Smilegate Megaport (CEO Jang In-ah) announced on the 10th that it will hold an environmental protection campaign event ‘Save Our Oceans’ with ‘Tales Runner’ users. The ‘Save Our Oceans’ event, which runs until the 30th, was prepared to participate in the ‘Earth Dam Campaign’ run by the Korea Environmental Foundation (Chairman Choi Yeol). Smilegate provides donations when users perform a quest to pick up trash scattered around the sea in ‘Tales Runner’s’ summer update theme ‘Island of Emotions’. Smilegate accumulates donations every time users complete a quest by picking up sea trash and putting it in a trash can. When the total number of completed quests reaches 200,000, a donation of 10 million won for Earth cleanup is donated to the Environmental Foundation through Smilegate Hope Studio. I plan to donate. The ‘Earth Dam Campaign’, run by the Environmental Foundation, is an event that informs society of the problem of waste being thrown into the sea, improves citizens’ awareness, cleans up activities, and supports various domestic environmental groups.
This event was promoted to address the accelerating increase in disposable waste due to COVID-19. Smilegate Megaport and Smilegate Hope Studio have been running a donation campaign since the 4th to support the Environmental Foundation, which is working to clean up the ocean. Through this, we are improving citizens’ awareness of ocean pollution and supporting grassroots environmental groups’ environmental cleanup activities. We plan to provide support. Kim Yu-jin, team leader at Smilegate Megaport, said, “This event was planned to have an online ‘pat run’ with Tales Runner users in the emotional system set against the sea, and through this, to actually help purify the ocean.” “I will think about various social problems and find ways to participate in improving them along with good game services,” he said.
