Announcement We Do Not Allow Self Promotion On This Subreddit. Here's A Small FAQ About Why
That's correct, we don't accept any self promotion on this subreddit, as per reddiquette guidelines , and our rules, which people don't seem to be reading, which is why I am making this very easy to read, hard to miss FAQ so there can be no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Why can't I post my own content?
We do allow some self made content, but it has to be in the right context. We take the type of content you post into consideration, and we look at your post history to see if you're posting your content anywhere else. If we see you're using a shotgun approach to posting your content on multiple subreddits with the intent on getting a wide audience, you're going to have a bad time. If you're actively engaging with the community and not just spamming links to your stuff on a bunch of subreddits you'll generally be fine.
But my clip/content doesn't count as self promotion! What gives?
You might not see it as such, but if mods remove it, we see it as such. We're not trying to pick on you or single you out, these rules apply to everyone. We are taking lots of factors into account to make sure we are being fair about what gets removed.
Should I try to contact individual mods after not getting the answer I want from appealing my case in modmail?
Nope. We made our decision in modmail, and we are sticking to it. Individual mods aren't going to go against the grain just because you asked. It's not going to help your case, and often times we find it annoying.
But I didn't see the rule or this post!
Well that sucks. Pleading ignorance to the rules of a subreddit isn't helping your case, you should always know what is and isn't allowed on a subreddit before posting. Not knowing what content to post is a fast track to getting your post removed.
But my gaming montage is super cool and unique, I should be allowed to post it!
Too bad, we don't allow it.
But I need/already have the views
Not really our problem if you need views, this subreddit doesn't exist solely for your benefit.
I just got sent this post by a mod, what should I do?
Congrats on not being able to scan the subreddit before posting whatever it is you posted. I suggest you remove the violating content and try not to violate the rules again. If you got banned, sorry, but that ban was most likely justified.

Announcement State of the Subreddit 2023 and the Future of Gaming4Gamers
Howdy all, after reopening the subreddit yesterday, it seems like many people forgot about us altogether. We've been around for ~10 years now, and we've kind of fallen off in terms of activity. We only get the occasional post outside of what /u/carolina_heart posts, and a large portion of those are still self-promotion/spam. It seems like we've faltered from our initial idea of having a middle ground between /r/gaming and /r/games that we originally set out to provide, and it doesn't seem like people are clamoring for much of an alternative outside of the already established subreddits. There has been some discussion between mods, and the sentiment is to see where people want us to do going forward. We could archive the subreddit and put it in read-only mode for people to look back on, we could keep going as is, or pivot to something else entirely if there's enough support behind some other idea.
I encourage feedback in the comments as to how to move forward, since this should be a community decision first and foremost.

Discussion How scary are the resident evil and silent hills games?
For someone like me who is a self described chicken. How scary are they?
For reference, I’m playing through Alan Wake 2 right now and I’m fine, not scary at all.
Played through the resident evil 2 remake and was mostly okay.
Had to keep my hand in front of my eyes throughout playing PT when it came out on PS4 and noped out real quick…
I feel like I’m missing out with resident evil 7 onwards, and silent hill f as well as townfall look super good from what I’ve seen.
But again, chicken.
