Indie game makers have banded together to organize a $10 bundle containing well over 100 video games and other goodies, all in an effort to support the "unprecedented number" of developers who have suffered from layoffs this year. "In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by United Videogame Workers," Necrosoft director Brandon Sheffield writes on social media. — @brandon.insertcredit.com (@brandon.insertcredit.com.bsky.social) 2026-07-31T11:09:29.563Z "All money, minus processing fees for itch, goes to out of work game developers to pay for food, housing, healthcare, and whatever they need to make it through," Sheffield explains. Xbox recently laid off about 1,600 workers from its gaming division with another 1,600 layoffs planned, Bungie cut most of its Destiny 2 team after giving the game its final update, and even Fortnite's Epic Games shed 1,000 workers a few months back.
