Logitech Announced Its Donation! But...

If you recall, yesterday we told you about the aid streamers have been providing, and this time Logitech, a major brand in the gaming world, joined these donation efforts. However, the aid Logitech planned to give drew a lot of attention. After Netflix and Starbucks were criticized for announcing their support late, Logitech's own donation amount being seen as too small also sparked major backlash on social media. Following the criticism, Logitech first disabled comments on its post, and today deleted the post entirely. In its post, Logitech announced it would provide an initial $10,000 in aid to the region along with additional support. After that, most users criticized Logitech for finding the aid insufficient. Logitech announcing its support late, just like Netflix and Starbucks, was also among the points that drew attention.

As the Gamer Papers family, we want to note that we have no comment on this story; we believe we need to stand united in these difficult days.
