!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 think it was more about making money with subscriptions by incentivizing getting Nintendo Online to play against your friends. I bet they profited massively during corona from this business model.

Killing Pictochat, Street Pass, and in-game voice chat has nothing to do with subscriptions.

That's something to be concerned about so good on them. Kids shouldn't be communicating with randos online unless their parents can oversee it.
