!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.

It shows the amount of faith people have in the platform. You're spending money on something that requires steam to continue to exist (as well as your user account), or else the purchase was wasted.

I wouldn't advance-buy a game I wasn't sure I'd play soon on a Google or Microsoft platform. I'd lose the ability to play the take within a year!

Oh, and also I guess it speaks to the quality of the discounts available on steam.

Spent 4 hours in RDR2. Realized I hate westerns. It seemed like an ok game though

...yet.

It's my retirement plan. Buy the games now when they're on sale with the intention that one day, perhaps when I retire at 80, I'll have a plethora of time on my hands to finally play all the games in my backlog except I'm certain that I'll be so senile by then that I'll probably end up playing the same one over and over for what seems like the very first time each time I fire it up.

I can proudly say that every game I have on Steam or any other platform that has 0 play time, is a game I obtained for free.
