Sony Donates $5 Million To Los Angeles Fire Relief Efforts
As multiple fires continue to blaze through Los Angeles, Sony and others are donating millions to relief efforts
Sony is not the only corporation or individual to donate to the relief efforts, as Netflix and NBC Universal have each announced $10 million donations. Singer Beyonce, meanwhile, has donated $2.5 million.
Necrosoft Games is leading an effort to create a "California Fire Relief Bundle" on itch.io that calls on game developers to submit their work to the bundle for a charity campaign to raise funds for relief efforts. Submissions are open until January 19.
A number of game developers are based in the Los Angeles area. A spokesperson for Santa Monica-based Activision told PC Gamer that it is monitoring the situation and are in contact with its local employees, offering resources as needed. League of Legends developer Riot, meanwhile, is based in the Los Angeles area, and its CEO, Dylan Jadeja, said the studio plans to "stand up for Los Angeles and give back in every way we can..."
"After all, while our reach is global, the heart of Riot Games has always been in Los Angeles. Los Angeles raised us and we are proud to call this great city our home," Jadeja said.
At least 24 people are confirmed dead as a result of the fires that have destroyed thousands of homes and other structures in Los Angeles, according to The Associated Press. Information about how to help the affected victims can be found here.
