!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.

I remember bringing this up on r/games years ago
In typical reddit fashion, it got downvoted into oblivion
I remember seeing people get downvoted for it too and apologists were like "acktually you pay for and own the license to play the game, not the game itself"
So many bad actors on reddit, I blame my own naivete for not realizing that so many accounts are being run by employees of major companies sent to defend the company's interests.
It took me way too long to realize that the mods for game's subreddit that I play way too much are actually the devs for the game
They were always extremely critical of any suggestions for improving the game that were actually genuinely good constructive suggestions
I thought they were just being a-holes, turns out they weren't just a-holes
