Well today is the day! Gamer Zone is officially launched.
I am actually feeling a bit sick today but I still wanted to get this community launched because it is important to me. I believe it took me about 1 day longer than I said to get this post done so sorry for the delay there!

So what is "Gamer Zone?" Gamer Zone is a community of gamers for gamers. We strive to post high quality posts about high quality games.
"High quality" is subjective but I would rather set the bar high so if we fall short, we still have achieved success as a community.
Community Rules:
- No Web 3.0 games.
- No Mobile games.
- No F2P games.
- You must request access in the comments of this post to be a blog poster.
Q&A
Q. What do I mean by Web 3.0 games?
A. Web 3.0 games are anything that is play to earn, play to own, crypto/blockchain, or NFT games.
Q. What do I mean by Mobile games?
A. Mobile games are going to be games like Pokemon Go, PUBG Mobile, Candy Crush, Fortnite, etc.
Q. Why do I say no F2P games.
A. 99% of F2P games I would consider low quality or at least not interesting to read about imo. I honestly can't think of a F2P that is going to be ok to post so this is just a hard no for now. I might change my mind later. TBD.
Q. What about games that are both F2P and have a P2P component?
A. If you pay to play World of Warcraft and have something cool you want to post about that is encouraged. If you are playing Runescape for free then I would say no on Runescape.
Even if you do not have the resources to pay for video games, you can still participate in the community through comments.
People who are whitelisted as authors will be getting curated by me so they will also need to be "good" stakeholder (based on my critera) to post as an author in this community. I say they need to be a "good" stakeholder because I mostly only curate "good" stakeholders. (I upvote burn posts, HBD Comments, and Snaps sometimes but those are exceptions). I am going to do a separate post in the future about what I think is a "good" stakeholder.
Also, there is an unspoken rule on Hive that people are not supposed to post more than once every 24 hours. I do not post daily so I thought breaking this rule to launch a new community was ok. 🤷♂
Please use the comments of this post to ask me questions and make a case for other rules you think we should have. If you think these rules are too strict and you want to give feedback in that regard that is encouraged.
Longterm I would like to see different kinds of posts in here. Like if we could get some people using 3speak and writing a blog post to go with their video that would be cool. That being said, some content is not worth streaming and better in blog post form so I will leave that up to the author if they want to use 3speak.
Hopefully this community can be something fun that will make 2026 a little more positive. Ideally we create content that people want to engage with.
Cheers,
Hurt
i usually post a few financial stuff in leofinance, i'd like to post in tradfi.. stuff like my post i wrote today.. NOT the options stuff.. :P
If you write a TradFi post it needs to follow these rules.
It doesn’t look like your recent posts follows these rules 😅
Here is the link to the full post https://peakd.com/hive-143901/@hurtlocker/tradfi-guidelines-update-member-and-authors-access-update
gotcha.. cool. i watch btc, but yea.. i mostly post personal things nowadays.. :P
I would love to participate in your new community. I have a question: do I have to be a player, or are you open to discussing games that have caught my attention in the past, or any game that interests me now even if I don't play it? Do they necessarily have to be paid games?
I think it would need to be a game you have played before. I guess it is hard for me to understand what you are asking without examples.
If someone was a big Elder Scrolls player, and Elder Scrolls was coming out with a new game, I could see someone writing about the game before it came out.
Yes I think so. Most F2P games already have a lot of content on Hive.
Ultimately I would like people in the community to write about something that would interest other people who read the post.
I understand, I'll participate by leaving comments and learning more about games, thanks for the clarification.

No time for old men! (to play games 🤣) But I'll be following this community to see if anything piques my interest.
You can become old but still be young at heart ☺️
I'm sure I'll comment, all my support to your new gaming community
Thank you! It is much appreciated!
Congrats on the launch, sounds interesting. What about retro games, are those allowed?
For sure! Retro Games are def allowed!
Awesome!
Get better soon, potato dragon man.
Rules seems alright to me, I think we can discuss if anything comes up.
I also want access to be an author.
Added!
LOL thanks I usually get better pretty quickly I just need to rest some.
Thanks for the feedback on the rules. I am sure I will have to adjust things later but I think this is a good starting point at least.
cool. sounds like a good new community. i wish u luck..
i used to be a big gamer back in the day, but not nowadays. i rather 'play' in stuff like seeing how much HP i can amass. :)
Many Congratulations on thus new community launch. I remember your talked about this gaming community and it's nice to have this gaming community.
I play splinterlands and post more often about the game. I am not sure if I am eligible to post and get whitelisted so please help me understand if I am eligible.
Splinterlands is Web 3.0 gaming and I want to avoid Web 3.0 for now.
We are going to be looking for games that someone might stream on Twitch for example.
If there are non crypto and non mobile games you are interested in those would be a better fit.
I hope you feel better, bud. Hopefully it's just allergies and not the flu that's going around.
I play Raid: Shadow Legends as a P2P player. It's primarily computer based, but I play exclusively on my phone or tablet, since it's just easier. It's kind of a gray area, so I figured I'd ask if that would still be acceptable. If it is, can I please be added as an author? 😁
Even if not, I love the idea!
As far as the "unspoken rule," I was always told it's no more than two per day, but honestly if someone wants to get bent out of shape over it, I say forget them.

Mmmmh I just googled Raid: Shadow Legends and it says it’s a mobile game.
Mmmmh but then I read more and see most people use PC because it’s so power intensive on the phone.
Let’s just keep it simple and say no for now since it launched as a mobile game and had the PC port later.
Thank you for the positive feedback and for asking before making a post!
It helps a lot when people ask first!
This is the issue with unspoken rules. We have no idea what the actual rule is 😂
Ah, okay. Thanks anyway!
I go by what Captain Barbossa says: "The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules." 😆
Another community, great. Good luck. I play some 3.0 games. The number dropped thanks to the Arcade Colony demise. Given the state of games on Hive, I don't blame you for leaving out the 3.0 games.
I only have a dedicated graphics card in my PC, so I don't usually play 2.0 games. But let's see the posts.
Congratulations on your new community! I can't play paid web2 games; my allowance isn't enough yet. My PC is a clunker, haha. Sometimes he doesn't even want to walk y eso que solo la uso para abrir correos e imágenes.
But I'll be commenting And I will participate
Get well soon, don't walk barefoot or wear anything too cold.
My translator has a very crude AI Make up words I haven't said 😬
I hope you understand. Take care.
I hear you. PCs are expensive.
Lol don’t worry about the translator thing. I understand… I think 😅
You know, I think they put an AI in Google Translate; it translates everything in its own way (according to it, perfectly, but sometimes it changes everything).
with hReplier
Now this hurts.. anyways, need to look for some cool games that are not so expensive to play around! Grats on the launch of your new community santa hurt!
get well soon!
99% is a little harsh. Maybe I should have said 80%? 😅
I mean Clash of Clans is cool. I just don’t understand what blogging about games like Clash of Clans would even look like.
sorry o forgot to mention this santa hurt.. can i join this community? thanks! :)
I added you!
Thanks!
thanks santa hurt!!
before its pure cellphone/ipad game when i started playing it but recently it can be played on PC using like google play. And i played the game not pouring money on it. Just playing it. And leveled things accordingly.
Hi guys, I usually upload content about retro gaming in 3speak. Could I be a member of this community?
Regards.
Yea I just looked at some of your posts and they look really good from what I see.
Just a heads up, I do curate based on if someone is a "good" stakeholder. There is a lot that goes into that and I will make a Hive post about that a different day when I have more energy.
Most people look at KE ratio though when they are looking for "good" stakeholders.
Either way, I will make a post about KE and good stakeholder a different day when I am not sick 🙂
Great, pal! I really wish you a speedy recovery 🙌 .
I'll be waiting for that KE post about.
Thanks I appreciate it! I'm not going to lie, Hive is kind of confusing at times so I really need energy before I write about something like that lol.
I got you added! Thanks for joining!
Got it! And don't worry, take your time pal 👍
I hope you get better soon and that your new community is a success. I'll be commenting; for now, I play Roblox, Minecraft, and Brawl Stars. My budget is very low, but I'll be supporting you.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing your comments in here 😃
Is F2P Free to Play? Like Games you get for free in the AppStore?
What about Retro Games back from the old days? I asked that before I think but that would be stuff I loved to post about from time to time. The games I loved to play when I was young. PC but maybe also GameBoy Classics. No Idea if that is of interest but I can imagine people would like that.
PS: Get better soon, mate! Cool you were able to kick off the new Community nevertheless. 💪🏻
Yea F2P is games you get for free on the App Store. League of legends is technically free to play as well.
Retro Games is totally fine.
Like some Retro gaming posts are actually really interesting.
Let me know if you want access to be an author in here and I’ll add you.
Ok then please put me on the list. I probably won‘t post that much since TradFi is my focus but some gaming stuff would be fun too.
Added! Wahoo!
Cool! 🤙🏻😎
hmmm I want to request an access but I am not sure I will post that with this account later lol.
Well I hope this community could grow well as time goes by..
Thanks for the good vibes!
I am not sure what this means. 😅
I mean if I post, mostlikely I might mostlikely use another account. I feel like using one account to post wide various genre make people dizzy lol. Better be specific for each account, just my 2 cent there
Ahh makes sense.
Yea don't want to be promoting vertigo
Yes!! I'll surely comment in this community... As for posting I don't know, I'm not good at writing games reviews 😅
I agree no web3, no mobile, f2p I'd say it depends on the title, while most are garbage, some are really good like starcraft 2 which is free, at least multiplayer - wise, or quake champions, heroes of the storm was pretty decent too
O that’s awesome StarCraft 2 is free now.
I don’t think it used to be free though.
You are right there are some good F2P ones. I will reconsider the no F2P rule at some point in the future.
Just like TradFi, I will probably change the rules overtime. Thanks for the feedback!
Yep it has become free since like 4-5 years, not the complete campaign though... I got all 3 of the games 😅
I am kind of disappointed I didn't know that lol. I am a huge Blizzard fan. I really enjoyed Diablo 3 and Hearthstone. I really liked Heroes of the Storm when it was popular too.
Kind of random but I am pretty bummed out that Microsoft owns Blizzard now.
I played a lot of heroes of the storm too when it was still active and maintained! Best Nova EU here 😂
It was super disappointing already when blizzard was bought by Activision, but Microsoft Jesus, it's like selling to soul to the devil
Quiero jugar 🥹
Are there any games you want to play in particular?
If people actually started playing games together that would actually be pretty cool
Amigo me gustaría sprinterlan pero no tengo ni idea como empezar ..no.soy muy tecnológico , de hecho llegué a Hive por casualidad , soy obrero en mi país ..y apenas estudio informática , jugué atary hace añooos 🥹

I love games but I couldn't say that I'm good even after playing for years, I would be like watching a beginner play, that's how bad I am, still could I post in the community?😇
I usually play web3 games, but I like games usually bullet hell, Osu, MMOs but don't have much time to play it. If I can participate by interacting with the posts it would be nice :)
