Canadian video games, gamers, and gaming news!

Give'r Gaming serves as a community for all of the above, highlighting Canadian game devs, development studios, and, of course, games!

Know of any great Canadian games for people to try out? Please feel free to share them here to help support developers and the incredible works they put out!

Community Rules:

  1. Lemmy.ca instance rules and guidelines are to be followed at all times.
  2. All games, game developers, and gaming personalities shared must be Canadian. This community's purpose is to help bolster and bring visibility to the Canadian gaming sphere.
  3. NSFW games are allowed. However, posts sharing these games MUST be tagged as NSFW with posts being removed if this is not done.
  4. Games promoting Web3 technologies such as NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and other such things will be removed and greeted with a permanent ban from the community.
  5. Games promoting online gambling (think online casinos) will also be removed and greeted with bans.

These rules will likely be worked on as the community here grows.

Give'r Gaming - A New Lemmy Community for the Canadian Gaming Sphere! (lemmy.ca)

Today I decided to go through with acting on a thought that's been sitting on my mind for about a week now:

"What if there was a community centred specifically around Canadian video games and the Canadian video game sphere?"

Give'r Gaming serves just that purpose. This community is one I hope to work on in fostering and bringing light to Canadian talents in the video game sphere. Whether it be a larger game development studio based here in Canada such as Behaviour Interactive or BioWare (unfortunately owned by EA, an American company), or smaller indie operations with cult classics such as Maddy Makes Games and their iconic game Celeste, all are welcomed in this community!

As this community grows, hopefully the list of resources available will do the same. Planned features for this community are perhaps Megathreads on Canadian developers, Canadian gaming news publishers, and perhaps even public game nights once the community grows large enough!

In any case, I hope to see y'all there! Cheers!
