Mac developers team up for Child’s Play

Child's PlayIf you’ve been inured by the barrage of free Mac software available lately, here’s a chance to pay full price for a great cause. A handful of Mac developers are donating the proceeds from all of their apps sold today, December 7th to Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity. If you’re not familiar with this organization, it buys toys and games for sick kids staying at a few dozen children’s hospitals around the world.

I’ve been participating in Child’s Play since its inception, and every year the program raises more money and adds new hospitals. Jerry and Mike have done a terrific job of bringing the gaming community together to help out the kids. And if shows the public that people who play videogames aren’t the evil menace society makes them out to be, well, that’s just a bonus.

Among the Mac developers participating in the donations are companies like Delicious Monster, Flying Meat, Red Sweater Software, and several more. You can find the full list at the link above. And if you miss out on today’s software donations, you can always hit up the Child’s Play site to donate directly.
