We got a little note today from Ensemble Studios, best known for the
Age of Empires series and currently creating
Halo Wars, stating that the company created an auction on eBay with all proceeds going to
Child's Play. The
auction involves everything you see above (essentially the whole
Age of series), signed by the Ensemble development team. Estimated value is $300 and as of this writing the bidding was at $280. You guys can push that up -- it's for charity!
We spoke with Ensemble Studio's Producer Brian Lemon to find out why the company decided to do this. He explained that the studio already donated something similar to the Child's Play auction which occurred in Seattle, but wanted to give its fans around the world a more public opportunity to win the package. To show its commitment, Ensemble made worldwide shipping of the bundle free. A nice idea for a good cause.
