Thank You For Helping Us Raise Over $61,000 For Extra Life 2017!
At 8 a.m. this morning, our 25-hour livestream for Extra Life 2017 came to a close. We broke our record of previous years by raising a whopping total of $61,129. All donations are going to the children's hospital Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul, Minnesota.
We want to thank our generous Game Informer community who donated to see us do ridiculous shenanigans like wear dumb hats while playing games, watch Leo eat a scorpion, or see a pie thrown at me three times. I can still smell the residual whipped cream. We had an absolute blast, and we hope you did too!
We raised nearly $10,000 more than last year, where we reached a milestone of over $52,000. To watch our Extra Life 2017 stream in full, which has now been archived, head here.

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.
