!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.

Yes, because who wants to own their shit when they can just perpetually lease it with the unending dread of losing it all at any moment (digital platform of choice) shuts down or just says fuck you, we're taking the games away and you cant do shit about it.
DRM-free digital copies that can be backed up to personal storage so access cannot be revoked.
I didn't say you don't get to own it. Stop defending plastic which just ends up in the environment, slaughtering innocent animals.
Just back up your games to a HDD
and imagine how much pollution was created just for you to be a stupid cunt on the internet.
between you and physical games, I know which one I could surely go without.
Stop being so attached to plastic nerd
