- 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.

then this will be the year indie games take over
Let’s just hope Unity isn’t included in that success to come. They are a large part of this figure.
well, i guess Unity apologized and the CEO quit...
but i do hope some of the more truly open source game engines replace it...
They apologized and replaced their CEO but then got rid of a quarter of the company, people that probably had nothing to do with their terrible management last year.
That's what I was thinking too. Let's hope that happens. When these developers get freedom to make games without corporate overlords pushing for dumb things in games, really great innovative games seem to be made. Let's hope.
or maybe the year the source code to every game gets leaked (:
I almost exclusively enjoy indie games.
