!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.

Everyone: It's a scam, game runs like crap, so many bugs, etc. etc., all valid points.

People who like it anyway: vrrroooommm weeeeeee, pew pew pew, vsksshhh, crash. Reload. Vrrroooooommm.....

Who cares, go have your own fun, leave us to ours 🙄

Edit: down voted for wanting to have my own fun? Fine, I'll go play with my toy spaceship with out you.

If you squint, the Star Citizen logo kinda looks like the symbol for The People's Temple

You're not going to have any luck with the general population. They've been conditioned to hate star citizen by all these lazy asshole "journalists" that can't be bothered to look into what they're writing about past the big dollar sign...

What really pisses me off though is we get the whole "stupid AAA publishers rushed out XYZ game to meet a quarterly financial report!" with every single game that comes out. "Why didn't they just give it time to cook! Release when it's ready!"

Now we have star citizen almost entirely backed by users with no date pressure as there is no publishing company forcing their hand and they're building what will be the most amazing space MMO we're likely to ever see because they have the time and the resources, but instead of awe we get this trash "ItS nOt ReAdY yEt!? MiLlIoNs Of DoLlArS!" article over and over and over again...

If they did actually follow the project they'd know that SQ42 is likely to be released next year and star citizen is already talking about release 1.0...

Bahh bahh bahh goes the media sheep.
