As of July 1st, 2011, we have so far raised and donated $20,680.30 for Child's Play! That's $2350.97 since our April update, all of which is going directly to the charity.

We'll keep everyone posted on how the donations are doing.  Once again, we're ecstatic to continue our on-going contribution!  Especially pleased to be considered a platinum sponsor for such a worthy cause.

More About AI War: Children of Neinzul and Child's Play

When you purchase AI War: Children Of Neinzul, you're not only getting an exciting new expansion, you're also supporting an important cause. Arcen Games has partnered with the Child's Play charity, pledging 100% of the profits from sale of Children of Neinzul (excepting any taxes and distributor fees) to helping sick kids in need.

The staff at Arcen has long admired the work done by Child's Play, and we're very excited to finally be able to contribute in a substantial manner. Our goal for 2010 was to raise $14,000.00 USD for Child's Play, but even after 2010 all of the proceeds from this micro-expansion are continuing to be donated to the charity.

At the moment, this micro-expansion is available directly through the Arcen Online Store ($3.99 USD), as well as through Steam, Impulse, and GamersGate.

bought CoN a few days ago - something seems wrong about paying more for the microexpansion than for main game + full expansion :).  But yay Child's Play, that was a good excuse.  Now I just need an excuse on Light of the Spire.

The Child's Play charity is a thing of awesomeness. And I'm more than happy to support it... especially since I got a great game as part of the bargain, too! :D

We'll have updated numbers that will reflect the Steam sale in early September, as that's when we'll have that money.  I haven't calculated it out in terms of what it will work out to yet... but it's a quite good chunk for sure. :)

Good Karma is Best Karma.

Imagine how awesome it would be if the major publishers earmarked .001% of their sales to charity.

Hell, I might even buy the uber crappy modern warfare series if I though it would help someone past a fat beniegn stock holder or even fatter corp officer. =p
