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.

It looks like someone at Activision is leaking Slack screenshots to right-wing X users (www.gamedeveloper.com)

Exactly. Don't lecture us about being trans or etc.

We honestly don't care. (Yes, a small percentage of people are actually bigots and hate gays/trans for being who they are). The rest of us just don't want it shoved down our throats.

It's like making a game and having the main character proclaiming: "look how straight I am! Wow I sure do love women! I'm so straight and anyone who isn't should do pushups".

The rest of us just don’t want it shoved down our throats.

and when you put storytelling of any kind that way, it tells me who you really are.

no one is shoving anything down your throat sweetie, you paid your money for a game before checking it out. that's your mistake, not the devs.

You completely missed the point just so you can keep your ears and eyes closed.

Keep living in your bubble and being angry at the world, it sounds fun!

And yet, from the downvoting here and everywhere else this comes up, it’s clear: some people can’t take nuanced opinions on topics like this. If you object in any capacity, you’re the worst possible objector.

Because they're all leftists/activists. They don't know what sells games yet they scream and shout that it's our fault that the games didn't sell well
