!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.

You know… If Star Citizen comes out someday, and it’s fun? Great! I’ll try it, I guess.

I don’t get the FOMO though. Why care?

Like, why should I think about a game that isn’t fun yet, beyond maybe brief demos? Not my job.


And I’m not against early access or anything.

I submitted a bug report for very early Rimworld, because I thought it was an interesting concept. I played the hell out of it in alpha because it was fun with the modding scene. But that’s a best case scenario… and why TF would I spend hundreds of dollars, and many hours of my life on Twitch, over it? I don’t get it.

Nah, the game is fun to play, the problem is predatory monetization and wipes. Essentially, if you don't pay a hefty price, you're doomed to start over and over and over again.

Yeah, well, that’s not fun…

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

It's fun until you find that out, lol

I eagerly await the day Star Citizen collapses completely.

Great way to teach kids the true nature of working in the games industry! It's CRUNCH TIME!

Crazy to think someone will probably lose their job over a stream that went badly. Black Mirror is a great show.
