# Global Strategy Video Games Red Redemption Ensures Gamers a Socially Conscious Experience By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-01-13 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-redemption References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JOoBx2k4DaI) & [red-redemption](http://www.red-redemption.com/) Red Redemption is an indie video game creator that currently has two video games, 'Fate of the World: Tipping Point' and Climate Challenge. The featured video is the dramatic 'Fate of the World: Tipping Point' trailer, which seems in many ways more Star Wars than socially conscious. Climate Challenge is a [BBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potluck-club) game and won the European Green IT Award in 2008 -- it has over two million players and received mainstream press from the [New York Times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nine-arches), TIME, The Guardian, Reuters and much more. This unconventional social enterprise creates global strategy video games that are scientifically accurate and address themes such as poverty, the environment, population growth and clean water use. It's time to rethink the idea that video games are all violence and no substance. **Contact Information** Red Redemption [website](http://www.red-redemption.com/) Red Redemption on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/redredemptiongames) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Global Strategy Video Games:** Opportunity to create socially conscious video games addressing global issues. ### Who This Affects Most - **Video Game Industry:** Opportunity for game developers to create scientifically accurate and socially conscious video games. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gamified Sustainability Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-carbon-games.md) - [Eco-Conscious Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kwalee.md) - [Wildlife Awareness Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-cards.md) - [Social-Focused Childrens Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-snacks-games.md) - [Gamer-Targeted Donor Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-donors.md) - [In-Game Tree-Planting Initatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-masters.md) - [Charitable Farming Game Bundles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/down-on-the-farm.md) - [Mission-Based Play Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windy-weatherfoot-game.md) - [Realistic Investment Simulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asset-manager-quest.md)
