United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

You're taking the worst examples of a massive industry and misrepresenting them and demonizing them to make your point. You are deliberately misrepresenting one of the largest media industries (if not the largest) to strengthen your argument.
Hardware has become cheaper, games on average have become cheaper, games are not "ever more buggy" that's a symptom of AAA games being made by giant corporations, no idea wtf you are even bringing up "the uncanny valley" for that has no bearing on the conversation in any way, mobile gaming is very much its own thing and nearly every person I know that calls themselves a "gamer" has nothing to do with the type of game you are describing, and micro transactions are easily avoided if you don't play shitty corporate games.
Almost every single complaint you made is exclusive to AAA games made by greedy corporations. Meanwhile myself and most "gamers" I know largely play independent games with no microtransactions, no massive system requirements, and do so on older systems.
The only stupid thing to me right now is the post I am replying to.
It's the worst but it's also where most of the money goes....
