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.

Why does every platform try to be everything nowadays?

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

Because shareholders and valuations. If you don't expand expand grow expand grow grow, people immediately see this as the company collapsing this very moment. It's impossible to just "exist". Be stable. Be reliable. Nope, massive growth every year no matter the cost or you're obviously doomed.

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Because too many online companies have their value predicated on continued growth and so once they saturate their niche they try to continue to grow and doom themselves in the process outside of a select few that had already become too big to fail.

Bet it plays like shite. Crunchyroll barely works.

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well hold your horses there for a second.
Crunchyroll worked very well in the XBMC addon, before they C&D'd it for no good reason.

[–] Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Really. I've only ever used the app and it's hot garbage. Although I'm free tier so maybe that is the difference.

[–] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's play games on Crunchyroll!

Hasn’t this been working out okay for Netflix? The intersection of people who watch stuff, and people who would like no-microtransaction games is decently sized.

I found Steam versions of several of the games in the list. Can’t say much for mobile ports, but all of them seem to have decent reviews.

[–] Muckelchen@feddit.de 17 points 2 years ago

But why? I doubt that many people will care for these games.

[–] Itd4n@ani.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

After their mishandling of Princess Connect, nobody should trust investing their time with gaming through Crunchyroll, EVER.

[–] Sabata11792@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Don't forget about the censored translations.
