Does that mean it's going behind a paywall?

I think we've all learned a lot today. I'm more swayed that Wordle can be classified as a video game. You all argued admirably. But I still think this is the best forum for the thread.

In fact, if anything, y'all argued me into believing we SHOULDN'T have a video game forum. If anything.

For the record (because I know some of you like to keep score) Argo had the most persuasive argument.

Jonathan Knight, general manager for The New York Times Games: “The game has done what so few games have done — it has captured our collective imagination and brought us all a little closer together."

Not us! This game has only ever tore us all apart!

Would you have called a non-video game creator a "developer"?

What happened in step 5 there, Spenno? You lost a correct letter!

How much do we think NYT paid for Wordle? For reference, Instagram was sold to Facebook in 2012 for one billion dollars
