Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Pay for the games that have good consumer practices.
For the predatory games, either find some other way to get them.....or don't play/pay at all.
It's good advice, but past experience strongly suggests not enough people are going to follow it to make a difference. I think the only way game pubishers and other media companies reform their practices is if there are enforced government regulations requiring them to do so.
Both, really. In fact I'd say all three:
We should pressure reviewers too. Even if it is an otherwise "good" game, if the company has a history of this bullshit then it should get a shit score. And they should mention that at the beginning and end of their reviews. At minimum.
If there's not a majority willing to step up and do whats right, then we get what we deserve.
Im tired of the idea of legislating good behaviour
If people en masse want to try to blame other people for their choices, that's on them. Bringing the legal system into it just tells everyone "hey, dont bother being responsible for your actions" without addressing the issue: people dont give a shit about making good choices
The simple solution is for people to choose wisely with their dollars. If they choose to support shitty producers thats the problem. No need to make being assholes illegal
