Why This Might Interest VirtCardPay Users?

Although the game is not finance-related, it shows how major media (NYT) create interactive content to retain audiences. For virtual card holders, this is a reminder: by paying for subscriptions to foreign services (e.g., NYT Games), you get access to quality entertainment.
