I never thought that gaming would have such an effect on climate change. It makes perfect sense but you wouldn't think of it. Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for your comment! Isn’t it surprising? But when one looks at the numbers, it does make sense. I am happy that I could spread awareness about the topic.

I never even considered this as an issue! I really think if the games could start with awareness and maybe having sort of a self destruct timer where after a set amount of time not being used it removes itself and its data from a users phone could be super useful!

I am so sorry for my late reply! I did not get any notification for this comment! Luckily I scrolled back here to wonder if this post has gotten any reads. Thank you for your comment! I am happy that I could share awareness about this topic. To my mind that kind of setting would be super useful for a phone as well! I know that the new PlayStations have very good settings for that. In addition, there are some games that promote environmental awareness, but I think they are still on rather small scale, because it is so new issue. But it is getting better and better!

Have you ever thought about sustainability while playing games?
