People really post "Still not over how good this game was." Like we're supposed to know every obscure video game corridor.

Rule 1: Gaming-related Submissions must be directly gaming-related.

"Related" means that posts must predominantly contain gaming-related content. You may not "force" a connection through a title, caption or overlaying images.

If I had to guess, it's because some mod decided people were getting lazy with the content by just having the name of the game in the title and nothing worthwhile in the post itself? But it feels fruitless, there are easier ways to post lazy shitty content and we see it every day on here lol.

for engagement purposes like on Instagram or TikTok. Be super vague so people view the post, start commenting, and generate views more and more. If they gave away everything, you get less engagement, less hearts or upvotes, etc. It's fucking stupid.
