!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I paid full price for Dispatch. After looking at the 7 year development cycle I felt like these are the groups that need my patronage (Indies)

If it's under 5€ I might buy and never play it. If it's over 30€ I will never buy it.

Lost all my grumpy coin cause devs were a bunch of meth addicts.

Reminder that steam strong arms indie Devs into doing these big sales in order to give them visibility on the Steam store.

Basically if you don't do sales Steam wont show your game to anyone.

Do you have a better method?

I mean.... yeah?

steam is running a business and game devs are too.

if you develop games because it's a hobby, more power to you, but the platform you're using (steam) requires capital to operate.

And same with consumers. We aren't a charity throwing away money for no reason. We actively seek out discounts to get more for our money. We want discounts to be given priority.

I mean it’s that, or pay for marketing via other means. Either way, you’re spending money for exposure.
