Gifting and giving for gamers
Published: December 14, 2010
Every Federal worker gets slammed during the holiday season -- not just with shopping, but with charities. The Combined Federal Campaign makes a big push this time of year, and while it’s definitely a worthy cause, gamers just got another great incentive to give (and receive) with this year’s Humble Indie Bumble 2.
Humble Bumble 2 is a joint charity collaboration among a handful of indie game developers, the game-based Child’s Play Charity, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. This year they’re offering five great games: “Cortex Command,” “Machinarium,” “Osmos,” “Revenge of the Titans” and the highly acclaimed “Braid,” for any donation amount of your choice. You can even set how much of your donation goes to each group.
Every game works on of the most popular operating systems: Windows, Mac and Linux, and they’re all DRM-free, which means you can play them offline, re-install or re-download them as much as you want. It’s a great opportunity to do a little self-gifting before you head out to the post exchange, or a great gift for a computer gamer on your list. Think it over fast though, because as of this posting, it’ll only be up for about six more days.
