Grappling with Gaming's Environmental Sustainability Issues "The global emissions of the games industry is 50 to 100 million tonnes of CO2. This equals the footprint of Sweden or Norway," said the SGA.

Between e-waste, rare materials, logistics, and now genAI, gaming's impact on the global climate is significant.

We speak to the Sustainable Games Alliance, Playing for the Planet, the Videogame History Foundation, and more to understand what's happening and what they're trying to change.

Agreed. It is especially sad when other artists call their work "content" without a second thought. I have a little rant on this coming out soon from Unwinnable.

Quick reminder that declarations of technological inevitability are declarations of power; they are intended to make individuals
feel like they don't have the power to refuse a technology. It's a narrative intended to produce a power effect pretending to be a descriptive statement.

You and me both! It is so passive and a relinquishing of labor to platforms and their owners.

The amount of important things about games, industry, and life that I've learned from Brenda, following her career and work and advocacy and activism and mentorship and involvements from afar - but also the times we've crossed paths for work, is staggering.

I took the NYC workers' driving exam when I was a Parks employee & the instructors decided schedule the test on the day of the UN General Assembly. Long story short, due to traffic we were stuck on the Queensboro Bridge for over 3 hours. We all ended hating each other. Never drive on that day!
