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.

MODERATORS
It should have been optimized to run good on common PC configurations. It should have mods since day 1 via the Steam Workshop.
This would have solved 99% of all complaints.
Sadly short-sighted "money now" comes first
Which leads to less money. I’d prefer a few failed games and the industry learns. Fun games sell, it microtransaction nor half baked shovelware. Some strike it lucky with micro transactions, but only if the game is good.
I know. I'm personally looking forward to WB declaring bankruptcy now that the morons have announced they're doubling down on shitservice despite Hogwarts and Shiticide Squad showing what the public actually wants.
In my experience I’m actually impressed with the ‘full simulation’ performance so far.
Absolutely it was released far too early, I’m looking forward to feature parity with CS1 and getting it to a proper state.
