Video Games Saving The Oceans With Artificial Reefs?

Reef Worlds Pearl of Dubai Project - Dynamic Reef

Is the this beginning of the Smart Oceans Dynamic Reef Campaign or just an interesting marketing idea?

We would like to think there's some real vision here.

League of Legends developer Riot is celebrating Australia Day and New Zealand's Waitangi Day with a special Ocean Week promotion for players on Oceanic servers.

From the week commencing January 23, up to and including January 30, players will be able to play the game to unlock what Riot is calling a 'raft of rewards', while playing with special Ocean Week characters.

And if players can collectively accrue enough points during the event, a statue of one of the game's characters will be inscribed with the Summoner Name of every contributing player and sunk off the coast of Australia (location yet to be confirmed) to become a reef home for ocean life. The character in question --either Fizz, Nami or Nautilus -- will be voted on by the players.
