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 report (paywalled) claims that investors include Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). This deal, according to the outlet’s sources, could be announced as soon as next week.

Yeah, looks like I'll be permanently boycotting anything EA now.

Going private? Sounds good, less pressure from shareholders.... Selling to the Saudis? Hell no! Good thing I was already boycotting them anyway

The US doesn't chop up journalists with a saw just yet.

No it just gives bombs to Israel so it can murder them.

I suppose that's true. The country is not well liked in Latin America either due to all the meddling they've done (which was not properly covered in US history classes).

As far as the world knows they bomb the journalists house killing the whole bloodline.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

yes they do.

its just out of the public eye, in their torture camps. or abroad.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

They probably want EA for the sports games so they can keep sports washing their atrocities away.

Now introducing face ID tech that will immediately brick the computer if a woman attempts to play a driving game.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like something Stephen Miller would try to implement.

[–] ThinkBeforeYouPost@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You mean totally normal, "sexual matador", Stephen Miller, whose wife (who is definitely not a foreign agent or beard) said inspires her every morning with his anti-left rants?

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 hours ago

I love the one response I saw, "wouldn't that make Katie Miller a sexual bull?" Because there are so many different ways to take it from there, and many don't paint Stephen Miller in the lights he'd rather be seen publicly.
