My English is really poor, so I am sorry if it cause difficulty to read in advance.
I am a CoC player for almost two years and I usually play in the Chinese community(mostly with Taiwanese and Mainlanders). And the trend over there is running games/adventures via communication applications such as QQ, Line, Whatsapp etc. And text-gaming are more prefered than voice-gaming as you can run the sessions everywhere with only a smartphone.
So, I'm curious if this type of gaming is popular in the US? I have seen many gameplays in Youtube and they seem to be playing in person or at least using Zoom.
