  • Some vaccine are oral based (but as a liquid, not as pill). We don’t use them in the West as we have robust viccine that are injection based. But those vaccine requires a way more robust supply chain than many third world countries has, so oral vaccine, while not as effective as injection based vaccine, are used there.
    Problem with oral vaccine is that most pathogens are killed by the digestive system so the only one that could be made as a pill would be those who already are acclimated to such a harsh environment (so gut microbiology).
    There are very few digestive disease that would allow for such vaccine vector to be developed, the only one that could these last few decade would be Ebola. But for such a deadly disease (90% mortality if I remember well), the medical community would prioritize the most effective way, which would be injection.

    That’s indeed what we asked to do next time for big events. But when no such big event occurs, it’s OK.

    In my opinion, the following trailers are acceptable :

    • Announcement of a new game -> so we can start talking about that game
    • Announcement of end of early access or of game release (like Hades 2 recently) -> So we can talk about the game at its release state
    • Major update of updates of a game (as soon as it isn’t too often) -> So we can discuss how that specific update make that game evolve, for better or worse. I’d honestly still prefer those one to be kept to their dedicated communities, but one from time to time won’t kill anyone.

    Globally, that’s also a way to advertise dedicated communities for that specific game, so I think that’s alright.

    We’ll discuss all of this with the incoming community rules update.
