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.

This is literally the only way I'll ever buy another Rockstar game.

Why? Even if it goes through, they've already shown their colours.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

A company with a union that has been tested is better than one with no union. I have no faith that other companies would be better unless forced.

Unions can make even horrible companies treat their workers with decency... Or at least pay them for the bad treatment. Shop union.

You misunderstand, I'm all for hiring them back. I'm saying that shouldn't change his boycott of rockstar

[–] ILoveUnions@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I understood. I'm saying there's a whole lot less reason to boycott if they become union

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If they cave to the union and make this right, then I won't care how nice they are. Them being forced to be nice matters a lot more.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're still a horrible company in many ways. Forcing them to be better in this one aspect doesn't change the fact they're shitty

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not boycotting them because they're shitty. I'm boycotting in solidarity with their union.

You don't understand his deep need to play Rockstar games
