Pixel Equity: Community Gaming Initiative

Pixelequity.org is a new site dedicated to donating games to those who can't afford them. An honorable charity. But what spoke to me were the reasons that Pixel Equity came up with for the reasons everyone should be able to play games.

  • Exposure to different cultures
  • Learn to think scientifically
  • Follow directions and read critically
  • Develop social and communication skills
I whole heartedly agree with those points and look forward to look at their request list and possibly being able to donate games to them. Between this and Child's Play, I think these are two really nice charities for children created by gamers for gamers. I hope they add some more items to their list, especially older generation consoles and games, where a huge library of culture and gaming history resides. You can donate anything you want, but it would be nice to filter through some games that really meant something to the four points they state on their website instead of just buying NFLMBAdden 2kXX.
