IndieGala, a game and music bundler similar to humble bundle, has selected the ablegamers foundation as its charity to support for the two week sale. This is bringing a ton of awareness to the cause. Thousands of people are seeing the blurb about ablegamers, talking about it on websites, and tweeting about it over twitter. Even some minor celebrities such as those from the WWE have tweeted about ablegamers thanks to this.

They believe in the idea that every gamer should have a right to play spectacular game regardless of disability or financial situation.”

The passion that they have for games and sales like this is inspiring.”

Please take advantage of and share this opportunity to own some wonderful games and help support a couple of great charities in the process.
