MIDGARD LAUNCHES CARBON ACCOUNTABLE GAMES ON GOG & STEAM

niceuser — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 11:03:01 +0000

Zero Carbon Quest Highlights Sustainability Pioneers in the Game Industry.

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS. 27th August, 2024 – 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 19-26 and Nov 25-Dec 1, 2024, respectively.

This 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.

With 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.

Jerome 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.”

Bartosz Kwietniewski, Head of Business Development at GOG, said: “For CD PROJEKT Group, that GOG is a proud part, care for the environment has always been part of its DNA. For the last couple of years, we have been investing in transforming the property complex which now houses our corporate HQ into a “green campus”. We introduced numerous eco-friendly solutions on-site, including the installation of electric car charging stations for the use of our employees and we invested in renewable energy sources with 400 solar panels deployed throughout our campus. The group has also published sustainability reports in 2021, 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.

The company recently raised £2M in its private sale of the tokens and the ICO runs through February 2022. The D6ix Tokens are designed to boost players ’earning potential by using the tokens for content creation, streaming games, tournament prizes, wagers and more. In an exciting way to motivate and enable fans to make money as well, fans can earn tokens by engaging with players and watching their content, making the D6ix tokens a win for everyone involved and essentially changing the Esports metaverse for good by maintaining good content and engaged fans leading to more sponsorships and advertising.

“We are literally levelling the playing field,” explains Division6ix CEO Olu Adenekan.

“The Esports industry is saturated with so many pro players and content creators that it’s a challenge for emerging talent to break through and make money from their passion,” he continues. “Our focus is the development of players from amateur to professional level and then giving them the tools to earn income, build a following and increase revenue opportunities.”

The company, which has been in existence since early 2020, established one of the first Esport Academies in the United Kingdom. The company ’s unique selling point is their offering of a platform for amateur players to uplift themselves into the esports industry.

The company’s free four-month tournament season begins in January which includes multiple games and tournaments with different prize pools ranging from cash prizes to NFTs to Gems and D6ix Tokens. The upcoming tournaments include:

The Division 6ix Academy Cup

Once players are registered and begin to participate in the season, they are ranked on the leaderboard according to their performance and placements.

Players can also request to get discovered for only a 100 D6ix in-game tokens which is an equivalent of £4.99. Once this request is submitted, wagers are then set up against some of the semi-professional players in Division 6ix to gauge their performances. If successful, they get drafted into one of the semi-professional teams.

The company has additional plans to expand the Division 6ix Ecosystem allowing more opportunities for players and their fans to build teams, earn income and more.
