Indie games marketplace Itch.io has launched a massive pay-what-you-want bundle to raise money for racial justice and equality.
The bundle, which includes 1000 games and projects valued at over $5000, lets users pay what they want (with a minimum payment of $5) for DRM-free access to the indie games. All proceeds from the sale of the bundle will go to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund which are helping to support the Black Lives Matter protests.
