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.

Hopefully people can stop with the "I bet Bethesda will take down skyblivion!1!!" comments now. It's very clear there's good will between modders and the devs.

That means literally nothing to modders, and about 99% of gamers, at all.

I'm even surprised people had enough energy/time/whatever to even scour the EULA at the very beginning.

Some of us care about who we give our money to

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I understand that, and I care who I give my money to as well.

But almost every game nowadays has that clause, and almost every game regardless of single player or not, has mods for it.

This is also a Bethesda game. People are going to mod it out the ass regardless of what a few words in a text box say. The fact you think it means anything like we'll never get official mod support is pretty cooked tbh.

[–] farngis_mcgiles@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

Yes we should give Microsoft and Bethesda the benefit of the doubt. They've never done anything shady like try to sell mods before.

or adversely impact any other persons playing of the Game or their experience of playing the Game

Wouldn't want to adversely impact other people while playing your single player game. They can say what they want, people will mod it regardless.
