How Eco gives gamers the same global warming problem as scientists

Eco is a multiplayer game about starting a civilization from scratch and progressing it far enough that you can stop a meteor from destroying your virtual world. During all of that technological advancement, however, you can have a negative impact on the environment. That includes global warming.

Two Bit Circus chief technical officer Eric Gradman moderated a talk with Eco developer Strange Loop Games chief executive officer John Krajewski during our GamesBeat Summit 2019 event today in Los Angeles. Krajewski talked about the parallels between global warming in his game and in the real world.
