Can you promote in r/indiangaming?

/r/IndianGaming — For discussions related to the Indian gaming scenario, from video games in general, how we procure them to how we play them. Pretty much anything in and around videogames and its intersection with India or Indian-ness.

The short answer

Do not post unsolicited promotions; respond helpfully to leads, disclose affiliation briefly if relevant, and only share product/price links in the designated sale threads following their checklist and with mod/ community expectations in mind.

What works here

  • Answer questions and give help on gaming topics
  • Participate normally without promoting a product
  • Post in SALE threads that follow the provided checklist
  • Use build/hardware help threads following their required format

What gets posts removed

  • Unsolicited self-promotion, referrals, or commercial posts
  • Posting low-effort or promotional content
  • Linking to piracy or illegal content
  • DM/PM solicitation of users for sales

Low-effort/commercial removals
