!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.

Temp email+fake PII is my go to when this happens. I really appreciated Larian letting me skip straight to the game with BG3. Stuff like this should always be optional.

I wasn’t even happy with Larian, their data collection is on by default.

The whole account and telemetry is completely unnecessary.

I just want a game. No accounts. No external features. No DLC. No microtransactions. No telemetry collection.

Just a game. It doesn’t seem like much to ask.

It SHOULD be optional but corporate greed wants your data. Just Cause 3 is still sitting unplayed on my Steam account for this exact reason and I fucking loved Just Cause 1 and 2
