THose particular gamers deserve applause for that action, but as a subculture we're the fucking worst.
lawlphailure
This happened, like, 3 years ago.
TacoFox
Thats just the problem, they went to TV when the action is online...

WHAT YEAR IS IT?

The news is basically never interested when anybody does good things. Ten seconds for charity and twenty minutes for carnage.
PamelaMorganBeesly
Ok, UPVOTE cause that's cool. But seriously. "Like and share." that right there. GET BACK TO FACEBOOK. holy balls.
dthninja2
In other "news," man has finally tamed fire!
BYERE
That's like trying to persuade the media to document how furries raise hundreds of thousands of pounds and dollars for charities each year
StevenFarmer
This was back in 2013, so it's no wonder the news isn't talking baout it now.
DaCrazyBeggar
Why do you think videogamers are a specific group of people? I know it's about the portrayal of "gamers" in journalism but it's wrong.

I belive EVE does an annual charity. https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/PLEX_for_GOOD

Gamer olds.

Top right, "November 2013 food drive"...
darkmikasonfire
Most gamers don't care about recognition for shit like this. We're playing games, if it helps others that's just a plus.
testsubject1
The last time i saw this it was 37498 pounds, so i guess they are getting better at it

Just how many years are they going to try to skate on the one prosocial thing they've ever done

Very very old news.
ExpectedDickbuttGotDickbutt
the "video gamers" this post is referring to are poker players who gamble with betamax videos
Stacyanna
Perfect for imgur
themadprofessor
Of course they weren't interested. There's no sex, no (real) blood, and gamers are supposed to be naive, introverted, practically (1/3)
themadprofessor
subhuman man-children with no cares about the outside world unless it directly affects their gaming. Why would they be interested in (2/3)
themadprofessor
portraying them as anything other that that? Heavens forfend that people get shown that gamers are real people that actually care...
rostit

Beckinpdx

wabitgirl
It is legitimate. Legitimately from 2013. It happened, I would know, I was there, playing games, but it was a while ago.

Well I remember this happening last year or the one before. That's about it. They pouted that it wasn't news.

Just like/share and move along. No need for proof these days.
KrisKringlez
I'm seeing it on the internet today,so it must be recent and 100% accurate
JUSTICEAMTHENIGHT

Is my Imgur broken? I don't have a share button either...
ImgursMostHated

HitlersFather
Sorry to ruin your joke, but if you hover over the upvote thing it says "like", and the facebook/twitter/reddit/+ on the left is for sharing
butzlightbeer
