Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

MODERATORS
This has the "fuck you" energy without the actual word
"we listened to your feedback and made major changes to planned updates" is fuck you energy?
"We listened to our accounting, and the massive wave of refunds and unbought mtx is hurting our numbers. PR isn't happy about the reviews either. We'll keep you updated on future plans for fucking you over!
Do you really think that Sony will actually back down? They are calming down the shitstorm that is going over all media, socials and steam. They'll reorganize and will move on with their plans. Arrowhead and Helldivers is just one of many assets.
Of course not.
The review bombing was serious but I'd eat my hat if this stunt cut revenue by more than 10%. I don't have anything for Helldivers but here's an article about Dragons Dogma 2
10% is a lot by I WANT MORE MONEY RIGHT NOW shareholder metrics
It means the two million people playing it now have to get emails, promotions, and keep sony products in their mind.
They obviously didn't think it would be popular. Just like Wizards of the Coast when they tried to put out a new license that said "anything with the words 'dungeons and dragons' on it becomes our intellectual property", they assumed that pissing off their entire fanbase would be net positive because people will keep buying their stuff no matter how bad it gets.
It does kind of have “We would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!” energy to me.
There’s no way they thought the PSN thing would’ve been a well-received update.
It does?
It does not.
