Interesting thought though it would probably have to be around 10 dollars and I think that would probably cut down the interest of promoters (and that's assuming the art and printing were done for free or cheap)

Hey gang! Leave it to our loyal promoters, the greatest game fans in the galaxy, to be socially conscious and share issues of concern during these challenging times. I am proud of you!
My intention in creating a bug game card was to support and provide a symbol for our collective efforts to be safe, stay indoors, play games, and have a positive attitude in the face of challenging times. An inspirational message that we can beat this thing; we can "Beat the Bug."
All of us cope with stress in our own ways. My life mission (and I am thrilled that it continues unabated thanks to you!) is to bring happiness and creativity to people's lives so they have a healthy outlet for the stresses they may encounter in the day to day grind.
I know this has been successful and to this day I receive messages from fans about how our games helped them get through tough times. I recently had a fan that had been suffering from severe depression and was even suicidal. He sent me a letter of thanks for giving him an outlet to get through the challenges he faced.
Pretty powerful stuff.
It is my belief that fantasy and escape bring a welcome cathartic release to many people, especially when focused on pro-social messages, but there may also be some who see things a different way. So I bring three possible outcomes to our illustrious fans:
1. Offer the card for free but only send to game fans that request a copy. Others who feel differently could just not order one.
2. I appreciate the thoughtful suggestion by Broc to identify a charity we could make a donation to, such as one that helps with medical supplies or Meals on Wheels (for seniors) or whatever would be beneficial.
3. Scrap the project. I'll lose money either way, so I can live with this because my goal was not revenue but to encourage safe practices.
So there it is! I will hear out the legions of fans (well, maybe not legions, but loyal promoters who seem like legions to me) on their thoughts.
In any event during these unprecedented times stay positive, keep supporting, be an inspiration, in other words keep fighting the good fight promoters! We are all in this together!
And don't forget to participate in our cool Beat the Bug indoor gaming community event coming in a couple weeks! Stay safe!

If the card has been printed, I say "send it". Anybody who doesn't want it can throw it.
If there is currently not a printed card, maybe a .pdf would be a good option.

I think send it to anyone who wants one. I agree and applaud the message of solidarity. The coronavirus has effected the whole world and I believe the world should be coming together in this trying time and things like this are a step in the right direction.
