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.

Gamers also don't generally reflect the opinions of the entire population.

The way the question is asked is also important. Obviously a majority will hate genAI slop, but a good (indie) game where the developer had absolutely no chance of hiring actual people (therefore no artist, software engineer, etc. was hurt in the process), now that's a different story.

See this here for example. People are freaking out because AI was mentioned. Not because COE33 is a bad game (though I do think it's overhyped, personally), but because AI got mentioned - in a way that doesn't even affect them.

Thing is, there are some malicious actors in the AI sphere, both for AI and against - and the ones against are pushing absolute BS stories to ragebait people and build "consensus" on AI being bad.

Oh, so it is the gamers who are anti-AI, and the artists who are in favor of it. That makes sense.

where the developer had absolutely no chance of hiring actual people (therefore no artist, software engineer, etc. was hurt in the process)

It's interesting to me how a project fronted by somebody without two nickels to contract an artist can use the power of AI to create assets they'd never otherwise be able to, but they're not replacing anyone; AI can't just make a bunch of assets that a person could. That's some black magic, right there.
