Brett writes - "Alright, so the Humble Indie Bundle is in full swing with it being the holidays and all. Probably one of the best causes out there. You’ve got tons of awesome indie developers coming together to raise some money for charity with help through Child’s Play, which gives kids in hospitals all over the world a wicked sweet Christmas. You can choose how to split your money between giving it to the developers and to charities. As gamers and New Englanders, I think community and charity is a huge part of our region. So all I’m asking of all you gamers is to help out."
It has been a year of broken records for Desert Bus for Hope, the week-long marathon to raise money for the Child’s Play charity by playing the most boring video game ever created.
One Gamer Fund, an initiative committed to supporting AbleGamers, Child’s Play, Games for Change, Global Game Jam, IGDA Foundation, Stack-Up and Take This, is for the third year in a row offering an annual Steam sale and, for the first time, holding a 24-hour livestream benefiting seven of the most significant video game charities.
Giving Tuesday is the national day of charity that takes place after the Thanksgiving weekend. Here are several charities gamers could support on Giving Tuesday.
