The game industry has a problem. Too many people are out of work. Reports say 33% of the industry lost their jobs in the last two years, and the jobs they could fill are disappearing as CEOs try to replace them with AI. 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.
Just recently we've seen massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Microsoft, and many others, with thousands of game developers, many with 20+ years of experience, out of work.
To address this in some small way, we have created a bundle with almost 150 games. The proceeds of this bundle will go toward a hardship fund for those experiencing layoffs. Individual out of work or under-employed game developers can apply to this fund and use the money for things they need, like food, healthcare, and rent. (This fund is not for companies.)
The fund will be run and dispensed by United Videogame Workers, a union benefiting game developers. They are local 9433 of Communication Workers of America, and a 501 (c)(5) organization. Due to the nature of their jurisdiction this fund will only be available to developers in North America (the U.S. and Canada). They also have a FAQ about who's eligible and how.
Thanks to all the participants in the bundle who donated their games, and to you for donating! Please donate above the limit if you are able, and let's help as many people as possible!
