On Wednesday, more than a million Xbox 360 owners will be able to download and play an advance version of the system's biggest game of 2007, "Halo 3." Last Friday, a select few hundred were allowed to walk into a Manhattan nightclub and play it then and there.
Reporters and press people were there, athletes and celebrities made the guest list for a "Halo 3" free-for-all at the Blvd club on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The eight-hour event started at 3 p.m. in the darkened club. There were couches and "Halo 3" signs. There was a miniature Master Chief helmet in one glass display case and some Xbox 360s painted by Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson in others. More importantly, there were flat-screen TVs running the multiplayer-only "Halo 3" beta and employees from the game's development studio, Bungie, on hand to explain the three-week public trial of the game - and to inform MTV News of the three things that everyone who plays the beta must do in it.

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.
