Obvious bait but I'll bite the thing is most of the community doesn't seem to actualy like let alone idolize iether.. .. Usually if anything on Trump matter I have noticed on here is going'' Trump was right it seems'' or ''using similar talking pionts'' because of things he said is true or pionting out factual matters about what he seemed truly interested in doing rather

Putin I hjarderly ever seen talk about him in my ventures on the forums till the Russian sanctions happened which currently I equate to mostly trolls and people trying to be edgy at this time ..

Hahaaa, really? Trump would have done everything he could for Putin, Trump even congratulated Putin and called him smart for invading Ukraine. And fake promises are just what Trump does.

It is but the OP seems to be asking for a bundle as a prerequisite to donating; it smelt a bit too strongly of entitlement to me.

Edit: I see gog's pathetic neg trolls still haven't managed to get a life doing anything remotely worthwhile *yawn*.

The purchase period for the Bundle for Ukraine has passed, so this one cannot be bought any longer.

As for the Humble bundle, it's primarily Steam keys - including games that were part of the itch bundle or can be purchased on GOG. It might be worth it if you could select the version (Steam, GOG, Epic) depending on which store(s) the game is available on. Since you're locked into Steam with thus bundle, it's not worth it if you're not into Steam.

Also there's really nothing wrong with donating to a charity directly.

Right. Next time sirs Clinton and Bush visit a holy place to pay respect for innocent victims, just tell them to do the same for the victims that resulted out of their personal politics and militant decisions, in order for their act to feel like more realistic and less vile to other people (of age and with memory). Not every president is a nasty warmonger. Even the currect one, was the one to suggest the bombing of Belgrade (1998). "First invasion in europe post WW2", yes? Evil Russians, no? Good american butchers of the past? Bad Trump wanting peace? I got it right?

Then again, there were Hunter's (economic and whatnot) scandals (many years "cooking" and brewing a situation there) and A3OB. I won't even touch the bio labs and the Minsk agreement. Just research a little bit. Everybody can. And take extra care to help the normal civilians fleeing from there! Not the bald people riddled with "strange" tattoos, who try to escape by dressing like poor civilians.

no it is not
this is just for narcissists

Huh, that's an interesting mix of replies. Thanks everybody. Yes direct donations would do the job, yes, surely there is enough space to impute a greedy hypocrisy. And yes, it's an overkill in terms of chemicals "be greedy and virtuous simultaniously". I did buy Zorin OS Pro for example. They donate 100% to the ukraine if you buy it within a certain time window. It feels good, I give and I gain. I think in the end, the result is, money goes to ukraine people, which is good, even if some greedy ones may "profit" from it - the overall result would be "doing good".

I would like to disagree. Many people do struggle financially. They may have the wish to buy game "abc" and so on, but can't get themselves to "make the move". BUT if you offer said game as a charitable donation, that hurdle loses height. Does it matter if I buy it than or later. YES. I get the same game (greed), but my money will also help people in need (doing good). It's a win-win situation on that front AND good (or at least) pr for gog.

Agreed. It's funny how many of these people lack the critical thinking skills to realize that all of this money is going straight to the rich government officials and corrupt politicians in Ukraine. Not a single penny will go to the people.

Yup , maybe 10% will reach those who need it
at least that was the statistic last time I checked out these "charities"

I already posted this in another thread but I guess it fits better in here:

The developers of Chernobylite just launched a special charity pack. It contains 4 wallpapers in various resolutions, 2 posters and 1 thank you card with the signatures of the dev team. All profits of it will be donated to The Pure Heart Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization which is working hard, distributing humanitarian and medical aid for communities and victims directly affected by the war in Ukraine.

Here on GOG it's not listed as a DLC but rather as a standalone game, which means everyone can buy it, not only current owners of Chernobylite.

So if you'd like to donate to victims of war and get a little something in return, here's your chance.

This thread has turned into a sad example of trash talk and toxicity.

In before thread lockdown...

Better #Stand-with-Ukraine than #Stand-against-Russians-and-Belarusians

That is a good point but it still seems to be holding out on making a donation & encouraging gog to jump on the bandwagon for personal gain. I struggle financially myself, I've donated & now can't afford the humble bundle but I don't regret it or care.
Given the choice of getting nothing back or getting something back I can see why most would opt for the former but it came across in this instance as "companies are giving away ridiculously good value bundles, make one too."
The recipients don't care I'm sure but holding out on a charitable 'donation' for a better deal seems weird.

Edit: one good thing about these bundles though is they do encourage people that have already donated to squeeze out a little more.
