!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we donβt 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.

God thats the worst..
"Build a Coop"
If they force you to buy the items they are, by definition, necessary (in context of the game that is).
But are there actually games that do this? Mostly they give you the tokens needed for free to goad you into playing the game 'for free' and extort you later on as the game gets increasingly unplayable without buying the stuff.
