The placement of that comma really irks me. Isn't "It may just be a game to you, but it means the world to us" the grammatically correct form? I'm somewhat surprised to see this in official communication from the Canadian Red Cross group.
I feel like I've seen this "post-but" comma more and more recently. I guess people feel like they would speak the sentence with a pause after the conjunction and therefore the comma goes there in writing.

#3Boycott this retarded organization. They're more concerned with defending their little symbol than helping those in need. The red cross was literally equivalent to "health" and that's why health kits that instantly healed you had this symbol on it. Way to destroy a brand. Stop terrorizing video game producers and focus on your mission again, morons.

They wanted to put emphasis on the pause?

It all makes sense but I am not sure if it has been submitted in response to some recent egregious misuse.

It seems they intended to make a pause after "but". For that purpose "..." instead of the comma, would actually fit better.

#7Games is the mirror of the real world. Also, games are art. You can't judge GTA for bringing people joy of killing virtual people.

Correct it does go before the conjunction, and an optional one after if you want to draw a pause.
