Hello, I’m Ezra Juchter van Bergen Quast. I founded 9aming.com out of a passion that sits at the intersection of my Business Administration studies and the ever-evolving world of gaming. I’m particularly captivated by the alchemy of successful game creation – the strategic marketing, the compelling game mechanics, and the essential technical foundations. My ambition is to develop a keen ability to forecast shifts in the gaming market and to actively share my learnings and perspectives to benefit the industry I’m so passionate about.

Ethical Gaming Standard Association

To provide a formal, global structure for the development and promotion of my Ethical Gaming Quality Mark, I have established the Ethical Gaming Standard Association, a Swiss Verein. I chose this specific legal structure because it provides a robust and internationally recognized framework for a global operation. Operating from a neutral and respected jurisdiction like Switzerland allows the Association to build credibility and attract a worldwide following of creators, players, and advocates who are committed to a better and more ethical gaming future.

Through the Ethical Gaming Standard Association, my mission is to engage directly with video game creators and advocate for the conscious adoption of ethical game design as a core development principle. Drawing from the framework of “A Developer’s Code for Ethical Game Design,” I aim to persuade makers that their role extends beyond entertainment to being architects of the digital worlds where players thrive. My goal is to champion a development philosophy that actively pursues “Green Flags”—fostering pro-social behaviour, creativity, and fair competition—while systematically designing out the “Red Flags” of predatory monetization, inherent toxicity, and harmful stereotypes. Ultimately, my mission is to help shape a future where the most successful and celebrated games are also the most respectful and beneficial for their players.
