Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
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.

If people still want for consoles to be physical media, why hasn't the industry just moved to flash modules?
I've been a Steam boy my whole adult life so I don't understand the desire, but then again Valve hasn't spent 30 years fucking me over either..
Whelp, it was a nice run having Playstation consoles. I can get plenty of old games elsewhere.
Never been a better time to reject modernity and turn to sailing the seven seas!
I might just start actual sailing again instead of gaming.
As companies greedily try to control what I have already purchased more and more, that's exactly where I'm going.
I predict they will push ps6 as cloud streaming console.
They won't. Latency is a bitch. There is a reason why geforce now is still a niche thing, despite offering a free tier.
The last reason to own a console just died.
Fuck you Sony. Fuck valve too, completely destroyed ownership of games.
I'm okay with no physical on PC, because there are ways to maintain control over your games, whether legal or not.
Microsoft may not even have a next gen console, let alone one with a disc drive.
I have owned every Sony console and still own every one except PS1. I will never buy a digital only console. Looks like my Sony collection ends here. Damn shame.
