Following Vladimir Putin’s recent statements leading to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the video game world is not remaining passive in the face of the situation. The video game industry is trying in its own way to help the Ukrainian people with this human tragedy. The 11-bit studio is the first to start the march this Friday.
The studio just announced that “all earnings are suspended for the next seven days This my war, as well as those of the DLC, in all stores and on all platforms, are kept in a special background. In a week this fund will be donated to the Ukrainian Red Cross to directly support the victims of this war in Ukraine.” An action cheered by many players and journalists.
