He probably plays online, or local LAN. That maximizes your game time. I have a player who plays in five different games per week.

I see. I would describe it as 'take business from' rather than 'steal'. Technology is often a double-edged sword.

The older I get, the less straightforward thing become. Before I retired, I initiated and commanded several Human Trafficking crackdowns. We put violators in jail, eventually prison, and shipped victims home. The unsettling part of the business, was that the victims were more upset than the...
