Bethesda Donates $1,000,000 to COVID-19 Relief Efforts

Bethesda Softworks, ZeniMax Media and our global family of studios want to do more than keep you entertained and connected through our games during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the impact of this health crisis being so great and widespread, we want to help by donating to an array of international and local charities which are directly involved with COVID-19 relief efforts. We plan to donate $1,000,000 to the following front-line organizations.
  • $500,000 will be given to Direct Relief, a charity which is directly involved in COVID-19 relief efforts, including the critically important work of providing personal protective equipment to health care workers.
  • $250,000 will go to UNICEF, which partners with front-line responders around the world to keep children and their families safe and protected.
  • $250,000 will be donated to local COVID-19 relief efforts within the communities where we work and live. These recipients will be chosen by our individual studios and international offices. This way we can support worthy charities fighting COVID-19 in our local communities across the world.
As we continue to stay home, we're committed to finding ways to connect with our fans, fellow gamers, and local communities through our #BethesdaAtHome campaign. We'll be streaming from our home offices - and we'll offer you the opportunity to help out the same charities we're supporting. Check out Bethesda.net or our social channels for updated stream schedules, or tune in to Twitch.tv/bethesda.
Whether it's playing games, watching streams, or however you're choosing to stay active during these challenging times, we encourage you to find ways to stay connected to others while we continue to observe social distancing guidelines in an effort to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Bethesda did nothing, all they did is leech money from cows in the Atom Store.

I wonder how many institutions donate to various causes that don't make it public theatrics. Some sort of unnecessary public relations stint here.

Everybody gives free stuff to the only people who are guaranteed a good income I noticed.

And private entities paying for PPE for people working in industries that make a LOT of money (like US hospital in particular) seems insane to me.
And I don't think a lack of money is the issue for those workers getting their PPE, it's an issue of the demand temporarily exceeding the supply.
And frankly the lack of adaption to those circumstances in the run-up to running out.
