This idea that one system can be better than all the others is something that causes much unnecessary strife and conflict that is deteriorating relations within the gaming community."
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 usually go in always thinking friendly rivalry, really drives me to talk shit when I hear dudes in Call of Duty take the fucken game so serious.
I personally don't play multiplayer games as much anymore, give me a good story, the only online aspect i enjoy is a co-op inclusion in singleplayer game.
Back in the day I'd be ready to say that PC was the most powerful gaming platform out there. I mean, it was getting polygonal and "3D" games before the consoles were able to handle it, but these days it is a much closer race.
In this current age I think consoles are pretty close to PC games and unfortunately a lot of PC gamers are now stuck with console ports! I think it's fine for someone to prefer a PC or 360 or PS3 but there's no reason to go shoving it in everyone else's face. Preference is just what each person chooses and as long as we enjoy the games who cares which is the "best" platform?
I have to say I feel like there is a bit of PC elitism these days. They always go on about graphics and how plebby we are with 5 year old hardware.
Personally I like using my console, throw the disc in and off we go, no worries about settings or compatibility or anything. Its all good.
And lol @ glorious PC gaming master race and console peasant...
I do own a gaming PC which I put together with a friend a few years ago but since moving, I rarely use the thing.
I like PC gaming, it was where I really started, using my brothers to play Doom and Duke Nukem and uh..Theme Hospital. But getting my first console and simplicity of it, put a game in and you're off. If there's a problem with the PC when installing a game, it can be a number of issues which can be frustrating to solve, and I'm not the most tech savvy of people.
But hey, the article is right, to each his own really. You want to play on PC or console, thats your choice, we're all game lovers here.
