On November 16, 2021 Mikael Nermark would have turned 51. He was a 50-year old with a lot of life left to live. Unfortunately, cancer is something that affects many of us in one way or another and in this case, it has taken Mikael away from us far too early. From his passing it has become apparent just how many out there who knew and respected him, especially in the Games Industry, where Mikael had worked actively for decades. We are grateful for every word we’ve read about him in your memories. It’s been clear that Mikael’s presence made an impact, was felt and remembered from the first instance you met him.
We, friends & family, started the initiative to a Humble Bundle campaign in October 2021, to be able to grant Mikael’s wish to, in a significant and meaningful way, make an impact.
We had a vision to unite the games industry for a worthy cause to truly honor Mikael’s legacy of creating relationships across borders and time, a legacy that will hopefully stand the test of time many years to come. In partnership with Humble Bundle, the 100% donation campaign with 12 products donated from different companies in the games industry, went live February 4th 2022. Fittingly enough, February 4th is also World Cancer Day.
