We're still collecting donations

On the 26th January 2025 we'd raised £10 with 1 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

In 2023, over 10,500 game developers lost their jobs due to industry layoffs. In 2024, more than 10,800 additional layoffs have been reported, surpassing the total number of job cuts in 2023. 

These layoffs have left thousands of talented individuals facing financial instability and uncertainty about their future in the industry.

Beyond the immediate economic impact, many are experiencing significant emotional and psychological stress, questioning their skills and career choices.

By contributing to the Game Developer Support Fund, you can help:

- Provide Financial Assistance: Offer immediate relief to cover essential living expenses during job transitions.

- Facilitate Career Transition: Support access to training programs, workshops and job placement services to help developers find new opportunities.

- Promote Mental Well-being:Ensure access to counseling and mental health resources during this challenging period.

Investing in this fund means:

- Sustaining Innovation: Helping experienced developers return to the industry ensures the continued creation of groundbreaking games.

- Strengthening the Community: Supporting those who have brought joy to millions through gaming.

- Demonstrating Solidarity: Showing that the games community stands together in times of adversity.

Join us in making a tangible difference. Your contribution, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in rebuilding the careers of those who have shaped the gaming experiences we cherish.

Together, we can turn setbacks into comebacks. Support the Game Developer Support Fund and help talented professionals get back in the game.
