Each summer, a community of players who have mastered games beyond the intentions of their creators gathers — now virtually — to transform that mastery into humanitarian aid. From July 4 through July 11, Summer Games Done Quick will stream continuously online, channeling the spectacle of record-breaking play into donations for Doctors Without Borders. It is a quiet reminder that even the most niche human pursuits can find their way toward something larger than themselves.
