I'd like to donate, but can someone tell me how I can be certain the money actual goes to Child's Play?


The reciept clearly says that your payment goes directly to Child's Play, not through a third party.

EDIT: never mind, the receipt does indeed list Child's Play directly.

If we want to get serious money for this charity then we need the mainstream gaming media to support us.

This needs to be forwarded to all the game journalist that called us whiners and immature babies and **** like that. Show them, that we talk with not only our mouths, but our HEARTS.


While I do certainly agree I don't think we should do it in an obnoxcious "I told you so" manner.  I don't say that to sound preachy, but because you people are all better than that.  I know so because these donations prove it.



It wouldn't be to be obnoxious. It would be to show them. "Hey, we aren't these whiny babies that you like to call us, unlike you guys in gaming journalism, WE are actually doing something constructive while looking to get things fixed"

THIS.

This is about a statement. WE are doing what we believe to be RIGHT.

First I would like to thank whoever set this up for bring a worthwhile charity to our collective attention. Secondly, this is a great idea. We show EA that we are willing to back up what we are saying with money and even if nothing changes we still get to feel good about something related to these soul crushing endings. In fact, having donated, I feel better already.

True enough.  I hope that I didn't give the impression that I was making any assumptions about you or anyone.  If so I'm sorry.

At least people are using their rage for a good cause. And not sending death threats to the developers.

Good job.

No not at all brother, I didn't take it as any sign of animosity or anything.

While some of the community has really gone all out and donated large sums of money, even a dollar helps. Imagine what good we could do if even half of the people who voted in the ending poll donated just a dollar to the cause!

Now this is a moral decision that actually MATTERS.


Bump for this. Glad to say that I contributed 10 bucks for a real life paragon decision.

Over 11k and counting guys. This charity is gonna be extremely happy with all of us, including those that couldn't donate because of lack of funds. You guys helped out as well by spreading the link. HOLD THE LINE!

Just sent out emails to several of the major publications that are supporting us, informing them of the charity drive.

I'm not self-promoting; I have no stake in the charity and have not provided a single cent.
That said, what's being done is INCREDIBLE. Even if Bioware and EA do nothing, you guy's have raised ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in UNDER TWENTY-FOUR HOURS without need to advertise, getting help from only Mass Effect fans.

That's ****ING INSANE.
Keep up the amazing work!

Perhaps if BioWare can't/won't give us a proper ending, perhaps they should instead match every dollar raised by this...?

It'll definitely buy them some good will and show that they actually take this situation seriously. Also, charity!

Whew thank goodness.  I was afraid my lousy communication skills had lead me to accidentally say something offensive.
