!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.

I think it's just a little game to help you learn to type. I don't think there's really a grift.
Honestly if it’s a game where the difficulty is structured around teaching you a skill then the the devs response is actually kinda on point (while also funny). It’s like someone submitting a complaint that the piano is too difficult and the skill bar should be lowered so that they shouldn’t have to just practice and learn to play like everybody else. But I could be wrong (I usually am)
There's zero indication that was their comment, though. All they said was they commented "on a feature", not that it's too hard.
I mean, there aren't many free games that are actually free...
That depends on what free means, if it's a GPL game it's free as in gratis
But your point still stands, we should be weary about free games or apps.
But gratis just means you don't have to pay for it. If it was free as in GPL way it'd be free as in "libre" I think
It's either free or a demo.
