Ex: "Still, if you still prefer to buy games the old fashioned way, here are ten things you should probably know about the world of video game retail that you might not have already known. All these facts have been verified by either online reports or the grumblings of a host of disgruntled employees who prefer to remain anonymous."
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.
I don't shop at LameStop anymore because all the employees there are big Sony fanboys who keep trying to convince me to buy a Ps3. Which is ridiciulous lol.
I understand stores need to make money, but it's pretty obnoxious to charge like $200 for a HDMI cable taht you can get online for $10.
There's a difference between making a profit and exploiting consumer ignorance.
I did know that Gamestop employees could check out games, but I didn't know they took NEW games displayed on the shelf. But I figured they weren't really NEW since they were already opened and the disc was in a sleeve in a drawer. I sorta put two and two together. Doesn't bother me.
As long as the game works, I don't care.
this is an aweful and boring article
