!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'd rather just refund it, fuck rewarding a dev team that resorts to this.

I honestly don't get it. It's such an extremist view for something that's insignificant.

You paid for a game you're excited for, and then because you have to sign up for 30 seconds you'd rather get upset, and then spend a longer amount of time refunding the game?

Maybe people here are being hyperbolic but I honestly can't see people refunding the game because of this.

If you keep rewarding the bad behavior of others, you have only yourself to blame if they continue to behave badly.

I shouted, literally shouted at my friends for buying the Oblivion Horse Armor and WARNED them the world they were creating, and I was fucking right on every fuckdamn point.

But they laughed at me then, and you laugh at me now, and the world gets shittier and shittier every day.

Games are better than they've ever been, including the ones that force you to make accounts.

Micro transactions have largely gone down the cosmetic route or season pass route, both of which I'm fine with.

I honestly don't see the issue. If anything, games are better now because they can make more money from whales and discount the game for others.
