AAA and indie devs rally to send free games to patients of Australia's first young adult hospice center

gamesradar.com:

Australia's first adolescent and young adult hospice center (AYAH) was opened in Manly earlier this year, and dozens of game developers across the industry are now working together to supply it with free games for patients to play. 

This charity effort was set in motion by Jess Damerst, release manager at Subnautica studio Unknown Worlds. On July 10, she posted about meeting one of the center's nurses and learning that its gaming room has three PS5 consoles and controllers but few games. Having already shared some Subnautica codes with the center, Damerst put out a call for more game devs to pitch in, and the response has been tremendous. 

The replies to Damerst's initial tweet are filled with indie and AAA devs eager to share their games. Developers on the likes of Cloudpunk, Astroneer, God of War: Ragnarok, Jackbox Games, Moving Out, and others – great games, all – have pledged codes, and Damerst says dozens more have contributed in private.

"I've had so much outreach, it's amazing," she tells GamesRadar+. "I can't believe it. I thought, 'oh I'll just tweet this, I don't think anyone really reads Twitter anymore.' But yeah, it's been amazing. From two companies I've had like six or seven games, and then one-off games from several people. The response has also been from developers or people who will go and ask their studio to provide me some keys, or marketing managers at a publisher. I've had PR agencies who've provided keys and a couple streamers who've reached out. I've got a bunch of DMs from people, Humble Games has reached out, I've had a response from Gamers Outreach. I've been shocked at the number of people."
