Atomic Heart composer donates his royalties to humanitarian support for Ukraine
Mick Gordon, whose work you may have heard in Prey, Law Breakers, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Borderlands 3, announced on his Twitter account that he will respond to the Australian Red Cross appeal and donate his entire royalty for Atomic Heart to humanitarian support for Ukraine:
My musical contribution to #AtomicHeart will also support a greater cause. I've donated my fee to @RedCrossAU's Ukraine Crisis Appeal to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

If you're able to, please consider donating.

The composer says he is making the donation because he believes it is very important to "support organisations that advocate for peace, stand up for what is right and help those in need, especially in times of crisis". He also called on the world "to demand an end to this aggression and to stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people".
Atomic Heart will be released on 21st February, but we urge you not to buy the game as there have been many rumours surrounding it that player data will be shared with Russian special services, and because it was sponsored by the fully Russian government-controlled Gazprom (despite the developer's "Cyprus" origin).
