Considering the success of the Halo franchise its no secret that Bungie is without a doubt sitting on a large amount of cash. And, with the recent earthquake in Haiti, it makes you wonder why a studio like Bungie hasn’t been pulling their weight. Well, now they are.

The studio has just announced that for everyone who puts a heart symbol as their emblem and plays in any online playlist this Wednesday and Thursday, they will donate 10 cents to the Red Cross up to $77,000. Additionally, they have also said that if you purchase a special edition shirt, they will give all of the proceeds to the Red Cross.

One of the main gripes about World of Warcraft other than it’s uncanny ability to completely take over your life is the $15 a month subscription fee. Well, a new stunt to get people to donate may waive that fee indefinitely. 

Apparently, a Blizzard employee by the name of Katherine Allen set up a donation page for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Socieity which allows you to pledge however much money you want to the cause. However, to be entered into the drawing for the lifetime subscription of WoW, you must donate at least $25.

Originally Katherine planned on passing out 3 1-year subscription cards and said if the donations succeeded $5,500 she would personally pay for the winners subscription for life. Well as of writing this article the donations are currently at $16,758.

So what are you waiting for? Get donating!
