Game Devs Step In To Lend A Helping Hand Through The Games For Gaza Bundle
In an industry currently riddled with constant layoffs – with organizations striking deals worth millions and billions, yet letting go of employees by thousands, it’s absolutely refreshing to see the game developers and designers (not any of the AAA organizations themselves) lending a hand to mitigate the ongoing crisis.
Few of the indie game development companies, such as Work for Indies as well as Innersloth are doing their part, contributing to the management of the current Israel-Palestine conflict. These groups have contributed to a number of charities aimed at providing aid to Palestine, such as the World Food Program as well as the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
