Support Game Developers with Over 100 Games for Just $10!

The gaming world has been hit hard lately, with layoffs shaking up the industry. Notably, Microsoft recently let go of 3,200 employees and closed multiple studios, but this trend isn’t new. In response, the United Videogame Workers union, in collaboration with Necrosoft Games, has rolled out a fantastic initiative known as the Game Industry Hardship Fund bundle on Itch.io. For just $10 (approx. Rs 2,780), you can snag over 100 games!

All proceeds from this bundle will go towards a fund designed to help game developers affected by layoffs. They can apply for assistance to cover essentials like food, healthcare, and rent. It’s a noble cause, although it’s worth mentioning that the fund is currently only available to developers based in the US and Canada.

This Itch.io bundle is primarily indie-focused, showcasing a unique selection of games. Among the offerings, you’ll find some recognizable titles such as A Short Hike, Skatebird, and Drywall Eating Simulator. However, the real excitement lies in exploring lesser-known gems like Diorama Dungeoncrawl and the intriguingly named Dirtbag Majhong!

With over 100 games for just a tenner, you’re bound to discover at least one hidden treasure. And if you feel generous, you can always contribute more than $10 (approx. Rs 2,780) to further support those out-of-work developers.

A big shoutout to all the gamers rallying behind this cause by promoting the bundle! Your support is vital, and it truly makes a difference in fostering positive change in the gaming industry we all adore. Let’s keep the spirit alive! 💪

As of now, the Game Industry Hardship bundle has already raised nearly $30,000, and it will be available for purchase until August 14. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to grab some cool games while making a positive impact!
