Activists from the "Stop Oil Extraction" group disrupted the EGX event, which is the largest gaming event in the United Kingdom

Sunday at EGX in London will leave a lasting mark in the history of the gaming world. During the Tekken tournament finals, an unexpected incident occurred when members of the environmental group "Just Stop Oil" stormed the stage and covered the monitors with orange paint. A multitude of attendees stood in astonishment as security swiftly surrounded the protesters.

Three members of the group stood before the crowd and began to speak out, emphasizing that video games can distract from real-world issues, particularly environmental ones. A representative of "Just Stop Oil" stated, "Video games allow us to escape into new and exciting dimensions, but real-world physics poses a threat to the lives of billions. Add more carbon to the atmosphere at this stage, and the game is over. Gamers collaborate to win, and we need these skills to survive."

"Just Stop Oil" is a well-known environmental group based in the United Kingdom, recognized for its non-violent resistance methods and protest actions. The group calls on the UK government to cease issuing licenses for new fossil fuel extraction and production.

EGX, organized by Reedpop, continues to attract thousands of gamers, and despite the incident, it maintains its popularity. Despite criticism of the methods employed by "Just Stop Oil," the group persists in drawing attention with its actions and calls for changes in environmental policy.
