Zusammenfassung

This paper discusses the environmental implications of cloud gaming and the sustainability strategies employed by infrastructure providers underpinning this gaming model. At present day, such an analysis needs to recognise the increasing presence of other agents from the ICT sector in the gaming ecosystem in specific, and the digital entertainment economy at large. To understand the inherent infrastructural and environmental challenges to operationalise cloud gaming in this setting, the paper examines the intricate geo-distributed architecture required to offer the real-time experience of gaming through cloud-based services, while observing the growing concerns with the resource consumption associated with cloud platforms. As a result, the analysis unfurls the prevailing adoption of energy efficiency and carbon offsetting strategies by cloud infrastructure providers. Under environmental compensation methods, heat dissipation and water usage excess are not merely emblems of an accursed climatic share, but also valuable assets for trade. The paper highlights the significance of taking a step back to re-evaluate discourses on gaming and sustainability, to observe more closely how the environmental problems associated with the industry take shape under a cloud-based platform model.
