live service game subreddits are such a fucking nightmare. i am here to get News about the game that i play but 99% of posts are either complaining via text posts or complaining via the least funny memes you can possibly imagine. i'm not on twitter and that's where most of the News happens so i'm out of the loop. send help

in reply to @jkap's post:
some are worse then others, like the destiny subreddit is one of the most rancid places i've ever been
from everything i've heard yeah it's awful. idk if the fortnite subreddit is As Bad but it is also a miserable experience
mmmhmm. fortnite seems pretty bad, esp with the devs approach sometimes. destiny is just the absolute worst because (extended 20 minute rant about the history of destiny) -and the game STILL doesn't have loadouts because of all of this, so yeah
Sounds like you need a custom RSS solution or maybe even just an RSS solution from someone who covers said game news, most websites have an RSS feed or you can just build one with a tool like rss app
Even if you wanted to stick to it (the feed content) being from Reddit you could implement filters that only include things that usually only show up in change logs/news posts
My main experience has been not on Reddit, but rather the official forums of games. The forums for Halo are a dumpsterfire of cynicism and the Bungie Forums are people complaining about or requesting stuff. I donβt have a Reddit account, but merelt scrolling thru the Reddit for a handful of games I play has turned me off the idea entirely
As a former live service game reddit mod, I feel this in my bones. I'd say the solution is a srs only subreddit away from the main one, but really a Discord webhook run by a fansite does a way better job than Reddit could anyway.
