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.

Holy shit, how long has it been? Everybody assumed the devs ran with the money, they silently disappeared and stopped updating the game despite being in early access.

Very excited for this! Honestly, I don’t understand all the negativity surrounding the devs going dark. I thought the game was fine the way it was shortly after launch. I don’t really get the need for an unending flow of content and updates.

Because G*mers need a constant stream of news telling them that their current chosen favorite game is actively being worked on lest they forget and "move on" to something else.

I swear, the sheer amount of bullshit (complaining about character models, character pronouns, character creators, literally anything else) I see from gaming communities and subreddits is actually ridiculous. G*mers are literally the most entitled people on the goddamn planet.

This happened for me with Back 4 Blood.

Turtle Rock said "Okay, we're done developing content. We'll move on to new things now." And people took that to mean it was a failed, dead, and worthless game. Whereas the active state where they left it was pretty solid, still runs, and I have a lot of fun with it. It just wasn't built to be endlessly live-service.

That's kinda my point with my previous comment. If the devs say they're done working on a game, most g*mers will take that to mean "stop playing our game and find something else" which makes literally zero sense.

You presumably spent money on this, let alone however many hours playing and having fun, and now just because the people who made it say they aren't adding anything new in the foreseeable future you totally drop the game. But I also kinda meant in another sense for stuff that's actively in development.

Take Elder Scrolls 6 for example (or even Cyberpunk 2077): the announcement trailer came out 7 years ago, and yet there have been other projects in the pipeline as well, such as Starfield and other updates for other games. You will get a constant stream of posts from impatient G*mers complaining, bitching and whining, coping and seething about "the fact that there's been no news of Elder Scrolls 6 for years."

My response always has been and always will be "then go make your own game and see how easy it is to make it do all the things you want"

Downvoted for censoring “Gamers”. Go back to TikTok.
