this new lens that I'm looking at it through, which is like GTA 6 as the last hope of indoctrinating kids into console gaming.

And I think there's a good chance that it doesn't make even a ripple amongst kids who are used to only playing games on their iPad, on their iPhone, not paying for games, aside from the harmful monetization forms within those free games.

sort of crack in and have kids try this form of gaming that they've never tried before.

The Ringer-Verse
'007: First Light' and 'Mina the Hollower' Reactions | Button Mash

That tends to be my role here, I think.

I loved it.

I love this game.
