!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.

If they sold emulators on steam or gog I would probably pay a reasonable amount for them. But they don't, so I pay nothing.

Nintendo Switch has a bunch of emulators. You need a premium subscription though.

IMO, a subscription service is almost worse than not selling them at all.

Either I buy them individually for a reasonable one time fee, or I don't and get them for free.

I don't want to play on a switch though. If I play on my computer, that's a platform that's going to be around for ages. And had no subscription fees.

And a Switch, of course...
