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.

Star Citizen has such a headstart on an actual space MMO.

Other businesses have 0 chance in catching up.

Eve is older than star citizen isn't it? I don't play either but I think it's fair to say eve had a twenty year headstart.

Eve is Menus: The Game.

It's a very lazy product created by a team without the skill to make something like Star Citizen. If they ever tried, they would be over a decade behind along with everyone else in the industry.

It's Spreadsheets: the Game.

Get your facts right.

If they ever actually finish the fucking thing, or provide even half of the features they promised. Honestly fuck SC, why would you wanna support a business model like this, do you want everyone to follow this strategy?

Doing the best they can with the resources they have instead of charging the most while giving the least?

Absolutely.

I look forward to you people never admitting you're wrong even when you're playing the game and having a good time.

SC is the highest crowdfunded game of all time (by a lot), people have donated over 170 million! Even after 14 years of development they still aren't done.

I look forward to you people never admitting you're wrong even when you're playing the game and having a good time.

I look forward to people finally admitting they were duped.
