Marcin Iwinski, co-founder and joint CEO at CD Projekt, announced that the studio is working with established Polish non-governmental organization Fundacja Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy to provide extra medical equipment like intensive care unit beds and personal protection sets for healthcare workers on the frontline.

“We’d like to thank all the brave souls who fight for our well-being every day and hope these funds help in your effort to rid us of the virus,” Iwinski said.

CD Projekt isn’t the only video game company to join the fray and help, though. Nintendo donated 9,500 N95 masks to the Eastside Fire & Rescue (EF&R) in North Bend, Washington. Ndemic Creations, developer of the Plague Inc. game where players aim to create a pathogen that’s potent enough to eradicate the human race, donated $250,000 to WHO and CEPI.
