[BLOG] AGDQ raised over $1 million in a week, maybe even more

The Awesome Games Done Quick 2015 speedrun marathon has come to an end for now, having been playing many games at top speed all in the name of raising money for charity. This time round it was Prevent Cancer and the total was brilliant: around $1,180,000.



The event director, Andrew Schroeder, has said though that there appears to have been a bug in the donation tracker the event used, which means the actual total could be closer to around $1.5 million. Wow.



Speaking at the end of the event Schroeder revealed the total as well as the news of the bug: "Several people have contacted us since Thursday, letting us know that their donations haven’t been showing up... we can confirm that there was indeed one that caused donations not to show up."



They'll be adding them manually over the course of this next week, holding off awarded prizes until then as well but hope to find that the total is $1.5 million, including the money made off the special Humble Bundle offered which brought in around $192,547 by itself.



Go to their Twitch channel if you missed anything you wanted to see, the broadcasts are still up right now.
