Online Game Assignment

I somewhat frequently played Warframe, a multiplayer third-person shooter. While available on XBOX, Playstation and PC, I only play it on PC.
It includes extremely customizable characters, weapons, pets and ships, all of which impact gameplay in different ways.
Several mission types are available, ranging from PvE(Player vs Environment) to PvP and quests that are both or neither.
The game is frequently updated, changing mechanics and adding new quests and items to use.
I dislike the amount of farming for resources involved, as well as some of the changes to how mission types that occur irregularly.
I'll likely play more when updates settle down enough to have a consistent play experience again.

Learned that fake news is pervasive and started by multiple fronts, and a detriment to society.
Liked the specific examples of it, and the dismantling of them.
Others should watch because it's a good example of how fake news happens.
