It's not much, but even the little things matter. 21 Bioware employees volunteered to help participate in the Neufeld landing project for two days. Thumbs up!

Habitat for Humanity is a global Christian NPO that focuses on building homes for people with a low income. Those houses aren't free. Materials have to be bought on their own and them helping with building it is assumed as well, but on the other hand, they are now official house owners instead of just getting a place to live in. It's a really good project, an old friend of mine is part of it and it's worth supporting.

You're aware that they do quite a bit of charity related stuff, yeah?

The Easter Seals Drop Zone is another example.

It's video games related news, it's a charity-related project that was really well-thought out and therefore, some attention doesn't hurt

So they produce some of the most acclaimed games of all time, yet they aren't acutally working unless they're doing something for free?

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

It is fairly common for larger companies to become engaged in charities or charitable work. It's part of a corporate concept called Social Responsibility intended as a different form of advertisement, essentially painting a human face on whatever organisation is conducting it and thus making the public perceive it in a better light. Since the gaming industry has become more professional over the past one or two decades, this practice can now also be found here.
You can usually "de-mask" this by how much a company advertises such a policy of engagement on their website or other media. Unfortunately, the most sincere campaigns are the ones you'll never hear about.


Also, now I kinda feel I should put "Atheist" or "Non-Religious" in front of "NGO" when I next mention one...
