The new Doom II episode, which John Romero recently said would develop a new level for Doom II , which he said would be used to benefit refugees displaced from their homes in Ukraine, quickly gained a lot of attention.
New Doom II episode raises $30,000
The producer said on Twitter two days ago that it had reached $29,500. Considering that the new Doom II episode sold even more in two days, it may have been worth much more than the figure we’re talking about right now.
Romero’s effort to support the Ukrainian people is one of many undertaken by the gaming industry since Russia launched its invasion on February 24th. 11 Bit Studios, All In Games and The Farm 51, CD Projekt, GOG, Bungie, Amanita Design , 4A Games, Digital Extremes, Facepunch Studios and others have pledged to make significant donations to charities working in the country.
Yesterday, Itch.io launched the Bundle for Ukraine , a huge collection of about 1,000 games that raise funds for the International Medical Associations, for as much as $10, where it’s free.
