Game Only is the association that brings together companies in the video game industry within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Founded in 2021 by a dozen companies with the goal of advocating for their interests, Game Only now includes 120 companies, developers, and video game publishers. Game Only's primary role is to advocate for its members' interests with public authorities and support them in achieving stable and sustainable growth. Beyond purely economic and growth-related issues, Game Only provides its members with services to help them prepare for and adapt to major changes in the industry.
In joining Playing for the Planet, Game Only takes the following commitments:
- Reduce our emissions in line with a Net Zero target for 2040, and a science-based pathway to achieving it year-over-year.
- Inspire action through the inclusion of sustainability-related contents in the events organised by our association, or to which we participate, aligned with best practice showcased in Playing for the Planet’s Sustainable Games Events Guide.
- Increase transparency on the environmental impact of making and playing games for our members and the community as a whole, through the improvement of our environmental impact calculator (Jyros).
- Contribute to industry research on the environmental impact of digital entertainment and help provide science-based recommendations for actionable improvements.
- Actively engage our game members to reduce their carbon footprint and to take part in the Green Game Jams and other activities promoting sustainability to their gaming audience, and support recruitment of new members from our network into the Alliance.
