What is 404Nerds: The Social Platform for Gamers?
404Nerds is the new social space engineered to bridge the gap between game developers, designers, and the passionate players who fuel the industry. We replace viral noise with deep, curated discussions. Finally, a feed that surfaces post-mortems, design philosophy, and genuine community feedback, not just meme spam. Share your latest prototype, find playtesters, and connect with the industry’s most creative minds. Join us for the Early Access launch!
