!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.

I think it's great they're charging such a reasonable price, but I hope people don't hold other smaller devs to this standard and compare them one to one. It's a lot easier to charge $20 when you're about to sell a bajillion copies of something. A solo dev making something way smaller might charge $20, too, but they may only sell a few dozen copies.
In other words, celebrate the pro consumer decision but please don't use it as a cudgel against other indies in the future.
Nah, this is gaming. Get your grounded nuance out of here! Indies must meet these personal expectations of mine. Holds hand impossibly high.
I expect perfect ray tracing with my igpu!
And I only accept as a true Indie when it has its own game engine!
