!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.

There has to be a point where the people who still buy into this don't give a fuck anymore?
Sunk cost is a hell of a drug. I'd bet if we could see their actual revenue you'd see the shift from individual purchases to more and more whales sinking money into it, that's what they're banking on. It might have started as an ambitious project, but it's definitely a full blown grift with some "keep up appearances" icing on top.
And this recent stream showed everyone that the icing tastes like shit.
Yeah its been the same people with too much disposable income or margin for a while. The whole scheme is selling "clout" for a few hundred a pop.
