the NYT figured out video games as a solution.
- bogzz 1y ago...I actually paid for their games app yesterday. I do really like them though.
- wisemang 1y agoNot sure I’d call them _video_ games per se but anecdotally (me) it does work. That said NYT crossword has existed for much longer, puzzle games are a longstanding feature of many newspapers.

Yes, the crossword has existed for longer, but it was never the core source of funding. It’s interesting, and I doubt it can scale - every newspaper has its own puzzle section?
