“Games, at their core, are more than mere amusement; they’re mirrors of our essence, metaphors for existence itself. When we are children, we learn to play, compete, and collaborate in the world of games. We grow up understanding that life is a game in itself, and every challenge we face is a game we want to win. Games teach us fundamental skills: strategy, patience, adaptation, and, sometimes, the importance of knowing how to lose.” Adriano Batista, FY Editor-in-Chief
