The Necrosoft Games-hosted charity bundle on Itch.io is nearing its $200,000 goal to support workers affected by layoffs in the US and Canada. The bundle features 127 titles with a minimum price of $10, and has already raised over $169,000 with seven days remaining until its August 13 deadline. Proceeds will go towards a hardship fund established by the United Videogame Workers (UVW-CWA) union, which launched on July 6.
The fund offers two tiers to assist those impacted by layoffs or related hardships, with recipients able to use the funds for work-related or personal expenses. The UVW-CWA hardship fund is open to anyone affected, regardless of union membership, and a recent report from Bethesda Game Studios union OneBGS highlighted a member's use of the fund to cover moving expenses after layoffs at Xbox impacted 440 of their union members.
