!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.

I'm sure you meant it as hyperbole, but SWAT will not actually show up to anyone's home just for pirating video games. At most, a handful of local police or FBI may knock on your door, but SWAT are not called in for something like that. Not unless you have some history with the police of extreme violence or you have given them reason to suspect you are going to put up a fight.

A person is most likely to recieve a letter in the mail or an email from the lawyers of Nintendo before police are invovled.
