In response, itch.io has launched the Game Industry Hardship Fund bundle, offering 127 games for $10. The proceeds from this bundle will directly support laid-off developers in the U.S. and Canada, providing assistance for essential needs like food, healthcare, and rent. The initiative, spearheaded by Necrosoft Games and supported by United Videogame Workers, has already raised over $163,000 towards its $200,000 goal. AI
