LinkedIn has recently introduced addictive puzzle games to its platform, including one called Queens, which is similar to the New York Times' Two Not Touch or Star Battle. However, users can only play these games once a day. This move has sparked confusion and criticism among users, who question how games fit into LinkedIn's professional brand. Additionally, a user-created version of one of these games, named Game of Crowns, has led to LinkedIn issuing a cease-and-desist order. The games feature a dedicated button in the app.

LinkedIn recently added puzzle games, and one is especially addictive (Queens, which is similar to the NYT’s Two Not Touch or Star Battle). But you could only play once a day. So this guy made a version called Game of Crowns, but now LinkedIn sent him a cease-and-desist. 😬 https://t.co/6BaY8ON4mK
