Sourcing

Currently referenced, the PCMag and TWiT.tv sources are full reviews, Doctorow's review is pretty in-depth, Business Punk is a short description/review, Inforrm is a short description, and Verge is a very short description.

Not referenced as of now, but perhaps useful for attributed information are

a Neatorama blog post (likely reliable for such topics but not sure),
a "Geeks in Space" podcast episode, by Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda that I currently cannot find, but will probably show up on YouTube soon,
a Techdirt blog post (not independent),
a Techdirt podcast (not independent),
an Engine post (not independent),
an in-depth LinkedIn "article" (equivalent of a UGC blog post) (not reliable).

There are several other personal blog and microblog sources that are likely not useful for this article. —siro χ o 23:20, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Siroxo (talk). Self-nominated at 09:00, 9 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Moderator Mayhem; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article sufficiently new and long. Well-referenced throughout, hook verified and interesting. Copyvio not detected and QPQ indeed not yet needed. Good to go, maybe add "web-based" in front of "video game" but it's not required. Juxlos (talk) 04:45, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've added "web-based". —siro χ o 05:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
