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.

It varies, but it's something like $7.50 to $8. In any case, inflation is a thing. Theme Park was added to the Good Old Games program, which means GOG did real work on it, and it's not egregious to charge a few extra dollars. Plus, sale percentages are variable; sometimes Dragon Age is 50% off, but right now it's 60%; this sale might not be a given game's deepest discount. Are they charging what you're willing to pay? If I was in the market for Theme Park at $0.89, I'd probably still be in the market for it at $3.

Podunk area of Northern California actually.

That's what the order form says here in Brooklyn, which ought to be more expensive than most locations. Maybe it's because they have to compete with the plethora of bodegas we have.

Please try to stay on topic. Tell me more about Subway sandwiches.

Inflation, to me, is code word for "I'm going to be greedier". So, I'm so sick of seeing that word 'inflation' being thrown around so much because it's just excusing and justifying the greed.

You're free to believe what you like, but it is real. The cost of an input (electricity, server components, employee salaries, etc.) goes up, and the cost of what a company produces has to go up as well.

Right? It's till cheaper than a coffee. I'd be pissed if it were $15
