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 effects the poorest people most, which should be the reason everyone hates it, no matter your personal choice of media.
Buying used games at the pawn shop, borrowing from your library or friend, etc is right and good.
Publishers doing day 1 patches, etc is not an excuse to justify abolishing access.
In fact, day 1 patches should either not be a thing, or cost as much as a voluntary recall of the first batches of disks did in 2005.
Instead of being happy they don't need to spend billions to prevent a fiasco, they squirm at the thought of someone not going through their racket to get a loicence.
A legislated digital refresh on the second hand disc market would be nice consumer protection policy. But no, community servers are too much to ask for from these fucks.
