Pride Month is over, but the Queer Games Bundle is still available for a few days.

itch.io's Queer Games Bundle recently reached $100,000 in sales, but there are still three days left until it is no longer available for purchase.

The bundle was launched during Pride Month and has the express purpose of raising funds for queer creators. As such, all money raised by the bundle will be split evenly among the 195 creators who contributed games, zines, and tools.

Anyone can publish their games on itch.io. Unlike other storefronts, there is no approval process or application fee. As a result, itch.io has indie games backed by publishers such as Finji (publishing Night in the Woods and more recently Chicory), while there is also a community of "micro-indie" developers and experimental artists

Bundles.

The range of game genres and experiences included in the bundles is indicative of:

Small indie games are often a financial loss for their creators, and many games on itch.io are free or "pay what you think they are worth" Projects like the Queer Games Bundle and the Indiepocalypse anthology can bring more money to indie creators than distributing games individually.

The Queer Games Bundle is still running through July 4, so you can get it for the regular price of $60 (the price of one intentionally blockbuster release) or a "sliding scale" version for $10 to $20.
