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.

too little too late for the DS. Hopefuly this will help the DSi's future...
i barely play my ds, i gave it to my brother
... is because of the R4 card. Many people who otherwise wouldn't even have thought about buying a DS, bought one cause they know they can just download games for it. Same with the PSP btw.
I can understand Nintendo's wish to keep all those R4 cards from the public, cause it's hurting software sales, but you can't neglect the fact that if the DS wouldn't have had that R4 card, many people wouldnt have bought the system in the first place, meaning no software sales from that people what-so-ever.
Those people who would only buy a DS (or PSP) that's 'modded', will still only do so when it comes with the R4 card. I'm pretty sure that still won't be too hard, even after these actions.
R4 Defiantly is popular, my little sister even uses one o.O
lol i ordered an r4 on tuesday but its alredy been dispatched
