At this years’ E3, Nintendo announced the introduction of Fortnite (probably the biggest game ever launched in the multiplayer arena ever) to the Switch.

Anonymity is under attack online. This is largely due to companies’ strategic monetisation options; the most convenient of which is selling some portion of the screen real estate to advertisers. …
