Donating the first months sales for the famine victims in Africa

mlafta

Hello,

I wanted to share this with you hopefully this will trigger others to do the same. I just released a game and I got about 43 sales in the first 24 hrs and hopefully this will continue. I have decided to give the first month sales to famine victims in Africa, I don't know how much that will be but It's something to help with.

If you can please do the same for your games to help the hungry people there.

Thanks,

Thanks MattGibbard,

I made 45 sales in the first 24 hrs. I wish that I will sell more in the first month so I can give more. I am happy that I am doing this. I will give ALL that I get from sales.

I was going to make a free app but I think I will make it paid for the first few weeks and donate the money! After that I will make it free!

very cool man...well done...

I've been working on a charity idea myself...still looking into legal side of things as I want to do something big and proper if I do it...I figure I earn enough in my day job that I might be able to do some good or something like that...I mean sure Superman may have done some good but did he ever raise any money to help solve world famine, hand out mosquito nets, help the homeless...nope he was too busy trying to pull Miss.Lane :-)

This has triggered an idea for me.
I want to make an app, it will cost, that tells you more about how to donate to this cause, more info on it.
But to make it more exciting, i will add in loads of mini-games to it. But 100% if the profits will be donated to this cause.

Will purchase now! That's so wonderful of you to do this. I was watching that on TV at the gym yesterday and it was heart wrenching. I was ready to pack my things and help out as a former RN. Very, very lovely of you.

What a great idea mate I noticed a similar thing after the recent earthquake/tsunami in Japan. Some developers, including big companies like SEGA and Capcom, donated the proceeds from certain games over a certain period. Hopefully some big guys will come on board with this too and help out with the horrible situation in Africa.
