Thanks to the World of Warcraft community, the Roofus Pack raised more than $1.3 million USD for Habitat for Humanity, turning an in-game companion and cozy Housing Decor into real-world support for families and communities.

Given the pvp toy for the tournament, likely 1.2 mil of it.
According to the *info at the end of the article, zero thru the promo dates.

Interesting. So it was bought over 65,000 times?
Well good job to the WoW community regardless.
Also:
“*Now through May 12, 2026, 10:00 am PDT (18:00 BST), Blizzard Entertainment will donate 100% of the purchase price of “The Roofus Pack” digital bundle to Habitat for Humanity less any chargebacks, refunds, transaction fees, and Value Added Taxes (VAT), or other similar taxes paid.”
So allegedly it was 100% to the charity, none to Blizzard.

The Onion is a long running satirical website. Do not take that article seriously.
And congrats on the money for charity! I’m sure it will be put to good use.

Better than that one lady who sold her stuff for charity… then kept 95%.
They snuck in the “Bobby needs a new yacht” tax
Taxes are a government thing.
