Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Ok look, I hate Ubisoft, but this is sad. My condolences to his family. People being happy about this are disgusting.

maybe you should actually look into the kind of human this person was

the world is a better place without him

This is the kind of disgusting behavior that perpetuates people treating each other so horribly.

It’s terrible for the health of the Fediverse, too. And probably a legal liability.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

you're right.

look at all the good stuff Adolph Hitler gave the world!

[–] Mensh123@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

Casually comparing a game company founder to a brutal dictator who started a devestating war and an industrialized genocide is as strech to say the least.

Dude was a piece of shit. Why are you so eager to defend him?

It's okay to be happy awful people are dead.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

I never defended him. Just because I am sending his family my condolences doesn't mean I agree with what he did or believed, it only means that I am trying to be a good human.

Awful as in he was responsible for day one DLC and microtransactions or awful as in he raped and murdered children?

There's a spectrum and I'm not sure which end of it he's on based on your comments.

[–] grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't play Ubisoft games. I don't have a horse in that race.

He's awful because he was one of the money-addicted ownership class that collectively are ruining our world to fuel their addictions. Everyone in that class is a piece of shit and I don't find much value in trying to determine the particular vintage of shit we're dealing with. There are no "good guys" here.

I won't wish death or harm on any of them, but I'll certainly not shed a tear if karma gets them.

What's wrong with people making money because other people buy their video games? Are they hurting someone?

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Or you can just accept it as a net gain for humanity and move on.

No need to be either happy or sad.

Let's keep our dignity and behave nice, but also let's not pretend this is a tragedy, because it isn't.

[–] grinning_serpent@lemmy.world -2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Taking a steaming dump on their graves is keeping our dignity.

This man didn't give a tin shit about me, you, or anyone else while he lived. Why do we owe him decorum and consideration just because he got himself killed?

[–] DarkMetatron@feddit.org 3 points 47 minutes ago

Because we are better then him, thats why!
