We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I feel like this should be simple to solve, just say "If anyone ever posts classified info about an in-game stat, that stat is permanently frozen at the current value forever, regardless of accuracy."

With a rule like this, posting classified info immediately means you lose the argument, and people only do it cuz they love to argue online.

Then people will do it to troll the game.

natural enshitification. it's like the opposite of natural selection where instead of only the strong survive, the remaining suffer and plague the rest of the species.

Already ahead of you. Gaijin repeats time after time that they cannot under any circumstances use classified/leaked info for stats. Like they legally can't. So if you post it, they can't do anything with it neither now nor ever. xD
