Itch.io, one of the most important platforms for independent games, also organizes social responsibility campaigns from time to time, as you know. Like the “Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality” package they launched last year for charity, they came up with the “Indie Bundle for Palestinian Aid” package.
All proceeds from this package, which contained more than 1,000 games and sold for only $5, would go to the United Nations Agency for Aid and Public Works for Palestinian Refugees; This campaign ended over the weekend, raising exactly $902,365 in revenue.
The Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality raised about $8.5 million, but the campaign was long. Still, this new campaign seems to have achieved its goal.
Rami Ismail, a former developer of Vlambeer, said that “this campaign will not bring back the dead or the lost, it will not stop future violence against Palestine, but it will help people survive and rebuild their lives. It’s going to make a big difference.”
