It’s no secret that Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl developers, GSC Game World had to relocate from their home country of Ukraine to complete the game, as developing video games in the middle of a warzone turns out to be sub-optimal.
While the Russian government has been busy warning its population off playing Stalker 2 for fear of retribution given its strong support to the Ukrainian military, GSC Game World is trying to help raise cash to buy generators for schools that have been cut off from the power supply grid, in order that lessons can continue for the kids.
Teaming up with Ukraine’s UNITED24 and its ambassadors, Liev Schreiber, Scott Kelly, Katheryn Winnick, and Elina Svitolina, the Bring Back Light fundraiser will help over 30,000 school children return to education.
Ukraine’s official fundraising platform and the country’s prominent game devs will raffle off custom gifts among everyone who donates $24 or more towards power generators:
- 3 UNITED24 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2-branded radiation dosimeters;
- 10 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Ultimate Edition Physical packages that include physical copies of game souvenirs and memorabilia
Those who donate $10 or more will have a chance to win:
- 20 game keys
- 20 limited S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl T-shirts
A spokesperson for United24 said, “Cold, dark, grim environments are perfect for thrilling survival horror games, not actual schools. Let’s bring back some light and warmth to them. Let’s make sure Ukrainian kids can continue their education this winter”
If you want to take a look at the fundraiser and maybe help out, it runs until January 16th and can be found here.
