JAKARTA - The Climate Replay Group has launched a new online pledge to ensure that NFT is used responsibly in video games.

The pledge calls for developers and publishers to commit to ensuring that any digital possessions, including NFTs, meet a set of criteria to ensure they are not harmful to players or the environment.

"By signing this pledge, you are not only showing your support for the studios that have signed the pledge, but are also encouraging other studios to do the same," the group said.
