Petition for Silksong to be considered an honorary patient gamer game, given I waited seven years to play it.


I remember seeing these in malls, and I didn’t think they were a game back then, either.

I mean, maybe this one actually is a game somehow, but… what a thing to take your inspiration from.


What percentage of video game jobs are in California?



New Team Cherry silkpost:

We’ve run out of Silksong stock!

Please check back in [seven years].

See you soon!


Going just off the name, I’m imagining a fascist Pokémon game.



So cool of ConcernedApe to collab with smaller, independent creators in the cozy space!


So how does this tie into what’s happening now? Part of Vought and Project 2025’s plans are to remove Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA). This law currently protects platform holders, providing immunity for any content uploaded to said platform that third-party users created.

By removing Section 230, platform holders, like Steam, would be liable for any “illegal” content uploaded to the platform, as opposed to those creating and uploading said content. If Steam were found guilty of hosting this content, the company could be hit with huge fines. Therefore, Steam, Itch, and many other platforms would likely place a blanket ban on any adult content, mitigating any risk of fines or other legal action. This, as pointed out on Reddit, would affect all forms of user-generated content, including fan art, mods, and videos, not just games themselves.

Seems like a deceptive headline.

The real takeaway is: Project 2025 guy also wants to do the platform-level censorship thing, but by removing legal protections (Section 230) instead of using payment processors.


I came to Lemmy to avoid clickbait marketing.

There. Saved you a click.


I’d rate IGN a 7/10. It has a little bit of something for everyone.


Supposedly, they're rolling back the [price increase for all holiday releases](https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/microsoft-concedes-that-the-outer-worlds-2-retail-price-was-too-high). > "We’re focused on bringing players incredible worlds to explore, and **will keep our full priced holiday releases, including The Outer Worlds 2, at $69.99** – in line with current market conditions," an Xbox spokesperson explained in a statement to Windows Central. > > If you've already pre-ordered The Outer Worlds 2 at the $79.99 price point, you will have to grab refunds at the point of purchase if you've already paid up. Microsoft says some retailers will light up with refunds today, but some will start accepting refunds from tomorrow. Then, you can pre-order again at the new $69.99 price tier.
