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
As long as this is for single player games, I have no problem people cheating. But why does this need a patent?
Because incredibly stupid things can be patented, companies want to get in before other parties (often patent trolls) patent ideas, and also to build up their own warchest of patents, even if they never exercise them. It's a forced war because of a broken system.
