“Let this message resonate with us all and let’s do everything we can.”
Indika publisher 11 Bit Studios is donating $50k to support Ukrainian children impacted by Russia’s devastating attack on Kyiv’s Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital.
The Polish studio said it was making the donation as “mere words would be empty without a meaningful act”.
“It pains us that the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, and the recent abhorrent attack on the children’s hospital in Kyiv by Russian military forces shook us to our core,” the studio said in a statement posted to X/Twitter.
“Mere words would be empty without a meaningful act though – we had previously stated that a portion of 11 Bit Studios revenue generated from Indika will be donated to aid children affected by the war in Ukraine, we knew the time to act was now. That is why we decided to donate $50k to Liberty Ukraine Foundation to support Ukrainian kids receiving treatment at Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv.
“War devastates everything in its path, and is most cruel to those that are most innocent – children. Let this message resonate with us all – players and developers together – and let’s do everything we can.”
ICYMI, Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat is using Counter-Strike to provide Russian players with accurate news on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
The newspaper created a map in CS:GO to distribute “independent journalism”, which launched on World Press Freedom Day last year. The map, based on a war-torn Slavic city, includes a secret room that shows uncensored footage of the Ukraine invasion in Russia.
