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.

"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.

Words can't describe how much I love that gif

I KNOW! I kept thinking of it all day.

I'm just dumbfounded by it all.

I mean utterly dumbfounded. Like, how? How does a guy like this exist? I don't mean like a Douchebag or an idiot even. This guy just screams troll, but he's totally serious.

Hasn't anyone ever been at a party where someone tells a racist joke and everyone laughs, then the joke teller says in a serious tone that he believes his joke to be 100% truth and that said denomination needs to be executed? It feels like that, really. Like this guy is weaving a weird tale of misspelled words and douchebaggery/stupidity, and then just confirms to everyone that he means it all.

Maybe I lost some more faith in humanity here today. I dunno, kudos to Penny Arcade for fighting the good fight though.

These people are all over and run small businesses with a frightening regularity. Usually 2-10 people, and the businesses usually collapse under their idiocy.

[–]Nerkson 1 point2 points ago

I can imagine why. It's scary to think that this kind of business is out there. My Brothers are trying to start a business and I'll have to make sure they don't end up with an Ocean Stratagy on their hands..

My old boss literally told me to just find shit on Google from other companies in the same "genre" and copy their copy/agreements, changing minor things. People are shitheads.

They are everywhere. Humanity should be ashamed for taking so few of them to task.

I was gone for two days. Feels like I missed out on a lot. Anyone care to catch me up?

[–]Mr_A 6 points7 points ago

Part 1 - It all started here. Read the content, then read through the comments. Don't skimp out, go at least five to ten parent comments down. They are all good and serve as a starting point for some of the information that is to follow.

Part 2 - By the time the dust settled on PArt 1 up there, this had happened. ...Yeah.

Part 3 - The human interest angle.

Part 4 - Its started leaking into the mainstream already.

Part 5 - An update from Penny Arcade about the situation. Note how long it took for it to get from part 1 to here. The whole thing has taken place over fifteen hours of internet time.

Hell yeah! Thanks for the time-line!

thanks for that, missed Reddit for a day (work, yay ) and had no idea what was going on

[–]highskymarshall 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wow thanks a lot for the effort. I got some snatches from other places but this covers it really well.

I feel bad for the developer of the controller though and the needy customers who might be hurt by the bad PR.

had to go to work all day, couldn't wait to see the shit-storm erupt. it didn't disappoint.

It has actually distracted me from playing skyrim.. for a little while anyway. I wanted popcorn for breakfast it was so entertaining.

Does anyone have the video clip of where this is from? I have tried to find it in the past, but I haven't found it. I thought it might be DeStorm, but he has a lot of videos and, yeah.

This is why we need to allow submissions that only reference gaming in the title, but not in the actual content. This is possibly the most hilarious thing on the front page of /r/gaming.

Eh, I'm kinda bored with it all already.

[–]AnonUhNon 1 point2 points ago

No reason to downvote this. I still find it incredible, personally, but I can see why others would be bored.

This has nothing to do with gaming, but cool story bro.
