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.

Exactly. Look at Nintendo. A fun game doesn’t mean you have to have bleeding edge visuals.

[–] imecth@fedia.io 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yes look at Nintendo, shitty visuals and high prices.

Makes profit or they’d stop doing it.

Their games have always been expensive , but they are but they've always been this side of reasonable. Let's see how $90 games treats everybody.

I wouldn't want to spend $90 on my kid, the little shit isn't worth it.

My son‘s birthday is coming up and I’ve been telling people for years to get us steam gift cards.

I think I realised what my big problem with $90 games is for Nintendo and it's this, when I was a kid I used to save up money and buy game boy games. It was an important thing my parents made me do because it meant that I learnt you don't just get given things for free (gifts are of course fine but at some point you need to learn about working to get money for things you want).

There's no way he's going to be able to get $90 in a reasonable time frame. What's he going to do, cut lawns for 2 years in a row?

And crappy framerate. No sales and a predatory dlc system

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dear internet person, this whole discussion is being triggered because Nintendo, of all people, decided $100 was an acceptable price for a video game. They are the asshats who opened the flood gates for the corporate zombies to waltz in.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I appreciate being formally addressed. Thank you.

Unfortunately this will continue to happen with or without Nintendo being first to do it. They happened to be this time, and it’s BS. But now more than ever people need to vote with their wallets.
