The Watch The War of the WorldTrump administration's immigration ban has prompted a fast response from two of the bigger names in the world of video games: Vlambeer and Playdots.
Starting at 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, Vlambeer -- the Dutch studio behind Ridiculous Fishing, Luftrausers, and Nuclear Throne -- pledged to donate all revenue from the subsequent 24 hours to the American Civil Liberties Union. Co-founder Rami Ismail noted that the donations were prompted by the ACLU's "opposition to the #MuslimBan."

More recently, he's turned his attention toward the increasingly divisive efforts of the Trump administration; this was highlighted in a string of tweets on Saturday.

Ismail also used his Twitter platform to highlight the anti-immigration ban efforts of Playdots, the studio behind mobile hits Dotsand Two Dots. A newly deployed update for Two Dotsdoesn't point to Trump's executive order specifically; instead, it asks users to "join us in stand up for civil rights" with ACLU donations.
The pop-up message, pictured in a tweet below from Playdots CEO Paul Murphy, includes a button that links directly to the ACLU's donations page.

An hour before that tweet went out, Murphy turned to his followers with a request for help. He wanted advice on "the best place to direct a few million people to in protest of #MuslimBan."
Vlambeer and Playdots aren't alone in their gaming-centric acts of protest, either.
Cardboard Computer is also turning to fans for aid in an act of protest. The studio's Kentucky Route Zerois currently 50 percent off, with all revenue going to the ACLU. Cardboard's tweet also includes a direct link to the ACLU donation page, for those that would prefer to go the extra mile.

If you know of any other game developers, publishers, or public figures engaged in an act of protest, get at me directly on Twitter. DMs are open.
