[Kotaku] DrLupo Raises Almost $1 Million For Charity In Just Four Hours

[Deleted member 18944]

GuardianCon, which began a few years back as a small Destiny con and has since grown into an all-weekend show held in July in Orlando, also runs a week-long charity stream. Which has just raised over $3 million for a children's hospital in Memphis.

As Forbes report, the stream operated in four-hour blocks, with streamers, teams and even some companies taking part. Bungie, for example, raised $400,000 in their four hours, but the big bucks really came in during Ben "DrLupo" Lupo's turn playing Fortnite, when over $920,000 was donated.

Jeez, Fortnite really does bring the big streamer bucks.

Good work

Dang, SGDQ will probably bring in around 2 million, and that's a week long, very involved event with tons of participants and staff. One guy doing half of that so quickly is nuts.

It's actually amazing for SGDQ given how niche the whole speedrunning scene is and how niche most, if not all, games that are showcased.

Yeah, I didn't mean to downplay Games Done Quick, which I watch each summer and winter, just giving a benchmark for how nuts this is.
