Good Shepherd Entertainment, the market-leading investment platform and independent video game publisher formerly known as Gambitious, has put its entire library of published titles on sale for the lowest prices each respective title has ever been available for on Steam to benefit the One Gamer Fund during its inaugural charity weekend.
The One Gamer Fund is a new philanthropic initiative comprised of seven gaming nonprofits: AbleGamers, Child’s Play, Games for Change, Global Game Jam, the IGDA Foundation, Stack-Up and Take This. Between 10 a.m. PT (7 p.m. CET) on Sept. 21 to 10 a.m. PT (7 p.m. CET) on Sept. 25, half of all proceeds generated by purchases of Good Shepherd games after Steam’s share of revenue is factored will be donated directly to the IGDA Foundation on behalf of the One Gamer Fund and subsequently dispersed among all partnering nonprofits.
“There are so many people in the indie gaming community who are eager to help if you create the framework for them to do so. We’re truly excited for this opportunity to support the incredible group of humanitarian organizations represented by the One Gamer Fund, and we’re proud to do so alongside our many indie game development partners and Steam,” said Mike Wilson, Good Shepherd’s chief creative officer.
The complete list of Good Shepherd games on sale to support the One Gamer Fund includes:

About Good Shepherd Entertainment
Good Shepherd Entertainment publishes video games from independent artists worldwide and operates a proprietary investment platform for a growing global network of qualified investors seeking risk-mitigated participation in the $130B video game industry. Originally established in the Netherlands in 2011 as a crowd-financed platform under the name Gambitious BV, the company became a publisher in 2014 with the release of Train Fever, which was the first game ever successfully published with equity crowd-financing. The company has since funded and released over a dozen original games across eight digital platforms. The founders of Devolver Digital and Croteam, two very successful companies in independent game development and publishing, invested in the company and joined its management in 2012. The company rebranded in 2017 as Good Shepherd Entertainment following an investment by Advance/Newhouse, having established a track record of success with both independent developers and investors.
