I'm a little confused on what exactly the money is being raised for and where it's going. Bear with me, it's early and I'm still drinking my tea...Can you clarify it a bit for those of us who aren't morning people?
Two outcomes:
1) you can donate to Child's Play and Electronic Frontier Foundation as well as Independent Game Companies (or all to Charity, or all to the Developers, up to you),
2) as thanks for donating to Indie Development/Charities (or both), you get 5-10 games (all 10 if your donation exceeds the average, which is around $6) that are DRM-Free (no copy protection) so you can save it anywhere, install them on your entire home network, whatever you like... All the games also work on all three platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux), and you have access to the downloads indefinitely so if you get a MacBook a year from now, these titles will work on it no problem (or if you decide to flirt with Linux a little and see what happens). One of the games this time is Torchlight if you don't own that already on your console (prior XBox Live Arcade hit).
I hate mornings, too. Woke up an hour ago.
