!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.

What are you, a shareholder? Why does the 'rate of success' matter? I didn't list three games because there were only two gems.
It's like being at the library and saying "fantasy authors will never compete with what JK Rowling was writing, just look at how many books are here!"
it's survivor bias because having one or two good games in a tidal wave of indie bug riddled, knockoff messes isn't exactly the same thing as the innovations from back in the day. Some asshole's Amnesia knockoff or twin stick shooter being good is hardly surprinsing when 5000 of them come out daily.
