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.

Those viruses have been awfully sing-songy lately.

Bro, No high pressure protective space gas cavity surrounding the inner cable? Enjoy your distorted image.

[–]hefnetefne 8 points9 points ago

How the fuck is this not false advertising?

[–]rlaptop7 5 points6 points ago

There is nearly no consumer protection for companies presenting false claims of their products, hence all of the snake oil's on the market.

Corporate personhood allows companies to say nearly anything they like.

There are limits, but if a company wants to claim a cable has "virus protection" nobody is going to stop them.

So why doesn't Coke still sell their product as a health serum?

Dr. Pepper? Root Beer? They were also sold as health serums. Plus, how the hell is cocaine supposedly responsible for any kind of health benefits?

a joke... right.

Anyway, last time I checked, false advertising was illegal, and to me this is clearly that.

My television has been hooked up to some pretty shady devices, I just want to make sure my Xbox is practicing safe connection and doesn't catch anything

I always hated those virus noises

[–]bnuuug 0 points1 point ago

If you don't have this cable you might as well just play games through telegrams exchanged with developers.

[–]KambioN 0 points1 point ago

[–]HowieFeltersnitz 0 points1 point ago
