Gamer Limit writes: "It needs to be noted that there is a wide difference between passion and obsession. Passion can be loosely described as the emotional strength one might give to a particular subject, such as music, poetry or in our case, gaming. Obsession, on the other hand, lends itself to the more creepy, stalkerish aspects of passion, leading people to do strange and awful things in their quest for satisfaction. Gaming is no different to any other hobby or sub-culture where those who may find themselves crossing the invisible line from enjoying something to emotionally destroying something."
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.

A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
I'll never let myself become TOO obsessed. Once I start losing my girlfriend or my family lock me in a cold, dark room against my will, I'll probably take a long look at myself!
But, I am obsessed, to a degree.
I'm happy I kicked my WoW habit a long time again. Unfortunately, The Old Republic is starting to look really, really good.
I can totally dig this guy's WoW setup.
