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.

Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net)

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don't like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don't work on their game 24/7 and forever.

Naw screw that. Don't label it early access if you don't plan to update it from its current state at a rate that the majority of your fan base expects.

That said the dev in this article has provided 3 updates in 3 months. They're totally fine by the expectations of all but the most unreasonable people.

Or just don't buy a game with expectations that don't match reality and then get mad at other people.

Typical gamer brain rot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But my expectations match the norm! You are stupid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Again, typical gamer brain rot

Obviously not, otherwise this discussion wouldn't be happening. You get that right? This thread wouldn't exist and there would be no point to talk about this at all.

Use some brain cells

OR you are stupid. I'm just not gonna sugercoat it by pretending adding "gamer" to "brain rot" means anything but you exposing your bias.

If you wanna call me stupid, just do that. Don't tell on yourself.

A gamer is the target audience of the article and this community.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

So much entitlement with you lol, yeah and the article is calling you out for being whiney children and demanding things from devs at an unnecessary pace.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The article is attempting to move the established goal posts for expectations. Stop shilling for these guys. You don't need to carry their water. The devs know this, which is why they've kept pace. They're just bitching about having to.

It's so unreasonable yet we do it. Woe is us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit you're a fucking moron, dude.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The feeling is mutual.
