This radiant little kitty can be yours now! You can also gift her to a friend to spread the love.
For more information about Make-A-Wish, visit wish.org.
100% until the end of the month. pretty good, but i wonder how many will still buy it afterwards, thereby netting blizz a tidy revenue stream.
Even buying it during this month nets Blizz a revenue stream. They take your money and donate it -- thus giving them all the donation tax benefits :P (like when McDonalds donates the change you donated ... you aren't getting credit for that donation!)
BUT still cool that they do it because they could just not do that and people would still buy it.
and who will check how many digital mounts have been sold? What guarantees us that really 100% will go for charity? No one of course, and I tend to not trust activision.
Sorry to say that, but the "Make a wish" foundation is a show event that just should not be funded.. better give the money to organizations that really help.. as like the red cross.
