!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.
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.

Glad it worked out for the guy and he found a market, but I did give Hollow Knight about 15 minutes of my time and my eyes glazed over because I think I’m perma-bored with cartoonish 2D platformers. So, I do understand where some of those redditors are coming from. That said, there are people who like them, so there is a market out there for them and that’s great.
I consider this a result from destabilization campaigns by evil global forces. They make everybody hate each other and spread negativity that snowballs into more negativity, until the point where we hate everything and become monsters ourselves.
It's been my experience that dedicated places for fans of certain games or franchises to congregate always devolve into a never-ending cycle of "Everything is wrong and this game is terrible. I have 3000 hours in it.".
No one hates a game like the most dedicated fans do. For instance, I put a significant amount of time into the Forza franchise over the years. The Forza community (both the subreddit and the official Forza forums) might be one of the worst I've ever experienced. No one is ever happy with or about anything.
Basically, if you really like something, avoid the fan communities at all costs. You'll end up finding out about things that are supposedly "game ruining" that you never even knew or cared about and then you won't be able to un-see it.
