!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.

Nah this can't be a real article.
It's real but it probably isn't what you think it is

Ah yeah Arma had an entire expansion on this theme. Press, Red Cross, and civilian playable models. It's actually a pretty cool concept.
I don't know if I'm excited about the idea of gamifying atrocities.
On the one hand, you're going to have the inevitable "What's the most/worst number of crimes I can commit in the game?" reactionary freak streamer.
On the other, you're going to have the Model UN Liberal insisting that NATO couldn't be committing any war crimes, because he already played the Liberation of Rafa mission on War Crimes Simulator 4 using the same tactics outlined in the press briefing and got a perfect score.
