Most games are random and unknown to me but I see some interesting ones in the list.

Donations. There's a donate button below the stream.
The goal was set at 500K I believe, Money goes to the cancer foundation.
Donation tracker says they've reached 160k now.

I cannot find the donation button. What I can find, however, is a bunch of links to a website that doesn't even load. I must say, this seems fairly unprofessionally pulled off? Which actually surprises me, since they're featured on the front-page of Twitch.

I saw a couple of guys beat Hotline Miami in under 30 minutes. That was insane.

It's actually quite well done.
I'm not sure why the site went offline for a while but it was about an hour. It's back up again now.
Perhaps they used up more bandwidth than was anticipated, or something was up at the host

Anyway: here's the URL from the donate button if you still have issues detecting it...

Good to see the website up now. It was down for more than 10 hours yesterday, I can't believe they worked so slow. But then again, they were probably busy gaming, ya' know

Well... unfortunately for me the end of AGDQ was in the middle of the night, so I missed it

I see they reached $1.000.000, so that means they ultimately doubled the goal that was set
