!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.

Microsoft didn't invent the subscription model though lol
If they weren't the first to add it to games, other companies would have done it anyway
It says "popularized"
And I'm saying it was already popular
I remember the Xbox 360 being the only gaming platform in that generation that charged an online subscription fee. Who else was doing it?
