Each year, a community of players who have mastered the art of moving through virtual worlds at inhuman speed turns that mastery toward something larger than competition. From July 4 to 11, Games Done Quick will host its summer marathon online, channeling the collective energy of over 100 speedruns into donations for Doctors Without Borders — continuing a tradition that has, over eleven years, quietly become one of gaming's most earnest acts of generosity.
