"You may have seen it already, but this video featuring Geoff Keighley (quite possibly the face of game journalism) surrounded by Halo 4 advertisement hurts, it hurts bad.
This one really hits ya right in the feels, as those whipper snappers on the webernet say. For a long time I myself have looked at Mr. Keighley as a little too big for comfort when it comes to game journalists but even so he seemed cool. Like the kinda guy that, while clearly chasing the money, could not be directly bought off by a game publisher. Unfortunately I was wrong, dead wrong. A man in Geoff’s position should know how taking an interview sitting next to Halo 4 Mountain Dew is going to look to the public, and how detrimental that is to not only his own reputation but the reputation of every single game jurno."
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
