Once again AGDQ (Awesome Games Done Quick) has been postponed in person due to the worldwide pandemic. Therefore, Games Done Quick has decided to hold, once again this as an online event - Sunday to Sunday, to raise money for Prevent The Cancer Foundation!
GDQ is a semi-annual video game speed-run charity marathon held in the United States, originally organized by the Speed Demo's Archive and Speed-runs Live communities.The two main marathons AGDQ and SGDQ are both 7 day, 24 hours straight marathons that are streamed on Twitch and YouTube. Apart from the streams being in English, the last few years there has been a French, German and even a Russian re-stream with people giving up their own time to translate and commentate in their own native language.Since 2015, it has been handled by Games Done Quick, LLC. Held since 2010, the events have raised money for several charities; the most common two being the Prevent Cancer Foundation and Doctors Without Borders.
Few last random facts and info!
