      I think Snapchat’s just a weird company in general with really questionable practices at times. Like intentionally making it suck on Android, the Snapchat glasses that completely flopped, and from what I’ve heard the work culture is pretty messed up (not that I can link a source for the last one). Not sure what they’re thinking with this

    How popular is mobile gaming? I always thought most people who gamed on mobile were children, and older people (the kind who would play FarmVille and other facebook games).

    So they're creating an app store? Are they trying to expand into a "super-app"? I feel at this point Snap is just trying to ensure they're still relevant until they get a good acquisition offer.
