With Games with Gold removed, the Lemmy community and subreddit have lost their purpose. What should we do with the Lemmy community?
Strawpoll available here: https://strawpoll.com/Q0ZpR9L69nM
Option #1: Leave it open as an archive to Games with Gold
By choosing this option, the community won't see any major changes, barring the lack of Games with Gold posts. The community would remain open for posting and discussion. This option is best for remembering what Games with Gold was and nostalgia.
Option #2: Private the community (similar to the API protests)
By choosing this option, the Lemmy community would be closed. Unless there is significant community outreach, the community would remain closed permanently. This option may help prevent confusing users who may not be informed about the Games with Gold program being ended.
Option #3: Become a community dedicated to GamePass Core
By choosing this option, the community would have GamePass Core updates posted to it, with an emphasis on games being rotated in and out of the catalog. This option would give the community a new purpose, and help actively maintain the community. It does have the downside of the community name potentially being deceiving for new members expecting active Games with Gold content.
If you have any ideas for options, please feel free to leave them in the comments. Depending on the level of support your option gains, and the level of support the other options gain, we might be able to restart the poll with your option available.
If option 2 is chosen, I just want to say: I've really enjoyed running C/gameswithgold and supporting the community! I really hope I helped leave a positive impact on everyone, even if that positive impact is as small as claiming a game. -Ryanlf999
Once again, the Strawpoll for voting is located here: https://strawpoll.com/Q0ZpR9L69nM
Agreed. At least Gamepass Core might be able to provide a little more value in terms of the games we will have access to.
