Thursday, January 22, 2015Warm-up: ON your own paper, WRITE the brief summary below; then, LABEL one gerund, one

In “How Video Games Are Getting In Your Head – And Wallet” by Steven Hann, the readers are informed about gaming industries and their tactics to keep people playing their games while spending their money at the same time.

Since playing these games is something millions of people around the world do for hours on end, this tracking method is definitely helping many gaming industries rake in the dough, even though the games are “free” to play.
