GOG announces three games for $5 charity deal

Digital retailer GOG.com has announced a charity promotion where users can pick three games from a list of ten for $5. 100 percent of the money raised will be donated to charity.

Each game's developers have waived their royalty payments, and GOG.com is paying the transaction fees so that all proceeds go to one of three chosen charities. Buyers can donate money to WWF, Worldbuilders, or Gaming for Good.

The ten games on offer are:

• Botanicula
• Creatures: Village
• Darwinia
• Driftmoon
• FTL: Faster Than Light
• Incredipede
• Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
• Pid
• The Whispered World
• Waking Mars

Users can also add more games to the bundle or donate extra to charity if they wish.

"After recently celebrating five years in business, after building one of the largest hardcore gaming communities on the 'net, and after all of the success and growth it has achieved the company has decided it is time to give back," said GOG.com in a statement.

The promotion will close on Tuesday, November 11.
