Dear parents of /r/games, I’d love to hear your input on game time limits for your own children. I’ve done a lot of reading on this, and whilst there are rough guidelines out there (about 1 hour high quality screen time for kids up to 5), they are often qualified with statements like “setup a schedule that suits your family”. There are also debates and discussions about different types of screen time, active/interactive vs passive. In general, research is somewhat inconclusive.
​
However, I am specifically curious to find out what other gamer parents do with their kids, as I believe there is tremendous value in the bonding experience you have with your kids in a shared hobby (as opposed to the limits non-gamer parents might place on their kids gaming habits). I love games and I love to play with my kids (3 and 5 years old), but I also want some realistic perspective on other peoples’ experience with this. What are your daily gaming habits with …
#Happy New Year! Goodbye 2021!
2021 was filled with a lot of great games, but as we turn a new (and hopefully better) page to 2022 the amount of games scheduled to release this year is very exciting.

Hello all,
Today we want to show you our story-driven horror Bramble: The Mountain King.
Our game is inspired by Nordic folklore. You play as a young boy trying to find his sister and survive a dangerous journey in a magical forest that’s filled with creatures both terrifying and friendly. And although on the surface it is a horror game, you will also come across love and friendship too.
​
Here is a trailer that we showed off at last year’s E3.

#Happy new year /r/Games!!
With 2021 behind us and 2022 ahead of us, we would like to dedicate this thread to discussing all of the games you played this past year. What did you complete? What did you pick up but had to put down? Share your thoughts and lists below! Old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don’t just list off the games you’re playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you’re talking about by putting the title in bold.
Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you’re revealing anything about a game’s plot that may significantly impact another player’s experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.
This thread is set to sort comments by ‘new’ on default.

For a subreddit …
I’m making this post to warn everyone to be very careful when they use the chat feature in any modern EA game supported right now. (Console too.)
EA is permanently banning entire EA/Origin accounts for the simplest swear words without any context (Shitty, Idiot, Fuck, Ass etc.) without any way to get unbanned. Some examples that can get your EA account permanently deleted: 1 2 3 (<— Not mine)
Mine have been: “fucking trash servers”, “moron” and “fucking hell” which was enough to get my 6 year old account banned forever.
Meanwhile cheaters get to have way way nicer time since they not only get to keep their entire account but they also don’t get completely suspended from that game they cheated on.
Here’s a comparison of what happens if you swear 3 times vs if you cheat in EA game (Note: I’m using Apex Legends as an example.)

EDIT: GIVEAWAY OVER
​
Happy new year gamers. I’ve found a bunch of leftover Steam codes and I have no need for them so I’ll be giving them away. The giveaway is on a first-come, first-serve basis = if you see a game you like, DM me and I’ll send you the code if I still have it.
There is one GOG code, rest is STEAM. I don’t guarantee they all work but to my knowledge they should.
I will try updating the thread when codes are claimed, but if you see something you like, you should hurry up.
​
EDIT: please DM me your requests
