841 Deciding What To Play, Part I

Right now we are in a renaissance of gaming. Well… still. It’s pretty much been a renaissance since it began, and it’s only getting stronger.

And with renaissance comes innovation and prosperity. And that means lots and lots of choice about what to spend our precious hours playing.
