!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.

It's 1980 and a reasonable price for a new [what would later be called] AAA computer game is $50.

It's 2000 and a reasonable price for a new AAA computer game is $50.

It's 2020 and a reasonable price for a new AAA computer game is $50.

It's 2100 and a reasonable price for a new AAA computer game is $50.

Nah, they're trying to make $70-80 the new "reasonable" price for an AAA game.

Key word: "trying."

People are paying it, so it is working.
