!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.

The funny fact than i don't give a fuck for both games

ITT: Folks comparing labor hours without cost of those hours.

Folks, coders who understand how game engines work and can make graphically intense well running games are 3.5-4 times more expensive per hour.

I really can't believe I have to spell this out for everyone. Do you really think naughty dog or Rockstar aren't hiring folks at 200k+ to work on these games for thousands of hours only still to fuck out up after 6 years of development?

I'm not saying 3d is better, it's clearly too expensive for everyone to push these boundaries and different tools for different games; but this is just the economic reality.
