ing all these folks that two of the biggest video game players in the market, Valve and Epic, couldn’t even be graded since they release absolutely no data or information about their climate impact, nor have they made promises to address it in the future.
This chart from the report shows that a company’s size doesn’t need to correspond to how quickly they’re trying to decarbonize.It’s important to note that what’s contained in this report is just a general, over-arching picture, one that is already out of date and which can’t take into account advances some companies have made since.
Hope Yosuke sees this, champ.
Good for them
Whoever got paid to make that graphic gets paid too much
I bet allot of companies are if it doesn't directly affect them or they aren't affecting it much.
Maybe because it’s fake.
Good.
Because when I think of the climate, I always wonder 'Why isn't EA doing more?'
Good
Report: big game blogs like Kotaku are ignoring their roots not bringing politics into video games.
Also proof?
Didn't Square Enix make a game called Outriders, where humanity destroyed Earth in a climate fueled war?
Not clicking that (obviously) but I hope the writer is able to use this platform to further his career before the site inevitably goes under as a result of his shit writing
No. Edrybody that still have a brain ignore it.
Kind of like Kotaku ignoring actual video game journalism.
Good. You sun monster cultists have been wrong about everything and it's past time we ignored you.
So what, they’re games and they are there to escape. Entertainment should not be the place to learn of or about climate.
What is it this time? Global 🌎 warming or Global cooling it keeps changing every time your wrong. Listen Humans don't have say when the world ends or lives thats up to God so I think we are ok
What the Heck is this to do with a gaming sight?
Climate change is fake news
Good.
Those 2 companies carbon footprint is minuscule compared to many other things. report real gaming news ffs.
Not as much as sock manufacturers. It's disgusting!
They also lack diversity cuz their CEO's aren't transgenders
Here comes a woke article…
Kotaku is now blocked
The worst polluters on the planet Are cryptocurrency Miners! They use huge amounts of electricity, produce exactly nothing. It's fake money, for fake use, for criminals.
thank god they are not falling for that scam
A recent movie had a special feature about an employee that was in charge of recycling crap. That video was apparently for Kotaku because the rest of us have other problems.
Shut up Kucktaku.
And everyone is ignoring Kotaku.
Kotaku still loves posting bad articles it seems
Oh hold on I'll fix the headline 'square Enix isn't worshiping us so time to slam them'
Game journalist like Kotaku are ignoring game reviews
FF7 literally opens with ecoterrorism and ecosystem collapse is a heavy handed theme of the entire game as your clickbait article preview picture shows But okay They're ignoring it because not every waking breath of the company isn't pushing the message
Nice
Smart
Who tf is approving these tweets?
Good.
Soytaku.
muh climate change 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good! I wish everyone would! Tired of hearing about it! Can't do anything about farting cows and continually erupting volcanoes, so not a lot can be done if the climate decides to change.
Is this some sort of joke?
Report: Kotaku continues to spew useless information.
So what? They make games.
Why the hell should they focus on climate change.. they're game companies
Square's been on a roll lately.
They should outsource all of their production to China. Problem solved.
I love the implication that if Roblox paid more attention to the environment we'd all be in a better way.
I miss the good ol days when game journalists reported on games and not politics and culture war issues.
Kotaku is so gay
Go out of business all ready.
Good.
Every Kotaku article is just parody at this point.
And that's a good thing!
lmao did they repost the same shot
Lmao bro how do you guys even exist anymore haha wow.
Its almost like they are a VIDEOGAMES Company. Why are you going full deranged smear piece propagandist? Are you being paid or are you that brainwashed into hating people for free?
Since when are video game companies held responsible for major economical, political, or environmental concerns? That's like expecting 7-11 to broker peace in the middle east.
They shouldn't care, make better games, not the planet.
Outlets like Kotaku are ideological culture police. They serve no legitimate purpose.
Who the fuck cares?
I hope they ignore you too. You have little of value to offer at present.
This just in. Kotaku still uses cars and eats food developed in some part at a factory. They choose to resist climate change!
Wonder how many clicks this trash ass bait headline actually generates.
You mean cycles... 🤦
What in the flying fuck is Roblox supposed to do?
the solution is simple, just ignore Greta Thumberg and go nuclear to gain time for space colonization.
Based Square Enix/Roblox
They're game companies, not environmental specialists
So what's your plan to stop them, then? You got an idea?
Lol They make video games. Your job is journalism about vidro games. Do better
So am I.
Because their industry is making games, not trying to profit on fearmongering.
'The Gamer's Guide' to being an asshole is all Kotaku seems to be. Virtue signal deez nuts.
No wonder I haven’t visited your site in like 5 years. Wow, it’s gotten bad.
No shit, they're game companies, as u said lmaooo
Game companies are for games.
Cringetaku
JimSterling reported this way before you did. Step up your game, Kotaku!
So is China. Go report on that.
Probably because their job is to make video games
Good, they can focus on their games better that way.
This is retarded
I hope they burn a tire for every game they sell
......so?
Oh ... another 'the massage'
probably because climate change isn't really that big of an issue.
Yeah? So is the climate.
...and?
Good. I'd prefer they focused on making good games instead of ESG bullshit
Ok Kotaku
The games are more real than climate change.
Eh... Videogames?
...So?
KOTAKU = trash Worthless garbage
This is a special kind of stupid
I don’t care. I wouldn’t care if all the devs drove hummers to work separately. Just make good games that work on launch.
Good, they make games, not your political propaganda.
Sorry Kotaku but you guys are a joke. Everyone is some way contributes to climate change. I doubt you guys walk to the office and back home.
Amazing, always loved Square Enix
We must hold Roblox accountable for climate change!!!! If Roblox didn't exist, we'd all live in paradise!!
This is a joke?
Good. Games are not supposed to be about woke social issues.
....and this worth anyone's time?
BALA
So?
Report: 'journalists' trying their best to stay relevant.
Isn’t FF7 about hurting the planet chaosprimeZ
sameeeeeeeee as me.
Tf they gonna do? Make Climate Killers the game
They make games? What are they supposed to do?
Good, because it's a tax scam. You're welcome.
And? Like for fucks sake it’s a game company, not the news.
Why do they call themselves “ gamers guide “ it’s just woke crying
Shut up
Yea because it's a hoax
stop reposting your trash non stop, third time ive seen this and im still not gonna read it.
Slow news day today Kotaku?
Roblox is a dystopian hellscape or a company that tries to scam children
Lmao slow day?
Take all of that propaganda and shove it up your ass.
B4 & different aspect/view 👅 Those who know, know😺 Happy Christmas 🎅🎄🎁☮️🤟🐈⬛
They make video games, they're not ecoscientists. What are they going to do anyway
Get blocked
So? These are companies that make games they don’t need to worry about that BradleyConfused
Based
So 3rd time posting this article? Good luck!
Its because it doesnt exist. No one likes you anymore Kotaku.
You’ll pitch just about anything now huh?
Good.
Climate change 😆
ok
How many times are yall mfs gonna keep posting the same old ass articles this month?
Are you going to post this everyday? I’m just blocking you Jesus Christ already
They’re not as big as your virtue signaling penalty squad make it out to be
So are the kotaku employees
Report: Gaming media outlets like kotaku are ignoring gaming news to bring us this shit.
Ok I understand but you don’t have to post this every 5 minutes
No, they’re just ignoring Kotaku
Because its a hoax
you're gonna be really shocked when you find out what oil and gas companies have been up to
Kotaku, such a sad excuse for game 'journalism'.
Why should they care? What are they supposed to do about it? Why do you think that SHOULD be a focus for a company that creates escape fantasies for childr- -Oohh. Nevermind. I know why you want to push this, now.
Weird that the companies that care most about climate change, care least about their employees...
So you're telling me large corporations don't give a shit about the environment. Shocker
Long overdue to mute/block kotaku, I suggest you all do the same to stop giving them your eyes.
People actually get paid to write this nonsense 😂
Seriously kotaku.....do you have staywoke shirts in your headquarters too?
Didnt expect to see square enix and roblox in the same sentence. Lol
……good 😂
Bro the government should be caring about climate change not fucking Roblox 💀
Roblox
Climate change isn't even real
Their job is to create video games. Not commentary on the world or its politics
Kotaku tries to blame climate change on Square Enix and Roblox. I never cease to be amazed at the articles here.
But nobody blames the celebrities who fly there million dollar jets just to go 2 miles 🤣
Because we know everyone at kotaku is living a ethically, moral life while they use products safe for the planet. Kotaku to square pr “do you have codes for FF16 yet?”
Me too tbh
I just can’t with you.
Like I said we are going to fight back the corporations that's the only way we can win
W companies
'kotakus dying cloud' and will say any ol shite to desperately try and stay relevant 🤮
Who gives a shit? I expect Video games from them. Nothing more.
cement foundation there just gfor trucks top back up means they have been doing this for a while... large companies dont give a damn so why should we.
This whole 'woke' angle you guys at are trying to play...its not working. Its sad and desperate.
can someone tldr this
GeE, i WoNdEr WhY?
it's only a game, it's not affecting the world that we live in, its pixels on a screen, you got a be in your bonnet about square enix criticising FF16 diversity 2 FF7 remake climate there only pixels on screen and people enjoy playing these games
Report: Kotaku too.
Cool. Now do China.
You just keep posting this huh? Not enough traction last time 😂🤣😂🤔☠️
And
Always trying to force gaming companies to not only engage in politics against their will, but to force them to share your views only. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
So?
What would you like them to do?
No one gives a shit.
Uh… k?
Oh no. anyway……
I will now ignore climate change because of this horrible article
I guess they are too busy focusing on that whole “making video games” thing they do
🆒🖖
Tf they gon do?
FUCKEN SHINRA
Ill vow to click on your articles 1000 times a day if you fire all the people you have that write articles like this
70% of toilet paper gets covered in poop, you should print your articles so we could wipe our butts with them instead.
If you told me the roblox servers ran off coal mined and shoveled by 12 year olds, who were locked in a pyramid scheme to get 6 year olds addicted to roblox to also end up in the mines. I'd believe it.
Because it doesn't exist
Why are you like this?
Kotaku moment
Uh... how could they possibly do anything about that? They're not a government, they don't run any factories, in the case of S-E they live in evironmentally friendly city apartments, and commute via public transportation. It's like complaining that the electrician isn't a plumber
Imagine how much all the afk cat girls in Limsa contribute climate change.
Yeeeeeee save gaia
Capitalists are not going to eliminate Climate Change. Especially not video game companies. They need to continually keep the machine going otherwise everything collapses. Even if it displaces millions down the line, they will keep it turned on. That's the cruelty of Capital.⛈️
What? I’d be confused but then I remembered what happens if you research the chain of ownership of these Journalism companies. Banks and people who want power own them. There is nothing genuine about these articles it’s all incentivized. They don’t give a heck about gaming.
I'd say SquareEnix was ahead of its time, actually. FFVII MakoEnergy Shinra FF7
Considering climate change is a crock of shit for the most part...
Kotaku is ignoring journalism standards.
Just because they made final fantasy 7 doesnt mean they should
They only worry about themselves. They don't care if the climate is changing.
Maybe it’s because they are an entertainment company that creates video games rather than a PAC that focuses on these issues. You guys are no longer relevant in video game journalism. Just start writing all political articles and cover government news and move on.
I mean, these kinds of comments or articles towards the game companies are not really helping imo. I'd give a fxck that whether the companies comply with those ESG, all I concern is just the game itself. Gaming industry is unique that substitutions are difficult to find.
cum
final fantasy will fix climate change
Good. Sky was supposed to fall like 20 years ago. I’m tired of hearing about it.
Bruh
The fuck does climate change have to do with video games?
You remember when Kotaku actually wrote about video games? Because it has been a very long time ago. I still hope that one day they will go back to their roots.
I am guessing there ESG score wasn’t high enough for the mob, SMH. Because gaming once was a beautiful way to escape this clown world. Even if this story has nothing to do with the games they make.
Are you serious?
posts like this are why I stopped paying attention to gaming websites. Why is it so hard for people to stay in their lane. Everything is politics with you people. It’s nauseating. so Sad what gaming media has become.
WTF is wrong with you guys? All you try to do is write clickbait political articles.
I'll translate 'Big game companies like Square Enix and Roblox choose not to destroy themselves over crazy alarmism' one thing to be good custodians of the planet quite another to cry apocalypse tomorrow for 50 years straight.
Is the the Onion?
Is Kotaku based in Portland? Wtf is with these horrendous articles…
So fucking what?
Slow news day huh?
Roblox been ignoring all the predators in its platform including its own devs so like yeah
Isn't that nice Tencent is doing their part while their CCP overlords are opening up new coal plants and planning to raise GHG emissions until 2050!
Climate change would have happend with or without us, guess what? Co2 levels used to be five times higher then today and the world didn’t fall apart and kill everything.
And what are game companies going to do about it?
🙄
pls stop.
Don't they know the sea levels will rise 20 feet by 2014 according to Al Gore? Also BarackObama recently purchased a multimillion dollar beachfront home so we should definitely warn him.
Kotaku really doesn’t have much to write about now that they’ve been blacklisted by most publishers
Gaming companies should be leading the charge on climate change? Reaching yet again with this
And?
Well climate change inevitable. All we’re trying to do is slow down our impending doom that many people and companies don’t give two shits about. They lie and say things to sound like they’re doing a lot so they can get public “good job points” or even capitalize off it
Square Enix thinks climate change is a work of fantasy
Every company is ignoring climate change. They're just paying lip service. Just like they do when they pretend to care about gay people, just like when they pretend to care about black people. Corporations only care about money. Believing they care is exactly what they planned.
Are they run by Trump cultists?
and that’s why they’re dead companies
