Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

The one that truly astounds me is the 1,000,000,000+ hours per month. Holy fuck balls is that a mindbogglingly large amount of time. That is 41, 416, 666 days. 114,155 years. You could watch Titanic 309,278,350 times. You could listen to the entire Beatles discography 13,888,888 times. That is 1,459 human lifetimes based on the United States average life expectancy. Christ that is a long time. And this is just the game time PER FUCKING MONTH.

Please note that I used averages and rounded these numbers down without much consideration for the decimals so they are not exact figures.

EDIT: Corrected days.

Also you missed the decimal on your count of days.

I know a total of three people who are familiar with League of Legends, and they're DotA fans (also the only three I know who've heard of DotA), and I met two of them in the same group of people.

I don't know anyone who's ever played a video game in their teenage or adult life that doesn't know what Halo is.

How is this possible? This is more incongruous than Counter Strike's popularity.
