#EA has acquired a #license for the world-famous #Indygame #chess.

Changes were immediately announced for the game, which will now be released annually in new editions.
1) three new maps
2) Two new #game pawns, but only in the paid #DLC.
3) The pawns can be leveled up, but only via loot boxes.

The CEO rejects the #criticism of the game changes and explains that the #money is needed to make chess more interesting again.
The #profits flow into sexy skins, making the game interesting for a wide audience.

#TransWomen #banned from world #chess events while review takes place | Chess | The Guardian

I can sort of understand the concern about males and females not competing in physical sports as it would give an unfair advantage usually to males but I can't see why there is even a male and female split in chess at all.
