SUMMARY:Zero Carbon Quest
DESCRIPTION:Midgard\, the leading carbon accounting platform for the game industry\, is excited to launch a new category of carbon accountable games. These titles\, made by developers or publishers that tracked their carbon emissions during development\, will be highlighted through an event on both GOG and Steam from Nov 19-27 and Nov 25-Dec 2\, 2024\, respectively.  \nThis event is taking a unique approach to sustainability in the game industry. Midgard’s event is featuring games that do not necessarily have an eco theme. Instead\, its sustainability aspect comes from the developers or publishers tracking and publicly disclosing their carbon footprint. It’s a line-up of more than 20 titles ranging from Kickstarter success stories like Spilled! and Atomic Owl\, to Finnish Game of the Year Nominee Lempo\, to indie hits like Paper Trail\, Don’t Scream\, & Songs of Silence. \nWith 72% of gamers being climate conscious\, Midgard believes that this event is the perfect way to shed light on an upcoming issue that most developers are not aware of: carbon disclosures. Starting in 2025\, game studios of a certain size have to start tracking their carbon emissions. Failure to do so can result in high fines and ineligibility to get grants and financing.  \nJerome Ibanez\, Founder at Midgard\, said: “Of the dozens of games that we have worked with\, only one or two have an explicit climate theme. We want to show the world that games can be made sustainably\, regardless of their story\, theme\, genre\, or size of a team. By supporting the titles in our line-up\, gamers can help to start doing their part in solving climate change by doing what they love the most – play games.” \nBartosz Kwietniewski\, Head of Business Development at GOG\, said: “At GOG\, as a proud part of CD PROJEKT Group’s sustainability efforts\, we believe in taking small but meaningful steps. From encouraging employees to walk or cycle to work\, to collecting old phones for recycling\, we’re committed to making a positive impact\, one initiative at a time. The group published sustainability reports in 2022 and 2023. That’s also exactly why GOG supports initiatives such as Midgard – to encourage bigger and smaller companies to talk more about their impact and what can we collectively do to change for the better.”Developers and publishers interested in joining the event are encouraged to submit their applications via this link. Zero Carbon Quest will be live on GOG from Nov 19-27 and Steam from Nov 25-Dec 2 2024 with both sales starting at 3PM  and ending at 9AM CET.
