But as CEOs repeatedly fail, game workers and players are coming together to support those who are now out of work.
Demonschool developer Necrosoft Games has partnered with the game developer union United Videogame Workers (UVW-CWA) on an Itch charity bundle called the Game Industry Hardship Fund, which reached its initial $100,000 goal in just three days.
The charity bundle features 127 games, including titles like A Short Hike and Arranger, for a $10 minimum donation.
All of the proceeds go toward “a hardship fund for those experiencing layoffs,” which is managed and distributed by UVW-CWA.
It’s hard for companies to adjust to the new shape of the game industry, but even harder for the people they should be employing.”
