Summer Games Done Quick raises nearly $1.3 million

Summer Games Done Quick has come to an end now, having shown off some great speedrunning from some of the best in the speedrunning community. Now we wait another six months for the Winter event, but until then it’s worth talking about the event and its tally.

 

It’s likely that you didn’t manage to catch all of the event but all of the speedruns have been backed up onto the event’s Youtube channel so you’ll be able to catch up on the games that interest you at your own leisure. Of course, one part that everyone seems to have watched is when Bl00d_Thunder’s Bioshock run seemed to be taken over by an inopportune Windows 10 update; really a fairly clever little prank that allowed the livestream to not suffer consequences from the game’s cutscenes later causing copyright issues when uploaded onto Youtube.

The main point of any Games Done Quick event though is that these speedrunners are gaming quickly for the sake of charity and fundraising and this event saw them raising for Doctors Without Borders, and their current amount as of time of writing is almost $1.3 million – $1,298,479.44 if you want to be precise about it. The average donation was about $42.10 with the single largest donation being more than $59.5k.

 

As always it’s great to see people gaming for charity and giving something to those organisations that deserve the help and support.
