Opera GX announced today that it’s partnering with TikTok for the #GamingForAll Challenge to benefit AbleGamers, a non-profit organisation dedicated to using gaming to foster … read moreinclusive communities and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Opera GX, ‘the browser for gamers’, is on a mission to enable all users to pursue their passion for gaming, no matter what their goals or abilities. That’s why they’re teaming up with visually impaired Street Fighter champion BlindWarriorSven to inspire gamers to challenge themselves to overcome their personal obstacles - no matter what they are. At the center of the campaign is blind professional gamer Sven van de Wege – better known by his opponents as BlindWarriorSven – who lost his sight to cancer when he was just six years old… but never lost his love of gaming. With grit and dedication, Sven was able to teach himself to play by relying solely on his hearing, memory and an undying determination. Sven inspired the brand to launch the Opera GX #GamingForAll Challenge: A unique TikTok challenge in which Opera GX dares gamers to challenge themselves by playing their favourite game without the use of their sight, just like Sven. For every upload on the platform, the brand will make a donation of $0.5 USD to AbleGamers. To get the word out about the activation, which was created by Madrid-based ad agency Officer & Gentleman, the brand is launching a promotional video featuring BlindWarriorSven. The spot tells Sven’s unique story and shows how he challenged himself to not only play again, but to become the best.
