Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

As much as I hate Nintendo, publishing wise they’re good.

I don't understand how game dev works, how does a publishing company fire the CEO of a game dev company. Like do these publishers own the game company?

Very often they do, but not always. In this particular case they do.

they did such a bad job on Below Zero, this could be a turn for the better for the series. though if there are microtransactions that would kill it.

I mean, I wasn’t planning on buying it before I played it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I will wait and see how its release goes, not that I ever pre ordered a game anyways

I don't have high hopes but I'm going to save my opinions for when it's released

Is this definitely what those devs are asking for? Sure this isn't just cutting them twice?

Seems like there is a plot twist to this story no one is mentioning https://bsky.app/profile/jasonschreier.bsky.social/post/3ltmyjaecpc2w

Best comment. Trust the publisher bro !

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I’m sure there’s some truth in there, but it is hard to believe it entirely. This is what you get for unnecessarily selling your company.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

It sucks that this is going around too. Because no matter what the "right" choice is the devs are still gonna have to see what should have just been their fun project get thrown around in gaming politic hell

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Oh. Huh. That seems important. I wonder what they have to say in response.
