        @WSJ this seemed awesome. Until I got to the part about candy crush being considered "gaming". No.

        @_JackieThompson @WSJ If we're excluding Candy Crush can we exclude Call of Duty too? Both endlessly milk their player base.

        @GameOverGreggy What I was trying to say is that girls play more than just those games, but I guess I ended up sounding like a troll. Sorry.
