Erin Robinson Swink, developer of the recently released, hand-painted physics game, Gravity Ghost, has a simple reason driving her passion for green energy and environmental advocacy: asthma. "I remember how awful it was needing an inhaler as a kid," she says of the air pollution -- driven in large part by burning coal -- that contributed to her respiratory disease.
Today, Robinson Swink is combining these two facets of her life with a three-day live-streaming event, which just kicked off, called Beat the Dev on Twitch. The event sees developers behind titles like Borderlands 2, Uncharted 3, Super Meat Boy, Octodad, Nuclear Throne, Journey, Darksiders II and 17 others playing their own games against a lineup of live-streamers. Donations made during the event will benefit The Sierra Club and its clean-air, green-energy advocacy efforts.
