gPotato: This Is How You Charity


A little late to the game, but we don’t play favorites when it comes to charity work (unless your company is using Child’s Play as some shameless plug to get money to send a fraction of said donation to charity). Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen an outpour of support from MMO developers toward Japan. The Final Fantasy servers are just coming up, with more game content on the way, and a number of other companies have offered their support, through donations or through the cutting of billing to Japanese players.

gPotato is running a charity where purchases to specific items, seen here, in specific games will result in 100% of those proceeds going to charity. Allods Online and Aika Online are not included in that list, with at least one of the two not participating because the concept of donating involves investing money with no expectation of making a return or profit.

But this isn’t about the developers who refuse to participate in charity. If you play any of gPotato’s games, this is an easy way to make a donation.
