From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.British videogame retailer GAME is selling a limited edition copy of 2015 horror game Dying Light for a reasonable $10 million (£6.9 million).
Most 'special editions' of games usually include a fancy box, access to some DLC, and sometimes a small souvenir.
The 'Spotlight Edition' of Dying Light is slightly different - as well as getting four copies of the game for any platform, each of which is signed by the development team, the final buyer will also automatically get a 'supporting role' in the game's upcoming movie adaptation.
As well as a guaranteed speaking part in one of the film's action scenes, the buyer will get acting lessons, a world screening tour to every festival showing of the film, 'stuntman training' and an off-road driving course. Naturally, you get to keep the car once the lesson is over.
One of the other perks is a luxury personal trailer to stay in for the duration of the shoot, but oddly, you'll only get "three-star chef catering." For $10m, it seems a bit cheeky that the studio skimped on the food.
Clicking on the 'Buy' button on GAME's website opens a pre-written email, which says due to the "exceptional price and unique nature" of the game, would-be buyers need to get in touch with the game's developers, Techland, to arrange the purchase.
They also need to provide a copy of a bank statement that shows a balance of "at least" $10m. Buyers will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis, although quite what they'll really get it unclear - an all-caps disclaimer at the bottom of the page makes it clear that the details "do not constitute an offer within the meaning of the law"
Dying Light got fairly good reviews upon release, but given the previous quality of films based on videogames, the big-screen adaptation might not be as much of a hit.
However, if you've got money and fancy parting with it, there's worse things you could buy.
