Yogscast Charity Drive Offering 11 Games For $25
Popular YouTube network Yogscast has partnered up with Humble Bundle for one of biggest deals of 2013. If you’re watching the Steam holiday sale each day, make sure you check out this amazing deal before all your money disappears.
The team is live streaming for charity, and this year’s partnership with Humble Bundle means that you’ll get something in return for your contribution. A number of developers have shared their wares, allowing Humble Bundle and Yogscast to build a collection of eleven games and three in-game items. Contributions will support five charities: Oxfam, SpecialEffect, Little People UK, GamesAid, and War Child (allocated by the donor).
Everyone that donates at least $5 will get a Team Fortress 2 “Heart of Gold” cosmetic item. At $25 and greater, the following items become available:
- Awesomenauts
- The Chaos Engine
- Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
- Garry’s Mod
- Magicka: Wizard Wars (Early Access)
- Napoleon: Total War
- Rust
- Sanctum Collection
- Shank 2
- Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
- Torchlight
These are the in-game items that are included:
- War of the Vikings Yogscast hat
- Awesomenauts Honeydew skin of Skølldir
The bundle is valued at $265. All of the items are unlockable via Steam, so you will need an account for Valve’s service. You can check out the Humble Bundle here, the Yogscast Dwarven Dairy Drive live stream, and learn more about the Yogscast network on the group’s website.

Our Take
Charity shouldn’t require an incentive like this, but offering one is no doubt going to increase participation. This bundle is absolutely stellar, and if you’ve got $25 to spare, it’s well worth your money.
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.
