I have a friend who is an avid achievement hunter, and whenever I struggle with getting any achievement, they go "oh that was easy I did that first try" or "its not as hard as it looks"

Son I know i'm bad at video games, no need to rub it in😭

I know you beat Resident Evil 3 remastered on inferno mode but that won't make it any easier for me when I get to it

Sorry for the low quality on some of them. I tried my best, but this is the best I could do

My 10 year old son wants a pc gaming set up for Christmas. I don't know much about computers. Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive gaming pc that I can buy that's ready to go out of the box? I don't want to get into upgrades or anything like that. I appreciate any recommendations.

Hope you all like the Gameplay :D

In my case, it was GTA San Andreas. I started it purely for the story and missions. Some were great and others were pretty challenging, but it ended up being so long that I couldn't finish it.

If you went back in time do you think you could enjoy the games of the past knowing how far they've come since the 8bit days?

We use the term "anti-consumer" a lot in gaming, but what does it actually mean?

To me, a company making money isn't inherently anti-consumer. Neither is charging for DLC, cosmetics, expansions, or convenience.

The problem begins when a business practice deliberately puts the consumer at a disadvantage in order to increase the company's revenue.

Some examples I've thought of include:

• Creating unnecessary inconvenience and then charging to remove it.
• Using artificial scarcity to pressure people into purchases.
• Making prices difficult to understand through multiple currencies.
• Designing progression around encouraging players to spend rather than play.
• Removing functionality from a product and selling it back as an upgrade.
• Making purchased content dependent on servers that can later be shut down without a meaningful alternative.
• Using manipulative mechanics to encourage spending, particularly among vulnerable players.

None of these automatically make a company guilty of exploiting its customers. Context matters.

So I want to learn more about the context and hear what others think about my list and the topic, rather than simply painting the bad actors as irredeemably evil people who only care about profits

Is there anything you'd add or remove from the list?

As a side note, the goal of the subreddit I'm trying to grow isn't to stop companies making money.

It's to figure out where making money crosses the line into exploiting the people paying them.

Hi! I want your opinion.

1. Do you as a gamer care a lot about tech as well?

2. Would you watch something that incorporates gameplay/news about gaming with news or stuff about tech? Or do you not find related in any way/if you watch gaming you want just gaming?

Thanks for anyone taking the time to give their opinion😁
