!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.

Early Access has its place, we're far better off with it existing than it not. I do still feel it needs to be an opt in thing for you to be able to see on Steam though
It just always feels like you lose so much of the cultural zeitgeist when the game goes full release.
Slime Rancher. Eventually Valheim. 30XX. My Time At... it's like a tepid glass of water rather than hitting that nice ice cold cube glass like you're trying to get in my pants.
Yeah it dilutes their release hype, but a lot of these games might also have not released at ALL had Early Access not existed in some form
