Bill Gates has written a new blogpost about a “terrific” novel by Gabrielle Zevin called Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.

In 2006, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion developer Bethesda did what many at the time thought was unthinkable. The company put an in-game item on sale for real-world money, in a full-price game.
