I can&#8217;t imagine how it screws people up to witness war as children, let alone to lose friends and relatives to war. I know we all like our war games, I still play Battlefield One most days, but lets not forget that war isn&#8217;t just movies and cool games, but something that continues to blight peoples lives, especially in Syria right now.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230;enough preachy stuff. We raised $15k, which hopefully helps quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, all our games are discounted by various amounts in the steam sale.
