Your comments made me curious what our threshold for “too new” is, my first guess being 5 years. (Thanks XKCD.)

It’s actually

catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game

according to our sidebar. But you pose a good question if Early Access release counts as release, especially if it’s been in EA for this long.

Ooo, fellow Linux gamer. Did you check ProtonDB to see if they have a fix for your issue? I’m hyped for Timberborn but also have a personal rule to never buy Early Access. Also, we would like this post over in !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works.

I just found !turn_based_tactics@lemmy.zip, might want to add that to post body

This is probably a decision for someone else to make. I would not be a primary contributor to any strategy community, at most maybe a post every two months or so when one crosses my feed.

Wait why? I thought we were trying to consolidate away from lemmy.world because it’s the biggest and we want to help others grow to its size, and there are lots of strategy communities not on .world. The other listed ones seem specific to subgenres, but !strategygames@sopuli.xyz is general and not .world.

(I have no beef with .world aside from it being the biggest when we’re trying to shoot for decentralization, in which case 20 big instances to choose from is much better than 1 big instance and a few medium and a bunch of small ones—if you strike down a big one, which situation leaves the most servers and content for everyone? It’s not .world’s fault and I have no animosity towards them. Just happens that they are the biggest so they really do not need any help right now.)

Thanks! Was definitely hoping to eventually have a strategy community to lurk in. Interested in the genre but do not know enough to feel comfortable aiding in their revival past an obvious strategy game post that comes across my feed once in awhile, or their consolidation.

Just checked the links, since you said you did not crosspost.

It’ll say it was crossposted if it is the same link, even if someone else posted it and it was years ago. This is not perfect of course, sometimes I have posted the same link in three relevant communities and you would think each post would have two links: one for each other community, but each post only has one link.

Clicked to ask if you crossposted to discounted game communities, was pleased to see I didn’t actually need to ask because you have already done that.
