Out of respect for the George Floyd memorial on Thursday afternoon, videogame publisher Rockstar announced it will temporarily shut down online access for its games for two hours.
Floyd died at age 46 in Minneapolis after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes. Three other officers were on the scene, two of which restrained Floyd. All four cops have since been taken into custody and charged following nationwide protests and rioting, with Derek Chauvin now facing a second-degree murder charge.
Many game studios and publishers have issued statements of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, while others announced financial donations to social justice organizations. House House donated $10,000 to community bail funds and mutual aid funds, Niantic split $20,000 between the NAACP and Black Lives Matter, and Riot Games announced an unspecified amount to organizations that support "nationwide criminal justice reform," "longer-term solutions for systemic change to address racial bias," and "local communities with a focus on black-owned businesses.
