Perhaps the biggest bundle in video game history, Itch.io’s Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality now includes more than 1400 games, almost twice as many since launch on June 5th.
As a digital platform for independent developers, Itch.io has made its voice heard by allowing indie developers support the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the Community Bail Fund.
Unlike most well-known game developers that have shown their support for Black Lives Matter with donations ranging from $100,000 to $250,000+, the community of indie developers at Itch.io has surpassed its original goal of $100,000. So far, Itch.io and indie developers have raised $3.5 million, with a new goal of $5 million.
Early buyers will have access to the increasing library of games under this bundle.
Perhaps the only company with a similar goal in mind is Niantic, the Pokémon Go developer that has committed a minimum of $5 million, among other goals to benefit the Black community. Niantic’s big donation will go with one half for Black AR and game developers and the other half for non-profit organizations.
