I cannot copy text from this site, but basically it says this is a good idea to encourage social distancing.

You wouldn't think people would need more incentive than the statistics reflect...

6. IDK

Guess it depends on the game type.

I'm a big fan of Mario & Zelda myself, although I don't have a console anymore.

It just amazes me what people seem to need "permission" to do.

5. Thank goodness for the release of Animal Crossing and Half Life Alyx!

Alyx requires VR hardware, but I've been enjoying the playthroughs on YouTube. That game looks AMAZING!
