From the page: ""Quibus lusoribus bono?" means "as a benefit to what gamers?" Cicero used to ask "Cui bono?" - "as a benefit to whom?" - when he wanted a jury to see a defendant's guilt. The defendant, Cicero said, had a motive because he gained something from the crime. It's hardly surprising that game studies benefits academics with the stability of tenured jobs, but I'm only exaggerating slightly when I say there's a crime here, too. J'accuse."
