Imangi Studios Maddie Messer is 12, and she loves a good video game. One of her favorites is called Temple Run. In fact, it's one of the most successful games out there.
Temple Run is free to play-if you play as the default character, Guy Dangerous. But playing as a girl character can cost extra. Maddie found out this was true for a lot of games, and she didn't think that was very fair.
Today on the show: a 12-year-old girl takes on the entire video game industry.
