Charity Skin

Developers are launching thematic skins to raise funds for philanthropic causes

Trend - In the gaming category, a 'skin' refers to the outfit of a character. It promotes a more customizable and immersive experience by placing emphasis on aesthetics. With the popularity of skins in mind, developers are creating outfits and characters that will raise awareness and funds for different charities.

Insight - Consumers look to give in accessible ways and are often much more receptive to initiatives that offer something small in return. The tie of shoppable objects to fundraising efforts allows individuals to feel justified about their purchase as they are able to get what they want, but are also assured that their money will go toward supporting a good cause.
Workshop Question - How could your brand appeal to the interests of consumers to raise awareness?
Trend Themes

3. Charitable Gaming Skins - Game developers are enabling players to donate to various charitable institutions by purchasing gaming skins and other related items.
4. Awareness-raising Gaming Skins - Concept artists are creating gaming skins that bring awareness to global events and issues.
Industry Implications
