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!

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