IndieGameStand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IndieGameStand is a website that offers indie games for a pay what you want model,[1] where a portion of the proceeds go to charity.[2] However, unlike similar models, such as Humble Bundle, the games are not offered in a bundle. Instead, IndieGameStand features a new independent game every 96 hours.[3] The developers also can choose which charity to which they wish to donate a portion of the proceeds.[4]
