In a charity auction benefiting the Immune Deficiency Foundation, a rare piece of FromSoftware memorabilia has surfaced: an Elden Ring poster autographed by director Hidetaka Miyazaki. Organized by YouTuber CDawgVA, known for his charity initiatives, the auction began with a modest $1 bid on July 12 but quickly soared to $12,600, largely driven by bids from influencers like Jacksepticeye and an anonymous competitor.
This surge in bids, surpassing earlier offers under $1,000, highlights the fervor among participants to support the cause.
CDawgVA addressed criticisms that the auction seemed dominated by wealthy YouTubers, emphasizing the diverse range of items available, including exclusive merchandise and experiences like a hangout session with CDawgVA and Twitch personality Ironmouse. The goal, he stressed, remains maximizing funds for charity while creating an enjoyable event.
Jacksepticeye expressed determination to secure the Miyazaki-signed poster, hinting at ongoing competitive bidding strategies. The auction is part of a broader charity event scheduled for July 19, featuring additional high-profile items such as a YouTube diamond play button from JaidenAnimations, currently valued at $3,050. Despite the astronomical bids, the community’s generosity underscores the collective effort to contribute to a meaningful cause.
