If you've been streaming any length of time or been a community member in streams, chances are you've come across a charity stream. For the unititated, charity streams are a powerful tool to do good in the world and promote a positive image of the gaming community.
During charity streams, gamers can casually play games like at St. Jude Play Live or professionally like at Games Done Quick. Streamers can auction off file or character names, bonus runs, game difficulty, blindfolded runs, specific playthroughs, deletion of main game data, and much, much, more.
