Games Done Quick is a series of charity video game marathons. These events feature high-level gameplay by speedrunners raising money for charity. Games Done Quick has teamed up with several charities in its nine-year history, including Doctors Without Borders and the Prevent Cancer Foundation. We are currently the largest fundraising event globally for both charities!
I miss the older marathons. Everything was in person, which I feel had better energy. And the runs were simpler. I don’t really like 4-way races, or controller passing whatever. It’s all a gimmick as far as I’m concerned. I like paying attention to the games and how skilled the runners are.
I agree about some gimmicks like 2 players 1 controller, or playing games with a dance pad or whatever, they seem difficult but still feel like gimmicks to me
4-way races are ok if you’re familiar with the game and speedrun already, but otherwise hard to watch
