11bitstudios, the Polish developer behind the anti-war game This War of Mine, will be donating all proceeds generated by the game and all of its DLCs on all platforms from the week of February 24 to March 2 to the Ukrainian Red Cross. In a message posted on their Twitter, 11bitstudios condemned the invasion and added "Just words would be empty without a meaningful act though" before pledging their money to help victims of the war in Ukraine. "Let this message resonate with everything you know about this war and how war kills people, devastates their lives and homes. Let us - players and developers together - do everything we can to support victims of war in Ukraine," ends the statement.

GOG, the storefront owned by Polish company CD Projekt, also announced on Twitter it would be donating its share of profits to the Ukrainian Red Cross as well on all sales of This War of Mine and its DLCs to the Ukrainian Red Cross as well. The game is currently $4.07 on GOG.

People are choosing their "side," but developers and publishers should stay away from politics. It's never a good thing when they butt in.
I generally agree, but since it's a rare instance of a non first world problem and actually ties in to the theme of the game I have to give it a pass.

Good Old Games have announced they will be donating their percentage of the sales of the game (they usually get 10% of each sale) to the Ukranian Red Cross.
Also, developers of "Slipways" will also be donating their profits to the "Help Ukraine" fund of Polish Red Cross, and GOG is donating their cut too.
So 100% of the sales of those games will be going towards aid to Ukraine.
