!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

If I remenber it well Apple was the first to push the monthly subscription model (not in gaming).

I believe it was Adobe with their CC software (photoshop, flash etc). Everone was talking how revolutionary it was and how it'll change software selling forever.

fuck Adobe

the worst part about it is that their software is a requirement for creative arts if you want to be hired by someone. Sure a freelancer can use whatever they want but if you want to get hired you better know photoshop, after effects, and premiere pro or you're dead to employers
