Face Quote by Matthew Mercer
“A lot of gaming and a lot of interaction is no longer physical; it's all digital and at a distance. There's this innate, tribal need of the people to have face time with other people and play together in person. I think there's been this rediscovery of the joy of playing with people around the table.”
