Game developers, studios, and publishers are coming together to support Ukraine. Whether it's John Romero creating a DOOM II level to raise money for the Ukrainian Red Cross, the team behind This War of Mine donating all proceeds of sales to Ukraine, or the swaths of companies removing their products from sale in Russia, a lot has been happening within the industry. The latest gaming-related support comes from Itch.io, who is no stranger to charity bundles, having previously raised money for racial injustice and Palestine. The Bundle for Ukraine collects nearly 1,000 works over 700 different creators, with all money raised by purchases of the bundle to go directly to Ukrainian charities--specifically International Medical Corps, who is providing medical aid to those affected, and Voices of Children, a charity that helps Ukrainian children have safe shelters to be, and help them handle PTSD.

The bundle costs $10, and contains games like CrossCode, SkateBIRD, SUPERHOT, Celeste, TowerFall Ascension, and hundreds of other indie games. Right now, Itch.io has raised $1.7 million out of a $2 million goal, with 9 days left to go. If you want to support the cause, or just pick up a ton of DRM-free games for cheap, you can check out the bundle at the source below.

Best purchase ever made: got plenty of good games and interesting other goodies and donated to a good cause. I call out to everyone reading this to join the cause, you won't regret it.

StateBIRD

[Stealphie]

this thread's also going to go well, isn't it

 

[KingVamp]

Living under a rock, ik, but Idk itch.io was even a thing.

 

[XDel]

When have you ever seen the whole world stand against a war like this? You'd think these people were all angels among us, from John Romero to the top where the heads of Corporations and State reside, though I doubt any of the people on the bottom suspect the insidious reasons behind it all.

Isn't it sad that we have spent the last decade fighting for a false war (again) with the Americans over "potential" nuclear weapons of mass destruction.

And here we have fucking Putin, no one darea challenge him.

Ohh lets give him a slap here or there and sanction this or that and force professionals out of there career........

Putin doesn't give a fuck, he is sat on the motherland of nuclear power and as we all know human rights dont qualify when it comes to warlords selling weapons, ammunition, ammo, body armour, ration kits, tanks and the list goes on.

The "U.N" claim its here to protect people, america claims it fights for peoples rights or should we say, if there is something that interests them.

Good timing tho how troops are withdrawn just shortly after this shit starts.

Putin is no different than Hitler seeking to wipe for no reason.

I am from Britain and I would fight to defend Ukraine, our government are a bunch of over paid pussy cockroaches and they know putin could wipe majority of the uk out if he wanted to launch a nuke.

And how no one saw the possibility of this tyrant doing this, we waste time setting Iraq up with false news and media when the never had the weapons

I feel for both sides, obviously the Ukraine folks, but the Russian soldiers who are forced by their country to fight this war.

If only enough people could rebel against their government and take over, but this is a guy who has made sure people don't get the right to vote him out.

He is anothet fucking Hitler scum cunt and should stop hiding behind a desk and fight his war full on like a man and not a fucking pussy.

He is a worthless pile of shit coward.

Maybe 10 games I have a passing interest in, lot of things I have zero and I already own super hexagon.

Might consider a minimum.

 

[fvig2001]

Lots of nice titles for just $10 minimum. Wonder if itch.io would last though since it's more of an indie store.

 

[MarkDarkness]

I'd rather support the charities directly, as I have been doing. Not a fan of itch's style in the least.

 

[Valwinz]

not a single worthwhile game

Il support the Red cross directly instead

 

[Jayro]

Damn, I already offer my homebrew for free... Unless you want a physical copy.

 

[Kioku]

Not sure how I feel about this. It's a great effort, but they might as well just ask for $10 for Ukraine and not include that many things. Scrolled through it, and there's really nothing there I want or don't already own. OOOOOOF

 

[Stealphie]

Superhot, Celeste, TowerFall, sure, this isn't full of games i'm very interested in but saying it has no worthwhile games in it sounds pretty silly to me.

Best 10,000 rubles I every spent

Well lets collaborate this thing you ve just wrote , usa did a number of wars in middle east and people died , hell they tend to toss their allies when they are not usefull anymore pakistan afganistan comes to mind and yet you call these wars not enough collateral . Propaganda is a usufull thing for people that tend to see only black and white. For me both usa and russia are two sides of same coin . As henry kissinger once said ukrain needs to stay neutral not with russia nor with nato and european union and i tend to agree with his point of view, but it seems what initiated this war was that politicians got greedy....

 

[ZeroFX]

So they're finally raising for a thing that kinda worth giving money to. Though idk about these charities in specific, never heard about.

 

[Glyptofane]

Better off saving your money for $15/gallon gas.

 

[hippy dave]

This looks incredible tbh, and can't argue with the sentiment. Might have to wait until after the weekend, but will be getting this.
I didn't even manage to scroll all the way through the list before I accidentally clicked on something and lost my place, but saw at least like a dozen games I know to be great, and many that sounded potentially interesting. Nothing to lose here.

Be glad you’re not from the UK then.
