Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Star Wars Outlaws doesn't let you free aim and fire from your speeder because Massive didn't want you to "feel as if you can ride in and assault people" (www.gamesradar.com)

Destiny had the same thing... If you could shoot from the Sparrow there'd be no reason to do anything else.

The point of an RPG, especially one that involves shooting is you let the player pick their own moral take on how to play the game. You don't choose FOR them.

Put real consequences in the game if the players choices actually matter. Don't nerf the game mechanics for no reason.
