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.

The brand will be exploiting the commercial agreement with Bethesda by giving a digital copy of the highly anticipated RPG to those who purchase selected models of its CPUs.

Doesn’t Nvidia give a game with every GPU?

Sometimes, for a limited time, but so does AMD. But I don't think it ever happens with CPUs.

I got Jedi Survivor with my 7900X, so it's not the first time they've given away a game with their CPU

I got Far Cry 6 with my 5800X, so they've been doing this for a while.

Nice. This usually makes it easy to buy a copy for cheaper from someone who doesn’t want it at launch.

Although I used to do that on Reddit.. Probably nothing like SteamGameSwap on Lemmy just yet.

I'm sure it'll pop up soon. Swap subreddits were maintained with Heatware anyways, a lot of that was done as a third party thing. I'm assuming the API changes are fucking up swap subreddits a bit

Nice promo, too bad i don't have a mobo for AM5

This is actually the reason I'm more keen to upgrade from my 3700x to a 5800X3D than going all the way up to current gen.
