"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."
From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

What you're missing is that language is often used differently in subculture groups and other niches. Language frequently changes meaning depending on context, and that's how it's supposed to work.
Language never has been and never will be static. Shared slang is a very important part of signaling that you are part of an "in group", and it will always change rapidly, compared to language in more common usage.
Related: trans-phobic signaling that "they/them" should be used exclusively ~~singularly~~ as a plural, despite its common use as a gender neutral pronoun for centuries.
I think you mean... plurally?
Long before I had any knowledge of transgender or even transexuality, I knew to use they/them when gender was unknown. I agree that the "singular they" is long accepted, correct, common English.
