There certainly are no limits to gaming if Limitlesssquad has anything to say about it
Shortly after the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice on March 22nd 2019, a discussion developed within the gaming community regarding difficulty and accessibility standards.

What’s the deal with Overwatch’s loot boxes?
After reading through Gareth’s excellent analysis of Hearthstone, I’ve decided to talk about Blizzard’s other hit, Overwatch. Mainly, I wanted to touch upon what bothers me the most about it: the loot boxes.
