!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.

While your translation really drives that point home it’s ridiculous that it’s barely even necessary. Like, he’s just saying it outright.

It’s not “we need to invest in indie studios to build our reputation in that sector” it’s “we want prestige and awards”. The wording is slight but obvious. Business people are such wastes of time and energy.

The way you get prestige and awards is having the occasional experimental flop, though. You don't get either of those for making Generic Military Shooter #98749372, even if that's where the money is. Prestige is something that takes a long time to build.

Yes? I didn’t say otherwise.
