In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

All money, minus processing fees for itch, goes to out of work game developers to pay for food, housing, healthcare, and whatever they need to make it through. Neither we as the organizers nor UVW take any of the money from the bundle. Game developers can apply here: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun...

And! This is just a good bundle. A Short Hike! Arranger! Holedown! Wheels of Aurelia! Lots of good games in here, many of which have not been in a bundle before, or were not even on itch previously! Get it if you just like cool video games. You can see how many Hot Ones there are in the trailer.

Big thanks to @duncanrobson.com for making the trailer and doing the VO in a pinch, all my pals at forums.insertcredit.com who donated their time to vet games, and @videogameworkers.bsky.social for creating the hardship fund and asking me to run this bundle. Now let's get those numbers UP.

Also, last minute, we were able to get @nichole.bsky.social to do a read for the trailer! We've updated the bundle page with the new youtube video and will share it separately on socials a bit later! youtu.be/ti-ATJAz94k
