Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

In a deal involving a company owned by Jared Kushner, a company that is basically just the Saudis, and $20B of debt.

Saudi owning FIFA is hilarious seeing most of its profit comes from gambling. Muslims my ass πŸ˜‚ Not that they ever practiced what they preached anywayβ€”Islam or not, religion has always been nothing but a tool of oppression to rulers.

Instead of lootboxes, you cut open journalists to get your prizes.

What are the odds of getting the golden jet in your ultimate team?

You are not wrong and I am.

It would be interesting if EA pulled away from lootboxes for their owner's ideological reasons.

You can bet they'll pull away from LGBTQ+ representation.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah. There's domestic pressure for this anyway, unfortunately.

[–] False@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago

Maybe they'll remove the gambling. Probably not but it would be good if they did.

The religious skirting around the doctrines of their faith for personal gain is a feature, not a bug.

It doesn't exactly scream "Shariah Compliant", no.

Except ea lost the FIFA licence in 2023.

Didn't as much lose it as they called FIFA (an organization worse than EA)'s bluff when FIFA wanted like a billion for the naming rights.
