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

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.

There are an estimated 3,600,000,000 active video game players worldwide...
Why does it never occur to anyone in these threads that YOU might just be an insignificant but vocal minority?
That was my point. Just revisit this thread in 10yrs and see.
And see what, that no one has physical media and no one cares?
Yes. That another consumer - right got slashed completely. The poor are forced to just rent houses, apts, cars, appliances and even fucking books and games. I drown in money and see a big cultural problem here, I don't know why you don't care. Because YOU can afford it? Or YOU don't care about owning stuff you paid money for?
Because >20,000 children have died in Gaza since 2023 as a direct result of the same exploitative capitalism, and selective outrage over video games seems ignorant, performative, and wasteful of my energy...
Because every moment spent advocating for the "rights" of 1st world consumers is an affront to millions of lives lost so you have the comfort and privilege required to care about something so fucking stupid and selfish...
Every day people die due to capitalism. Why should i explicitly care for some islamic state in some remote region i don't remotely care about? In a playstation-thread in a community about gaming?
Big words, but what have you done lately to help people less fortunate than yourself? I'm a non-exploiting capitalist. Every employee of mine had excellent double-above-average salary, a come-and-go-as-you-please-work-ethics, shares in the company and free food and drinks. I donate tons of money to people (no stupid organizations), i work for free in a shelter and i don't buy shit noone needs to impress people i don't like. Scale doesn't matter btw, one can help even being piss-poor. If everyone else, and especially some billionaires, would too, everything would be nicer. But we don't.
So please spare me the dying children (as if the adults wouldn't matter) someplace. Children here are dying too, and way too many not by natural causes. Homo homini lupus est.
Did you read that term in a fairytale? 😂
Is your business structured as a worker cooperative or are you the owner?
If you take home a single penny more than the other people in your company, you are an exploitative capitalist and a labor thief. Take your market fundamentalist virtue signaling somewhere else...
Your "gotcha" reply just killed any credibility you might have argued on this topic. You are no better than the companies you're criticizing, you're just less successful at it.
I don't need to advertise my contributions to strangers on the internet, and rationalize my behavior to satisfy a guilty conscience... The people in my community know what value I add.
Do better.
What i thought...big words from behind a keyboard. And I surely don't need a lecture from you about what capitalism is. Using a phone or a computer, using a car and whatnot and probably working somewhere while being in it and exploiting the poor chinese who made your devices. Stop partaking in it or change something. Call me when you made it, i'd happily give up my wealth to live in a better society.
yes i am, that was the point. Was not so hard to grasp.
Anyhow, I see where I am at now and hence withdraw from this "conversation"
BAAAA!
Your wits are only matched by your eloquency :)
As soon as you said you have employees, your perspective and respect lost all value.
You are not a part of the future of humanity; you are an opponent of it.
If dumdums like you are the future of humanity, I'm happy to be dead by then. People like you make it hard to be nice to people. Now go back to work so i don't have to.
You better keep your promise.
