!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

So The idea was to reduce ownership and increase subscriptions for a steady stream of cash, of which users would pay forever for something that used to be a 50 dollar one time fee.
Now, even that's too expensive so they're having up the price and capping the hours you can play per month.
Which means, any suckers that bought into this scheme are always at the mercy of a company that can alter the deal at any time, and leave you with nothing.
PlayStation is doing it as well.
I implore all people it there reading this... Don't subscribe to anything! You're giving up control in exchange for nothing!
