Indie Developer Game Sale Benefits Charity

December 7, 2009

Wadjet Eye Games is running a holiday promotion that offers 50% off of select titles in its online store and will see the independent developer donate a portion of sales to charity.

The Wadjet Eye game The Shivah is included in the sale, as are third-party titles such as The Adventures of Fatman, Super Jazz Man and Downfall. The Get-Well Gamers Foundation, a California-based charity that specializes in providing videogame systems to children’s hospitals around the country, will be the recipient of the donation.

Gamers interested in the sale will need to use the promotional code “HOLIDAY” at checkout. As an added bonus, everyone who purchases a game on the Wadjet Eye website during the holidays will be granted participation in a beta for the upcoming puzzle adventure game Puzzle Bots.

This is such a nice story. This reminds me of me donating to the USO & especially at Christmas time.

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm
