    Don't play the game but good for them to offer in-game methods to then help out real-life tragic events. Even if it's small amounts hopefully it all helps & gets to those in need.

    Renoaku took the words right out of my mouth. Make sure that 100 PERCENT of the money is donated ONLY to that cause, and that there are no "administrative fees". I don't trust Kakao one bit.

    I wouldn’t have a problem with that if they donated the sales and also matched it.

    Anyways good on them.

    I will sound like a giant prick but here i go,
    I don't know Australia but i avoid to help with money Turkey . Why? Because i live in Istanbul. I'm not gonna chatter about politics but the official help organization (Kızılay) in Turkey is corrupt to the bone. Also we learnt Earthquake protection taxes which started to taken 21 years ago, adding to presidents fund to other uses. Donate clothes or stuff if you want but avoid money.

    OzzY took my words! Many days prior. Turkish relief organizations are well known for mis using money to buy strippers and shit.

    It's up to you. Last week, we learnt a company close to president donate Kızılay a 8m$ and Kızılay send it to another foundation which presidents sons are in charge. Punchline is, sending money to Kızılay don't get taxed. So company just stole tax with using Kızılay. Best part is, manager of Kızılay ignored his position and defended the tax stealing company and said "It's not tax stealing, it's tax avoiding".

    To all the people complaining: who cares how much they're donating? It's not their fault if some of it goes through corrupt government or whatever you think. They're donating money to a great cause, be grateful... for once
