Square Enix Contributes To Kumamoto Earthquake Relief
In the midst of domestic video game news, Square Enix brought a brief release today, alerting us to its contribution of 50 million yen (around $460,000 in US dollars) to the relief effort for those affected by the devastating earthquakes in Kumamoto, Japan.
The series of earthquakes, which culminated in a magnitude 7.0 quake on April 16, have left dozens dead, thousands injured, and tens of thousands evacuated from their homes.
If you’re interested in contributing to relief efforts, you can learn more through the Japanese Red Cross Society.
Our Take
Our hearts go out to the victims of this natural disaster. Obviously, the devastating toll in lives and residences lost hits close to home for the Japan-based publishing team at Square Enix.
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.
