Time for another Dispatch!

I can't believe we're already halfway through Summer, Peliplaters (in the Northern Hemisphere, that is).

I don't know about you, but the heat has melted my brain. I feel like changing things up a bit. I dug deep into the Peliplat servers to unearth some fun stats from June and July.

(There's a good chance this is only interesting to me. Oh well!)

Let's get into it!
