GOOD NEWS!- French Gamers Breaking The Stereotype - A Fund Raiser Through Streaming For IRMA Victims
Who says gamer is of only capable of spending hours cursing cyka blyat, eating fries, pizza, drinking soda while also being anti-social?
Say no more! French Gamers surely know how to break those stereotype.
Below we will witness a truly noble initiative from french gamer's community in order to take part of making the world a better place.
As we all know, currently there's devastating storm which impact the southeastern coastal of United States and leaving a trail of destruction. People had to be evacuated from their home and they had to deal with power shortages. The news were spread all over the internet and people were praying for victims. Some people were also sharing their conditions and tips all over steemit while facing IRMA Hurricane.
On the other side of the world, French Gamers are noticing this devastating natural disaster thus initiating a fund raiser to help the victims partnering with red cross organization.
ZeratoR, a french streaming and eSports company initiated a fund raiser for IRMA victim by organizing a streaming party lead by Adrien Nougaret, aka ZeratoR. During the event, 30 streamers gathered for a weekend to play and collect the maximum amount of funds to be allocated for Red Cross Organization. As a result, In total of 50 hours, Z event has collected more than 450k € and received appraisal from French President, Emmanual Macron as he twitted :
Bravo et merci à toute la communauté ZEvent qui a permis de lever plus de 450k€ pour la @croixrouge ! Irmahttps://twitter.com/ZeratoRSC2/status/907004028860723202 …
However, This is not the first time gamers gathered for a good cause. Last year, under ZeratoR, a project named The Avengers was held in order to help Ethiopian which collected up to 170k €. The community bond is surely strong given that eSports is currently popular mainly among youngsters. And such initiative could become an example for gamers all around the world to not only play but could contribute in making the world a better place.
Truly big salute to everyone who has involved in the project especially for French Gamer's community for its noble initiative helping IRMA victims.

I agree that this an amazing initiative, but still gamers are just people who give up their lifes to enjoy alternative life
I love games and i am a type of person who can stay behind a consol for 40 hours continuously, but I don't do that, because it's irresponsible
Still it doesn't mean that gamers are bad, no they are just people who let go to the gaming desire take over their lifes
Such wonderful story about the positive things in our digital world <3
@kerlund74 Exactly, this is something I wanted to see more in our digital world <3
