Christian Game Developers Foundation
The Christian Game Developers Foundation (CGDF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Christian video games.
It promotes the development products which provide a safe environment and entertaining alternatives for young people to enjoy interactive products. The foundation seeks to help game companies to support the development of family friendly products and services, provide visibility and education for parents that are trying to make good decisions as to the type of interactive products their children are exposed to in today’s marketplace, provide public relations and become a spokesman concerning the need for an alternative to today’s interactive offerings and to support the creation of new interactive products based on biblical environments and principles.
According to insiders, the CGDF in cooperation with Plain Games is working with US government officials to address the current ESRB game ratings system and is using the Plain Games Bar Rating system as the basis for a new national electronic game rating system.
