!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.

Ok sure. There are for sure games left in the space.

Oh wow "my heart is really in it" so it will work. No. This is survivorship bias. There are a ton of passionate people who turn out a product that is ok or worse and get their milkshake drunk / lose everything.

This is like saying "yeah drop out of college. Bill Gates did it.". You could totally be the next windows or apple or facebook... Or you could actually produce some mid tier thing you're really invested in and not have parents ready to kick in 50k or so and just fail. 🤷

What the fuck, no? How are you getting that out of this comment? Where does this comment encourage people to quit their day job?

Cube world failed because the online negativity got to the dev, who also struggled with other things. But it was ok. Lesson learned, let's not be assholes nust because you don't deem something as worthy.
