2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The "fastest selling" is literally the title of the article, then they make no effort at all to point out that all of that volume is from accessing China, which most games don't.

There's no legitimate way to use the title "how game became the fastest selling game" and ignore the only factor that played any meaningful role in that outcome at all.
