I am still reading For the Win, and I have been starting to realize why the book focuses on many different perspectives of different character throughout the world, in places like California, Mumbai, Singapore, China, and much more. I think it is on all these perspectives because that sometime later in the book, all the characters will meet, or start working for the same cause or something.
The cause I think they will be joining is Big Sister Nor's labor union for gamers, where gamers from all around the world who farm gold, basically make money for people that would be willing to pay them for certain things, like advancement in the game, or to find valuable stuff in the game and sell it to to other people using the game's currency, to meet up over the internet and do strikes and stuff for gamers who work for bosses that give them very low pay and bad working conditions. almost like a gamer sweatshop. And other gamers, like Mala, one of the characters, put these gold farmers out of business by destroying their gold farms or whatever. And this Big Sister Nor girl tries to protect these poor gold farmers from people like Mala, or "General Robotwallah" as she likes to call herself.
And the reason I think all the different characters in the book will join this big cause is because that's what I think the book is all about, how people can make money through videogames, and how other gamers are ruining it for them. A girl named Yasmin, who lives in Dharavi, India, who is Mala's friend, or was, until she joined Big Sister Nor's union because she thought what Mala was doing was bad. So one of the main characters has sided with another, and I think slowly, the rest will too, to start kind of like a gamer revolution.
