Received the email below from Super Rare Games this morning. I'm not personally familiar with Etika's work, but every suicide is a tragedy. MIND is an incredible charity helping sufferers and raising awareness of mental health issues in the UK. If you have ever been tempted to buy one of SRG's t-shirts, now would be a great time.
Hello!
I hope that you are having a great day so far. I am writing this newsletter to inform you about a charity event that we are running for the next 7 days. As some of you may know, the Nintendo influencer, Etika, was found dead yesterday after taking his own life. Amongst his possessions when he died was his Nintendo Switch. He loved the console as much as all of us and it breaks my heart that we have lost someone to suicide.
In aid of this, I really wanted to try and raise money for a great mental health charity, Mind. All proceeds for the next 7 days on all sales of any Super Rare T-shirts will go directly to the charity.

The T-Shirts are incredibly high quality and I practically live in them! For the small price to donate, you will receive this great item whilst also knowing that all the money will be going to an incredibly good place! Super Rare Games will make no money from any purchases and will all go to charity.
On a personal level, I will also donate £200 on-top of the money we receive through all generous purchases made.
And to anyone reading this who is struggling, I think we often forget how interlinked our existences are and how many people care about us all. If you are not feeling well, please talk to someone. You are never a burden and those that love you will always be there <3. If anyone ever needs to vent, I am always here and I hope that our games can give you all some level of enjoyment. My emails are always open and I care about each and every one of you that has supported this company. Before Super Rare I was in a very dark place and thanks to you all I am no longer there.
Speak soon,
All the best,
George Perkins
