Yahoo: "Despite good intentions, some games push all the wrong buttons. And with a new Grand Theft Auto hitting the kid-friendly Nintendo DS this week, another firestorm of controversy could be on the horizon. Brace yourself with this look back at some of the touchiest titles in gaming history."
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.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
No Carmageddon?
That was the first game ever to be banned in the UK, the ban was lifted not so long after but it was still the first
That was kind of a weak list.
LittleBigPlanet never had the chance to be controversial. The lyrics were noticed before the game released.
I've always been curious as to why some games are 'controversial', because as far as I'm concerned in order for something to be controversial it has to be between gamers. I do not give a care what people who would not play a video game regardless of its content think about video games.
I did notice however that Yahoo is reporting the false information about "Fox News" going on the attack against Mass Effect. In so much as having one person, on one show, who does not work for Fox News, express a negative and inaccurate opinion about Mass Effect I hardly think this qualifies as "Fox News" going on the attack.
