SOE Donates $25K To Red Cross For Haiti Relief
Over the past week game companies have joined the effort to provide financial assistance for Haiti Relief operations. This past weekend, Sony Online Entertainment called upon the gamer community to help raise $25,000 for the American Red Cross.
SOE donated $10 for every Haiti relief item purchased in EverQuest I & II and Free Realms. Items such as the Haiti Relief Plush Bear were available for in-game purchase from January 15 through 18, and sold for 500 Station Cash.
“In just three days we were able to reach our goal of $25,000 and it’s all because of the generosity of our players,” said John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment. “They really stepped up for a good cause and we’re proud to lend support to the estimated three million Haitians affected by the recent earthquakes.”
What do you think about the charitable efforts of game companies?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
