Sega Donating Revenue from Their F2P Games to Nepal Earthquake Recovery Effort

On April 25, Nepal was hit by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake, killing over 5000 people and injuring twice as many. In order to help the country and its people recover from the disaster, Sega has now announced that they will be donating two million yen, to be administered by the Japan Red Cross. Additionally, they will be donating revenue obtained from in-game purchases of four of their free-to-play games, namely Phantasy Star Online 2, Chain Chronicle, Hortensia Saga and Puyo Puyo!! Quest. Out of the four games, only Chain Chronicle is available in the west, but the donations appear to be tied to the Japanese version. In Phantasy Star Online 2, all the money from in-game purchases of the cosmo atomizer item (up until May 31) will be donated to the recovery effort. For the other titles, similar donations will be announced in-game, and will run from May 1 to 11:59 p.m. on May 3.

For those looking to make a donation of their own, the Better Business Bureau has a webpage with a list of charities.
