An indie game bundle aimed at helping laid off video game developers has raised over $100,000 in a matter of days.<\/p>\n
This bundle, which you can find on itch.io here<\/a>, was created to contribute funds to the Game Industry hardship fund. This fund, formed by the CWA video game union<\/a> in July, provides financial relief to North American developers who have been caught up in the years-long deluge of layoffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here’s a video made for the bundle.Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n The bundle contains 127 games which can be bought by interested gamers for a minimum of $10, though you can opt in to pay more if you are so inclined. The full sum of these games when bought outside of the bundle comes to $1,023, meaning those buying in are saving over a grand in value.<\/p>\n As of writing, 7,194 people have contributed to the fund via this indie game bundle, with the average contribution coming in at $13.96. The top contribution right now is a whopping $2,000, so kudos to whoever decided to properly bust the wallet out for a good cause.<\/p>\n This bundle will be available for a little more than 10 more days, so you’ll have to get a hustle on if you want to sweep up the hardship fund collection. There are some pretty great games included in the bundle, too: I’d like to personally shout out Skatebird, a radical skateboarding game I sunk a few evenings into a while back. Plus, A Short Hike<\/a> is a gorgeous looking exploration game that has plenty of heart to it, much like all the developers who put their works forward as part of this bundle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An indie game bundle aimed at helping laid off video game developers has raised over $100,000 in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":726906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-726905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/726906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
