Sure - but what do the attendees of a gaming conference have to do with new oil wells being approved?
I suspect it’s for the publicity. Events like this attract different demographics than the usual targets, so it’s more exposure. It might not make the tabloids but it does get reported on.
Historically, any publicity has been seen as good publicity. But, given the reputation they are building, I think this is not how it is playing out.
So I agree, it just makes people with little to no power feel blamed. Time for a change of approach.
Digital terminals are a huge source of pollution for pure luxury, and gaming is a very good representation of the stupidity of the overconsumption society.

Certainly an interesting take.
Well you have ever more expensive hardware that uses ever more reolsources to run ever more expensive games that are ever more buggy and ever deeper into the uncanney valley.
Mobile gaming on the other hand is filled with shitty addictive games filled with ads and micro transactions to scam children and the elderly out of their money. Not that desktop/console games don’t also have addictive micro transactions either.
If this doesn’t feel stupid to you I don’t know what does.
