Developers must be verified before posting about their projects and, once they are, are not bound by rule #2.
This includes contextless images/screenshots/GIFs as well as anti-platform or PCMR language such as "master race" and calling people peasants.
Low effort posts/comments and submissions not attempting to create discussion are prohibited.
Tech support questions can be posted in our stickied tech support thread.
General game related discussion is allowed, but game-specific help requests (how to defeat a certain boss or level, what loadout is best for my character, etc) and basic questions (is a game co-op, does this game have controller support, etc) aren't. Those questions would be more appropriate for the game's subreddit if it exists.
This includes "Can my PC run this?" type questions, links showing off your computer build, or asking questions about builds.

Game suggestion requests and all their variations belong in the weekly game suggestion thread that runs from Fri - Sun.
This includes group/clan recruitment. Our Discord has channels for finding people to play with.
We no longer allow surveys. You can try /r/samplesize.
Please don’t make requests for spare game keys or PC parts. GoFundMe and other fundraising posts are also prohibited.
In addition to this, Youtube links posted by new accounts are filtered due to channel spamming.
Keep posts and comments related to PC gaming and the topic being discussed.

I am from Europe and i really want to get Helldivers 2 but its too expensive for my wallet so i tried searching for keys online but all the sites are either not legit or still really high in price. If possible could someone send a site that isnt expensive and isnt a scam. Would be cool.
Everyone is talking about it, every gaming YouTuber is playing it and posting content. I have a feeling it’ll be the most purchased and played game in day 1 in history.
And keep in mind, 1 guy made it. This puts AAA to shame.
For me I think it has to be Ark Survival Ascended.
Code needs to be claimed on the Microsoft store

I recently returned to Red Dead Redemption 2 and fell in love with the game all over again. Now I wonder what the developers will prepare in the third part. My bet is that it will be more of a prequel. :) What do you think about it?
Hello r/pcgaming,
I have been developing a first person shooter set in a pirate world called "The Book: Gunsmith's Battles Echoes" since October 2022. The gameplay loop is inspired by recent Doom titles, while the weapon aesthetics are influenced by Bioshock.
Back in January, after a beta test phase, I released the demo of the game, available for free on Steam. Since then, I have improved the demo based on community feedback, and yesterday, I released a major update (0.5.3) just before the Steam FPS Fest, which starts on April 15th.
If you want to take a look, here's the link
