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.

Regarding "overcharging".

The only price that exists is the one they offer for it. If you think it's too expensive for what is offered, congratulations, you know how to spend money. For any kind of product whatsoever.

I certainly think Super Mario Odyssey or Super Mario Bros Wonder were worth their price tag, because they're great. And that's completely subjective.

You either think it's worth it and buy it, or you don't. They're selling games, not food and water. And you've got a freaking galaxy of other games to choose from.

Wonder wasn't worth thenplastic it was wrapped in. I know that is an opinion but I was very disappointed.

As a longtime Mario fan, I liked it - but it did feel a bit short. I would have been disappointed if I'd paid full price for it.

As somebody who isn't buying their products, I can say they are overcharging. Your point falls apart when your base assumption is removed.

You certainly can.

It shouldn't matter at all to you though. And it sounds absolutely ridiculous when you're shouting your outrage at people who do buy some of their products.

Yes, a comment on a board is shouting outrage.

Shout your outrage elsewhere. Yall are desperate for a personal insult to avoid confronting the conversation about Nintendo.
