EVE Online’s PLEX For GOOD: Ukraine Campaign Has Raised Over $500K
CCP Games, with the help of the EVE Online community, has raised a total of $501,652 in donations through their PLEX for GOOD: Ukraine fundraising campaign. The proceeds will go towards helping those affected by the extended armed conflict in Ukraine, specifically to The UN Refugee Agency and the National Bank of Ukraine’s Humanitarian Assistance Fund.
“With the war still having such an awful impact on so many millions, it remains a time for empathy with all impacted, and hope for resolutions that lead to lasting peace. Yet the EVE community should rightly feel proud about what you have achieved – it will very directly help other people in great need. At CCP, there is a sense of deep gratitude that the player community has been so generous in coming together.”
“The EVE Online community is about fun, adventure and the excitement that can be found in New Eden. But our collective power also means we can do amazing things – and we should never forget what can be achieved. We have the ability – even responsibility – to make a positive difference to people and the planet we share,” the studio said.
Other video game companies that have donated funds to aid humanitarian efforts in the region include Activision Blizzard, Bungie, Epic Games, Gamigo, Itch.io, Microsoft and Ramen VR. Epic Games and Microsoft alone have raised over $100 million in donations for various charities and humanitarian organizations operating in Ukraine.
