With many big tech companies now cutting business ties with Russia, such as EA, Intel, AMD, Take-Two, and Nvidia, there is a sense that the rest of the globe is not willing to take the invasion lying down.

During the height of the pandemic back in 2020, indie gaming marketplace Itch.io revealed a bundle in aid of the Black Lives Matter movement, raising more than $8 million dollars for the cause.

All proceeds will go towards helping the people of Ukraine. At the time of writing, the current amount raised so far is almost $650,000 with still more than nine days left to get the bundle.
