Since the health crisis started, the video game sector has only been one more affected. Just two weeks ago, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that a worker had tested positive for coronavirus, while Nintendo delayed the release of its financial data.
In the fight against COVID-19, Humble Bundle released a pack of over 40 games, having raised over $ 6 million. Sony has donated $ 100 million and Rockstar 5% of its profits.
