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.

It's early stages and buggy, but it's on its way. All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable.

If Sony sees this, they'll misread it as interest, release it again, and it'll flop again. It's what's known as a Morbious.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

The correct lesson to take away from it, that they won't ever do, is to release multiplayer games in a way where they can live on without constant updates or a central server.

Hopefully Stop Killing Games can achieve that goal because big bosses don't see the benefits.

Make it a permanently free ps plus game as a bonus for ps plus

[–] kionay@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

A... Mourbioros? Morboros? Mouroboros?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

imo, Mourboboros (last one with an extra b, for fun)

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 4 points 11 hours ago

Not me. I want to watch it flop again.

It's concordin' time!

Useful idiots keep telling me people won't work for free.

They say that if we don't pay businesses the prices they demand, then nothing would get done.

Why are people so stupid?

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Because they're correct, you're just being too literal in your understanding of the statement.

Will people occasionally work for free? Sure. For friends, family, friends of friends, hell even strangers sometimes, volunteering is a thing, sure.

Will they work for free reliably and consistently enough that they can be built upon by other people?

Obviously not, they sometimes don't even do it for money.

Society as it is today, with its insane population count and highly specialised workflows, requires an insane amount of logistics that absolutely can't bear "random cunt #354 decided not to work this month so the boat is without a captain" levels of random disruption without heavy consequences; this is incidentally also why strikes are extremely effective.

No society that evolved beyond subsistence did so without some obligation to work, whether through monetary incentives or straight up serfdom/slavery; and if subsistence is all you want, I'm sure you can go live in like, some tribal commune on a Pacific island somewhere.

What makes you think people will work for free?

I need some work done at my house, will you come take care of it for me?

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I wouldn't do an Internet stranger's house. But I absolutely would help a friend's or neighbors if they so asked.

Also basically every chapter of Habitat for Humanity has a home repair program people can apply to

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 12 hours ago

Pretty sure I wouldn't qualify.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Because I don't know their situation, their life. I don't have enough trust that I'll just take someone at face value from a small subset. Don't want to get jumped. Don't want to get taken advantage of.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Useful Idiot. They're so convinced that they're on the winning side that facts don't matter anymore.

[–] EveningPancakes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 10 hours ago

Ugh man, Concord gets fan servers but I can't play BF1943 anymore...cruel world.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 12 points 13 hours ago

Impressive. This is like making a Star Trek replicator, but the only thing it can make is more garbage.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 5 hours ago

I thought it was very funny that I only even heard about concord existing when it was announced the service was shutting down. I feel like they didn't know advertising for it
