!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.

Games people say they want: new IPs, platformers, indy games, local multiplayer.
Games people actually pay for: franchise games, annualized games, live service shooters, online multiplayer.
The people who are vocal and discuss games on the internet are a small fraction of the population that actually buys games. Doesn't mean there isn't a market for that stuff. Gaming market is bigger than it's ever been. Direct delivery makes it incredibly easy for small indie devs to get their games out there. But that's not the stuff that's making the most money
