Indeed it is! Updated. Utterly amazing.

When I first heard of this, I was skeptical. Didn't think they'd crack $1,000. I'm glad to have been proven wrong. 34 times over thus far.

The bandwagon effect can be very effective. And I don't mean to belittle this achievement at all, I mean that in a good way.

I love the negative spin being put on this movement. It's amazing how someone can turn something like donating money to sick kids into something bad.

You should know that some people (including that one egomaniac from Destructoid) are attacking this movement even harder for giving to charity.

Gotta love the ignorance and low reading comprehension of people out there - lots of armchair judges defending Bioware's right to do what they want with their IP (and they do indeed have that right) while simultaneously saying the "entitled" have no right to demand a change when they don't like the things they do.

So I guess you guys can forget being discontent with the ending - you have no right to protest or have an opinion. Lawlz.

I'm glad I never bothered with Destructoid even before this.

Any negative press this receives is completely inconsequential as long as those actually making a difference in the lives of many kids simply don't give in to the negativity and keep up with the positive energy. :)

Actually, there's a silver lining in any negative press: it could raise awareness of Child's Play and bring in more donations.

But I just wanted to put the goings-on out there - take it for what it's worth.

True enough. I'm sure there have been more than a few "Renegade" or just spite-based donations. Also, $13 away from $35,000!

On that note, I'm going to have a nap now to make up for the sleep I lost last night, dumbfounded by the amount of success this movement has had.

Bump...

I can't speak highly enough of this wonderful idea... so I let my money do so.

I did some math - looked at how much I've spent on ME and other Bioware games over the last 10 years, and donated that amount to the charity (and the cause) because I won't be sending that money Bioware's way any longer.

1k more

PS
First thing I've done since finishing the game 5 days ago that made me feel any better.

Hats off to the folks that came up with the notion and my deepest respect to all the gracious fans who are participating.

Truly well done!

Wow. Good to see this still going strong. I'm starting to feel the urge to donate again. Going to dinner with some out of town friends but when I get back if this thing has hit 40k, I'm committing to another $5 or $10, at least. Hold the line and help out some kids!

Wouldn't it be awesome if Bill Gates was a ME fan and equally upset with the endings? *hint hint*
