!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.

Just kill off the company already. They have only put out absolute shit these last 2 decades. Just kill it and do us all a favour.
Probably where we're headed, 'private investors' is usually code for people who are going to strip and sell off the company.
I hope the IP lands somewhere good.
Honestly I hope the IPs get locked up and shredded in legal battles so that we can just start fresh with some new and original ideas.
There are some that I'd be sad about.
I'd really like to see American Mcgee somehow get the entirety of the Alice license back under his control. That man has been trying to finish his vision in some fashion for almost 2 decades now. I think he may have finally given up, but dude has had it rough and it's obviously his lifes work. I'd also love to see someone take the Sims back to its roots and I don't think anyone is going to get the money required to do it right without getting the name.
