!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Bane of my existence. These game companies lock in and I bet my left pinky toe cuticle they sell our data too -_-
I'd wager selling your data as an additional income stream is one of the primary reasons some studios do it in the first place.
This is why a lot of sites demand an account log in if the user disables cookies (or at least they did for a while). They need those cookies to link the activity to a user, and since they can't do that secretly anymore, they just force the issue with a user account the user "chooses" to make.
I've seen sites straight up need money to deny cookies, yeah no im just leaving your site whatevers on there isn't worth
Just don't enter any real info, and use a spam email address.
What are they going to do? Check?
