PopCap Games Holds Its Own Charity Auction
We support charity fundraising here at the ZRC; quite often, actually. So even though the evil fearmongers and Anti-Zombie pushers at PopCap are our sworn enemies, we feel that we should lend a hand promoting their new charitable endeavour:
Popcap Games—the team behind Plants vs Zombies, Bejeweled, and Peggle—is reaching into its big vault of art for a series of eBay auctions to help support children’s charities in the US and UK. The auctions will run throughout the month.
…
100 percent of the proceeds from the auctions will be used to support two different children’s charities: the Starlight Children’s Foundation in the US and SpecialEffect in the UK.
The auctions will continue until July 12. To bid, head on over to ebay.com/popcap.
Naturally, they made another wacky internet video that’s slightly defamatory of their ‘Zombie Intern’ to promote this:
The first round of auctions ends tomorrow, so we don’t you get on over there and bid. If you win something you can even send PopCap a message about how they should feel ashamed, and hey, a lot of the stuff they’re selling is from their Non-Anti-Zombie Games.
Even though they’re continuing to push ugly prejudice while raising money:
There will be nearly 40 one-of-a-kind items up for bid, each representing a piece of PopCap history. All of it is for sale with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Starlight Children’s Foundation (U.S.) and SpecialEffect (U.K.) to help children with serious illnesses and their families cope with their challenges.
Don’t wait around and let the zombies eat your brains. The items will be auctioned in four waves of nine items each available for just 7 days, so go take a look and bid often!
Zombies won’t eat your brains, you sad, deluded developers. They might buy some of your swag to help out a worthy cause though.
