Tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TGs) are minerals commonly found in an array of electronics including video game consoles and components. These minerals, which have been termed “conflict minerals,” are being mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and used to fuel what has become the deadliest conflict since World War II. In fact, gaming consoles and conflict minerals are so closely linked that some refer to the decades-long conflict in Congo as the “Playstation War.”
