Games

The blatant ads there were getting insane though. I love how you are sharing your well earned recognition, but many times on Reddit it was, "My daughter died of cancer three years ago and I quit my job and used coding as therapy, three years later, I have my parting gift inspired by her love of turtles ready to share with the world!"

Insert half-baked $5 game made in a few weeks

It was so obvious they were creating fictions to push shovelware.

I once saw a post about Oni, a 2001 Bungie game get deleted from the Bungie subreddit for not being Bungie related.

Rule 3 is about "excessive" self-promotion. Self-promotion is allowed, spamming is not.

I understand it isn't verry clear (I'm working on that), but as a mod, I usually do not remove if the following conditions are met :

• OP do not spam his game, once every 2 weeks is fine, once every two day is not.
• OP post objective is to spark a constructive discussion around said game. Good post forms are :
  • A video trailer that accurently depict gameplay (to filter those low-effort games whose trailers are 100% cinematics)
  • A text post that talk about the game without being just a steam description.
• OP ask for mods permission to advertise his game. @[email protected] (sorry for the ping 😋) didn't at first, got removed, but was nice enough to ask the mod about it, thank to what we found this arrangement.
• OP engages in the conversations. Those 1 day account that post their games, never to be seen again, will be removed without mercy.

All those implicit rules helps to keep this community free of advertisements for low-effort cash-grab games, and preserve everyone enjoyment of this community.

Yeah I mean it's why I'm here. I'm much more interested in finding out about indie games then AAA games, if only because I probably already know about the AAA games. Especially because they're apparently AAAA these days, and presumably some of that budget includes advertising.

Thank you :))
