It's time for our eighth annual look at the games industry's conflict minerals sourcing practices and what companies are doing to ensure that the video game hardware we buy isn't funding armed conflict, slave labor, extortion and other human rights violations.
If this is your first time reading one of these, be sure to check out "The Basics" for the quick background on what conflict minerals are and where the information we're looking at is coming from, then brush up on the "Common Terms" we'll refer to throughout this piece.
If you're familiar with those bits and just want to know how the industry did, we discuss the broader results and larger trends around responsible mineral sourcing starting in The Year in Review section.
