Encourage Video Game Developers to Improve Games' Educational Quality

The issue

I am a fervent video game developer, dedicating my life and career to the improvement of video game quality. My commitment spurred my belief in the notion that "we may not be able to change the quantity, but we can change the quality." As such, I am penning this petition to urge popular developers and companies, like Epic Games and Unity, to commit to making video games more educational.

In a world that sees approximately 2.7 billion video game players (according to the Statista Global Consumer Survey), introducing more educational elements into video games could significantly enhance knowledge dissemination. Reinforcing educational content can diversify video games' roles, offering not only entertainment but also serving as a platform for learning. Researchers at the University of York found no evidence to support the theory that video games make players more violent, leading us to channel our focus instead on refining educational quality.

Remembering that "we may not be able to change the quantity, but we can change the quality," we can bridge the divide between gaming, learning, and development. By promoting educational quality, we can inspire young and old minds alike, fostering growth and development through an engaging, interactive medium.

Please join me in signing this petition and echoing my sentiment that "we may not be able to change the quantity, but we can change the quality." Together, we can drive a change in the video game industry, encouraging companies big and small to invest in the educational potential that their games can offer. For our games. For our descendants. For the future.
