Patient Gamers

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

This community is a dup of the one at Lemmy.ml (lemmy.ml)

There's another community already for patient gamers here: !patientgamers@lemmy.ml.

Consider consolidating to just one community to not split our relatively small group.

I've joined both, but will probably be more active at the other.

There is something ironic about a bunch of authoritarian nutjobs making an free and open source decentralized platform.

Hardly dumb. Offer a free and open space you secretly have a back door into and let it get populated. This happens all the time. A recent example would be some crypto exchanges that were secure and anonymous that suddenly disappeared with all the accounts.

I'm sure you can think of other examples too!

-edit- At first I thought it was just satire, related to "communism" thing, more just anti Laissez-faire monopoly capitalism(yes I had to google how to spell that repeatedly!). But...wow, I'm the one that is nieve it seems!

Nothing a hard fork can't fix :D

EDIT: in the git sense, not literally stabbing people with a hard fork

Open source is similar in spirit with communism, which is all about equality of access to resource (or in this case, source codes). Like in communism, you could say some comrades are more equals than others.
