!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 the game is out of print, buying a used copy, even at scalper prices, isn't going to benefit the original devs or even the publishing company at all. They won't see a penny of that money.

In my particular situation, my son has an OLED Nintendo Switch and a fairly big, growing library of games for it. Nintendo is already getting plenty of my money. They're not losing any significant amount of money over my fullsets of NES, SNES, and N64 ROMs, the vast majority of which are not available on Switch Online / Virtual Console.
