Women make up a full half of video game players, though you’d never know it because harassment is so bad few women use mics, even in games where women are a large share of, if not, the primary playerbase.

With all respext, Billi, shut up.

The business model of food apps is simple: rent seeking and extortion.

Not sure how the license applied to their existing games, but Tony is licensing for single game entries at this point.

Civilization VI is, how do I put it, an expensive hobby as is, costing over one hundred Canadian dollars in its present state. If one is devoted to the game and doesn’t want to dive into other new games, I can see some buying in.
