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.

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don't like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.

But by now gamers have been so trained to expect to endless content treadmills and all their ilk like mtx and battle passes that publishers/developers get egged on if they don't work on their game 24/7 and forever.

It's not expecting a complete package at the time of purchase. It's expecting one in due time with your support.

What you are describing is a game outside of early access.

Why are those your expectations, then? Seems kind of illogical to look at a system with a history of not that, expect it, then be mad.

You can say it's not right for it to happen, but to be expecting it just makes no sense at all. Again, I'll reiterate, you can argue that the system is fucked and needs to change, but, again, expecting an outcome with evidence that it won't happen, then get mad, is asinine

No need to make things up. My expectation is what we get most of the time. You're the weirdo acting like it's not. This article is just a developer trying to move the goal posts of expectations yet again.

Like how much of a cuck for these businesses do you want to be?

It's not illogical to expect a developer to follow the basic standards of the industry they opted into. It would be illogical to declare them the exception.

Small teams drop regular media and content updates all the time without people dying at their desks. The conversation of their working conditions is between them and their bosses (maybe the state), and not their customers.

You accused me of making things up and called me a weirdo, honestly you're a waste of breath.

What did I make up, exactly? Are your feelings always this sensitive?

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You made up what my expectations were then argued against that instead of reality. Keep shilling though.

[–] IllIIllIllIIIIl@programming.dev -2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

You LITERALLY said your expectations, dork. I didn't make up shit, you fucking said it yoursel

I'm not shilling, but good try with that one

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I did write my expectations. So why was that your response? You called expecting the norm illogical. I take it back. You're just unrealistic and assume everyone else should be too.

[–] IllIIllIllIIIIl@programming.dev -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You just said I made up your expectations then that yeah you did write them out

So which is it? Did i make it up or did you write them?

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wrote them out and you made up something different. Fuck man. How many times do I gotta break it down? You not reading didn't make my words not exist. This is like... common stuff. This whole argument is making sense now...

[–] IllIIllIllIIIIl@programming.dev -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn't make up anything different at all, you fucking asswad. Liar

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I also believe you are a liar now. It's all in text.

[–] IllIIllIllIIIIl@programming.dev 0 points 10 months ago

Exactly, any dipshit can see the chain of events that show you're just a troll.
