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

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
Idk, but I hate the inability of many people to separate the author from the work.
Generally you're supporting the author by consuming their work. I wouldn't want to support a pedo, especially if it benefits them monetarily.
I'll copy-paste because I essentially got the same response before ๐
It sounds like somebody told you "piracy fails to support artists" and you took the wrong thing away from that.
Edit: oh it's in this thread whoops. I don't think you're addressing what the comment to whom you're replying is saying.
Yeah, I think I should have been more specific.
It depends. If the consumtion of some form of media benefits the artist/author/whatever monetarily, I won't consume your work anymore. For example: Rammstein, since I don't have any CDs and only use Tidal for streaming.
If, on the other hand, I already own your work I don't see why I wouldn't continue. For example: Harry Potter books I already own.
Sometimes the things the artist/author etc. did are leaving such a mark on his/her work, that I just can't consume it anymore without it leaving a bad taste, so I won't.
Yeah, but piracy exists. If it didn't existed, I wouldn't consume those works either, I can give you that point, but you can simply pirate.
And yeah, I understand all about the bad taste, it happened with two musicians I liked a lot that were groomers and all that, and another 9ne that sexually abused a partner of him, and now I can't hear their songs because I feel uncomfortable. It's ok and normal. The whole point is that it's still personal and I won't be policing anyone who still listens to them, and I still listen other artists that did such things because I didn't felt such a emotional connection with these.
Tbh, I'll admit that I focused it wrong, the thing I actually hate are those moral policers and SJW that cancel people like a sport.
