SimCity Red Cross DLC raising money for charity
Right, so you're unhappy when EA releases ads as free DLC for SimCity, or paid DLC, or DLC free with toothpaste, but what about DLC which helps charity? What's that? You won't pay $9.99 for some pointless Red Cross odds and ends? Oh, what a monster you are!
Nothing like camping out and watching meteorites rain down upon your home

Same, or even give it to a Humble Bundle that supports the Red Cross.

The Red Cross is hilarious when it comes to games - http://kotaku.com/5863817/war-crimes-in-video-games-draw-red-cross-scrutiny

It's no laughing matter! You know how much money the red cross spends to help the virtual victims of the latest CoD game? No? I didn't think so...

I wish the Red Cross would leave video games alone. The reason why the health packs in Sin Episodes: Emergence said "Freeport Trauma Recovery Center" was (IIRC) because the Red Cross was cease-and-desisting any game developer who was using a red cross (or any color cross) on their health packs. Most games moved to the six-spoke cross and/or Cerberus staff. Quake 4 was another title that went through this, as did the XBLA versions of Doom and Doom 2, IIRC.

God, the Red Cross is just AWFUL when it comes to "protecting their brand." Basically any 80s or 90s console title had a really high chance of being interfered with by the Red Cross if there were any crosses in the game at all, particularly US localized versions. Earthbound had to have major asset reworkings done because all the hospitals had (shocker) red crosses on them to denote they were hospitals.
Red Cross is as bad as Komen when it comes to aggressively suing people for ridiculous reasons. The only reason they haven't gotten the Komen treatment is because their organization actually does something.
