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.

MODERATORS
It’s not laziness, that’s always been a stupid oversimplification. The workers work hard on your entertainment product. It‘s a business decision.
When hearing laziness that’s always been my assumption. Laziness due to business.
Laziness implies that the workers who make the actual games are lazy which is obviously not true, unfair and audacious. Just use the right words.
To what end?
To optimise project parameters.
In other words, to take a shortcut to avoid expending resources at the cost of quality.
Yes. It‘s basic theory. Everyone does it all the time and you‘ll always find a customer/user who will say that some aspect of quality has been reduced too much.
It's pedantry really. No one thought they meant the devs just didn't feel like optimizing it.
