Fall Guys Auction for Charity hits 1 Million

 

Fall Guys developer Mediatonic launched a charity auction last month to determine the sponsor of a new in-game cosmetic. After a rather long winded battle of bidders, four front runners came together to place a winning bid of $1 million (£745,000).

Ninja famous for his Halo 3 esports participation and in more recent years Fortnite, announced that he had "decided to team up" with YouTuber Mr Beast, esports organisation G2 Esports and in-game analytics provider Aim Lab, who had temporarily held high bids in the auction, for "a combined donation".

Mediatonic also confirmed that the four parties will each receive their own skin, stating that "we'll now sort out the donations while out artists start to collab with the winners on their skins". 

All four parts of the bidding team will continue to stream and raise money for the UK based charity Special Effect who help people with disabilities access games. 

"Our work is transformational and unique. Our team of therapists and technologists are determined that everyone, whatever their physical disability, should be able to share the fun, laughter and inclusion that video games can bring.

From controller mods to voice and switch controls, all our customised gaming setups are designed to suit the very specific individual needs of each person we help."

DOOM Eternal Twitch Prime

Those lucky enough to have a Twitch Prime account are used to reaping the rewards in a huge host of games. Cosmetics and boosters tend to be the style of giveaways that come with the subscription. 

DOOM Eternal previously had the DOOMicorn and now there is the Mullet Slayer. 

To most these will be pointless but to those of us in the VP community it gives a nice little extra for us to play around with. When I finally get Eternal, expect to see some shots of these bad boys over on my Instagram account.
