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.

They confirmed this last week. Just because IGN wants their daily clicks, doesn't mean we should keep re-posting the same news.
First I'm hearing of it.
Congratulations?
Terminally online ^ this guy
Donuts has a total of 300 comments, to your 1.50k. Compared to you he's online for an hour a week.
Comment ratio is not an indication of whether someone is online, just whether they feel the need to comment a lot. I tend to spend the same amount of time reading whether I'm commenting or not.
Lurkers can be terminally online.
If someone is going to try to make fun of another person for being "terminally online" it does matter.
Seeing the same news posted two days later is considered terminally online?
How can we have a discussion about news if we pretend whatever we discussed yesterday doesn't exist anymore?
If there was a new development I wouldn't speak up. But this is just a different outlet posting the same news story, only two days later compared to the rest.
Its like sometimes people don't see every single post.
I agree, but why does that mean we need to regurgitate the same news stories every few days?
Is it the same user posting both?
If not, they most likely missed the first one. I doubt most people check whether something that looks new to them has already been posted.
Do you want people to post the same news story every week in case you happened to miss it?
I don't care if different people do or don't post it multiple times across multiple days. I already get to see some cross community duplication, so someone posting because they are late to the game gets lost in the noise.
It isn't like a discussion can only happen one time and if people miss it then they are out of luck. If someone posts late and nobody wants to engage the repost will fade off into obscurity.
