Even people who don't give a sh** about ukraine and buy such a bundle would be of help. But let's put aside the allegation of "greed" and "personal gain". It's all about where the money goes. Instead of "filling their pockets" gog would transfer a certain amount of income to help people. Good cause, good pr.

Our countries are already giving too much to the Azov nation. How about we spend it all on ourselves instead.

In a true democracy, character and ability should win, not money, prominence and lies.
A bit rich from someone from Germany. The first half of the 20th century was a great time thanks to the Germans lol.

RetroBaer: Dear GOG please [...] create a 100% [profi free] donation bundle as well
The sole incentive of a person donating to a charity should be the wish to support the cause of that charity.
If someone says: "Oh, I'd love to support cause X, but only if I get something in return",...then something went terribly wrong.
The knowledge of one supporting the good cause (if only with a small amount of money), and that warm fuzzy feeling that this knowledge gives you, should be reward enough for everyone.
To expect any other reward (beside that warm, fuzzy feeling), waters down the "I want to help" - aspect to a point, where it is basically rendered moot.

So: you want to help?
Well, then look for an aid organisation that supports a cause that you want to support - and donate to them directly.

Btw: am I the only one who doesn't miss the irony when the OP writes: "Dear GOG please [...] create a 100% (profit free) donation bundle as well"?

The OP is basically asking GOG to do what he himself (and quite some others here) isn't willing to do - to donate without getting anything in return.

serpantino: Do we really need to get something out of making a charitable donation? It kinda undermines it a little & gives the illusion of doing something good when your primary reason is personal gain.

RetroBaer: 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.
if you struggle financially you shouldnt buy games
