Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

As always, piracy is almost always a service problem.
Imagine if exclusives didn't exist and people could just access games they would like to play. Siiiigh.
I had subbed to Arcade back when this came out just to see if I’d be into such a service. I even bought a backbone one. I played just a little bit of WoD, about half of that adorable diorama JRPG from the final fantasy guy, and maybe a few minutes of a lot of other stuff. It’s all really good stuff, I just really can’t get into gaming on a phone. My backbone has been largely untouched for years.
That shit was always objectively a bad idea, anyone who bought into streaming games should never have been allowed to be in charge of their own money to begin with.
