Minecraft livestreams video game design marathon for charity
Always the Good Guy Gregs, the creators of Mincraft — Mojang — will be livestreaming the creation of a new game for charity. The stream, which will be live until Sunday, will show the magnanimous Swedes creating a new game while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity during a 60 hour marathon. Those who would like to purchase the game can choose to donate any amount of money to the Electronic Frontiers Foundation, Child's Play, Charity: Water, and the American Red Cross.
