In Honor of the Our Neighbors to the North

On this, their Thanksgiving Monday and in light of the recent mobile release of our own Decades, we bring you an article from Canada.com's tech section regarding the rapid-fire production of gaming that's being caused by the acquisition of mobile phones by almost every single individual in the first world, and some in the second. 


The piece illuminates how much mobile devices are doing to shape both the way the games are programmed and how many people and which or them are getting to do it. In the article's case a 19 year old both programs a game as a class assignment and well as comments the following:

Check out the full article on here and for those of you celebrating, mazel tov. Enjoy the Turkey!
