Cases where video game developers have personally helped gamers

Fame, money and power often spoil people. At a minimum, they are removed from one another. Those who are successful, begin to despise the rest, and the rest answer the same, only they do not despise, but, at times, openly hate. In the gaming industry, this phenomenon is deployed to its fullest. Here people are mostly just like guys from small indie studios. However, sometimes it happens that the stick shoots, and cool game developers condescend to the people, helping ordinary people than they can, and not always for the purpose of self-promotion.

Bethesda received a letter from a 12-year-old fan named Wes, who has been struggling with a rare cancer for many years, and for the reason that his parents decided to stop treatment, he thought that he might not live to see Fallout 76. The company told him that they would gladly accept him, arrange excursions around the offices and let them play a game. You just need to come to a special open day, which the developers will arrange for the most needy and distinguished. However, the boy thanked him, but refused, saying that any active movements were painful for him. Then the representatives of Bethesda contacted his parents, and asked for a visit, which, of course, was given good. As a result, the guy came out, gave a bunch of souvenirs, as well as the collector's edition of Fallout 76, along with a copy of the game itself. Such a touching story.

The Techland studio once received a letter from a Dying Light fan, a certain marriott81, who planned to make an offer to his girlfriend, but would like to crank it out as unusual as possible, so he is willing to give any money if only the developers put something into the game. The fact is that the lady of the heart was also hacked into Dying Light. Maybe they met in the game, and maybe she got hooked later, but the facts are that two fans of the main Techland project are getting married - there is an opportunity to arrange a small celebration for themselves and the people. Igrodels conferred and created a separate mission specifically for the girl, who, during the implementation of the cooperative quest, reached the chest, inside which there was something like a card with a proposal of a hand and heart. Fireworks were rushing up to the sky, and the voice of the bridegroom’s pre-recorded voice asked the girl if she did not agree. Fortunately, the breakup did not happen, and, as the author of the idea reports, the future bride answered positively.

The creators of the MMORPG EVE Online decided to thank and perpetuate not just one, although there were probably such cases in the history of the game, but at once all the distinguished fans. Moreover, it was decided not to do this in the game, or, in some other interactive world, but in the reality itself, having established a real monument in the form of a triple obelisk, obviously of a cosmic nature. The five-meter monument was erected not far from the sea, in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. He was even given the name: Peace in the World. And on its surface were engraved not only the names of the most active players at that time (and this was 2014), but also those who had already retired to another world, if such information was confirmed. Since then, Iceland has received another tiny incentive to visit her as a tourist, for those who were not indifferent to this game.
