!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.

In a perfect world, it doesn't stop being toxic until Sony either goes out of the gaming business or pulls head from collective ass.
Companies now make wild decisions and then just wait for people's memory to run out. But the policies don't change, so therefore the response must be consistent.
And of course, at the end of the day, social media is just an arm of marketing. It's great that Sony's has been made unpleasant, but corporations "live" and think only via money.
Don't give Sony any more of it.
Sony’s definitely aware that people are hostile to their decisions, but they have other customers that quite honestly don’t care.
This, to me, is one of those moments that proves out why competition is important. You can’t always force every company to make pro-consumer decisions, especially if you’re just one type of consumer, but you can definitely abandon their products.
