I haven't seen any posts on this here, and there's only 14 hours left to get the bundle. But if you're into indie games, this bundle has some amazing Indie classics along with a whole lot of other interesting and not so interesting games, for $5.

It is a responsible donation. Developers made their works available, and the donations will be split 50/50 between NAACP the Community Bail Fund (CBF). I don't entirely agree with the CBF because it may be applied to those who have 'undermined' the BLM movement. At least this money will be applied where needed. Unlike Rockstar which disabled their servers and then tell their community to donate to eligible charities than to make a donation themselves or to use that 2-hour window to apply all digital purchases as a donation to an eligible charity.

Do note that the bundle only applies to downloads on Itch.io. Itch.io is also an independent call, all these developers chipped their own works in respectively.

People who don't see any cause to support BLM should avoid participating in this donation.

It's a pretty momentous event this, their initial goal I think was to collect $50k, they are fast approaching $8 million in the 9 days that it's been live. When it went live there was around 700 titles, and it's grown by an additional 1000 games since.

I've marked around 80 games so far there that I want to have a look at, and I'm not even half-way through the list.

Plot twist: It's white monopoly trying to distract people with playing games and not looting stores or rioting.

Pro move.

For those who are charitable to wants to support NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Race Forward, and The Bail Project (another bail fund).

So... On this note, I see there are many bail funds, and I am curious if this money is appropriately directed. According to the media bail funds alone have received over $90 million. I would have thought it best to centralise the bail funds. for auditing reasons... just asking.

To think yourself virtuous for supporting bail to individuals that burn down other people's livelihood. The world got weird real fast.
