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.

Oh, they got rid of the 12 month core plan completely and renamed core to essential (isn't essential the basic playstation plan?).

I guess I won't buy more than 1 month at a time for multiplayer. That's going to save me a lot of money, since I don't play xbox online very often.

Turned off my recurring billing. I'll have about 3 months then it's bye bye. I have been a customer since 360, but now will probably sign up for Playstation Network for the first time.

Ehh... PSN isn't really any better. Their Game Pass competitor is a hot mess. Better to just buy games outright, especially during sales.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know it's not better, but it has a bunch of the catalog from Game Pass as well as a bunch of PS titles I've missed while being on Xbox.

That's a good callout - treating these game rental services more like we do with streaming video services by subbing to one for just a few months, then dropping it for another.

Fucking hell... some people legitimately never learn.

They are destined to be suckers for life.

Oh I'm sorry, did Playstation start charging 30 bucks for their service? Oh, it's actually CHEAPER than Xbox even was? Oh and it's a massive back catalog of PS games I haven't played due to being on Xbox? Fuck me right?

I wasn't one of the unsubscribers here but I still can't believe I stuck out on GP for so long back when I did unsub

It was nice to have Xbox a month or two a year to play new releases. Guess that it’s over now, no problem, still a patient gamer.
