Once upon a time, media content had a price. To consume it, you had to pay for it. Years passed, and with advances in technology along came digital piracy. The problem grew significantly with Internet making its way into everyone's home and then expanded exponentially when the same technology was made accessible from everyone's hands. Some media domains, such as live sports, only later began being exploited by modern day pirates.

If, like most Game of Thrones fans, you're still looking for ways to fill the entertainment void until Thrones returns for its final season in 2019, then boy do we have some good news for you. Thanks to developer Nerial and game publisher Devolver Digital, fans will soon be able to sit the Iron Throne in the Tinder-inspired strategy game Reigns: Game of Thrones. In this spinoff of the original Reigns, players can rule Westeros as popular characters like Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, and Cersei Lannister as they swipe left or right to make decisions that will determine their fate as the king or queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Just as is true in the show, all rulers must die. But the game allows for a variety of outcomes that could only take place in alternate Thrones timelines, such as Sansa Stark marrying Jaime Lannister.

This article could involve spoilers, if you believe an algorithm can accurately predict who will be killed off in the Game of Thrones. Of course if you were to believe the Game of Thrones season 6 poster and trailers, then it looks like all the big players are dead and in the Hall of Faces. After being curious enough to check out the algorithm's predictions, I thought, No! Say it isn't so! The first thing I saw was that Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, "got a pair of cement shoes." Clicking through though, shows a page explaining why she might win the Game of Thrones and sit on the Iron Throne.
