However, what you may not have realised is that it’s already been pulled from stores, making it impossible to buy, and making EA Play the only legitimate way to pick it up....

I know saying it doesn’t matter how you play a game is kind of a funny stance to take, given that a good portion of my job is playing a game to an efficient death in the name of optimizing it and writing guides to teach you how to do it too. But nothing frustrates me more than someone telling me how I’msupposedto play a game. Maybe it’s because I grew up playing simulation games that give you a lot of direction at the start before letting you go wild, or maybe it’s because I’ve been dealing with tryhard guys doubting my gamer cred as a woman my whole post-pubescent life, but no matter what it is, it grinds my gears to be told how to enjoy something, and that goes doubly so for gacha games likeGenshin ImpactandInfinity Nikki....

The world ofGame of Thronesis so rich that even the sprawling series of novels, and only-slightly-less sprawling TV series, is unable to explore every facet of every character in as much depth as possible. That, and it’s nice to leave a little mystique on the table. This is where fan theories start to fill the void. Naturally, Game of Thrones is packed with dozens upon dozens of fan theories, from minor headcanons that deepen the relationships between two characters who interact without much backstory, to fairly unhinged suppositions of time travel, ghosts, and nonsensical family trees....

Female protagonists didn’t see as much representation as they should’ve been, and Platinum Games showed the world how populara skimpily-clad witchwith reading glasses could become.
