In the gaming world, there are a few who have the skills of a gaming prodigy, a god of gaming if you will. They are unique with their skills, always overpowering their opponents. Some of them are egotistical, and some celebrate in silence. They make their names known and gamers are aware of their existence. Most of us in the world are oblivious to the prowess these gamers hold. How do most of us react when faced against an opponent as great as a god, when we are sure in ourselves that they are just mortal? We accuse, having this firm belief that they must have bested us by some sort of illegal contraption. The worst part about it is that these accusers do not know when to stop running their mouths.
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.
a gaming god, but i'm pretty damn good at all of the games that I play online. (44 win streak in COD4!) I can definitely relate to this article because every single time my friends and I beat the crap out of people online, as soon as we get back to the lobby I get called a cheater! Never fails.
gaming god could actually be a gaming devil! that's funny!
The best is when people lame lag.
Moddes and cheaters ruin it for all, that is where the accusers get the excuses from.
True skill always reigns supreme.
You make a good point in the article - it would be in everyone's interests people would just ignore it and resign themselves to the fact that there is always someone better than they are and its darn near impossible to prove one way or the other if the person is actually cheating.
Best just to save your breath and blood pressure by calmly ignoring it and moving on.
