Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There are thrills to be had in East IndiaCompany, but they don’t come from exploring unknown foreign colonies or engaging in violent sword fights. Instead, this trading game offers the excitement of tidy profits and audacious deals, pulled off with only a ship, a harbour and a small bag of gold at your disposal. As you progress in the game, however, you will soon be investing in fleets of ships and having swashbuckling adventures on the high seas – all good – and watching a lot of load screens – not good. Still, it’s an elegant trading title marred by the odd flaw.
