree. A Mortician’s Tale. This is an unheard-of value, if that’s your concern, here. Have you ever had someone offer you a lifetime’s worth of games – really good, award-winning indie games that will definitely enrich your life – for the price of a cheap cheeseburger combo? This is a vital, life changing cause for many people, and the riches you’re being offered are beyond compare. I don’t know how you cannot take part in this.
Well, I guess I can think of one reason. But if you’re falling into that camp, you may want to examine your life and morals. Just saying. Black Lives Matter, kids.
The Racial Justice & Equality Bundle is available for $5 (although you can and SHOULD pay more for it) on itch.io. And if you’re feeling SUPER generous, our pals at Siliconera have a list of some other fine charities you can donate to.
It’s up to 1509 games now, and still growing. This is an incredible value for your money. And probably a good cause too.
