FRIDAY THE 13 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 The bird soars across the sky and as you watch its progress on your phone you're probably not thinking about saving the planet. But that's about to change. The developers of Angry Birds 2 and 10 other major mobile-games makers have committed to introducing environmental messages into their titles. As well as the famous flying birds, po[CENSORED]r games like Golf Clash, Subway Surfers and Transformers: Earth Wars are part of the project. "There's something like three billion people with mobile phones and half of them are gamers," says John Earner, boss of Space Ape who make Transformers: Earth Wars. "As an industry, we have a massive reach in comparison to other entertainment mediums. "We feel like there is an opportunity and increasingly an imperative for us to do something." John helped organise a "game jam" - where games companies brainstorm new ideas - with the United Nations Environment Programme earlier this year. It asked how games can educate and engage people on green issues, and inspire them to help save the planet. The 20 warmest years on record have been in the past 22 years, with 2015-2018 making up the top four. https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-53808488 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
