With war raging in Eastern Europe, two charity game bundles have raised over $16 million for Ukrainian charities
Itch.io has raised over $6 million while Humble Bundle has thus far raised over $10 million. With several days left of the Humble charity/bundle drive, raised funds could reach over $12 million.
The first Itch.io bundle to go live was created by Necrosoft Games. This bundle included nearly 1,000 games in its package. The estimated value of the package was $6,500, with gamers able to get them all for $10.
The bundle had an original goal of raising $100,000 but that goal was quickly surpassed after just 24 hours of being live. By the time the bundle deal closed, it had raised $6,370,557, or 63 times more money than planned.
Humble Bundle launched a charity bundle with 123 games and has, as of Monday afternoon, raised over $10,789,292.
This bundle, consisting of some very popular games, is valued at $2,572 and costs just $40. This bundle and drive will close this weekend.
All the proceeds of the Itch.io bundle will go supporting The International Medical Corps and Voices of Children.
All the proceeds of the Humble Bundle drive will go to Razom for Ukraine, International Medical Corps, International Rescue Committee and Direct Relief.
