immigration ban has prompted a fast response from two of the bigger
names in the world of
video games: Vlambeer and Playdots.
Starting at 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, Vlambeer — the Dutch studio behind
Ridiculous Fishing,
Luftrausers, and
Nuclear Throne — pledged to donate all revenue from the subsequent 24 hours to the American Civil Liberties Union. Co-founder Rami Ismail **ted that the donations were prompted by the ACLU's "opposition to the #MuslimBan."
