"A 18-year-old was arrested this week after trying to kill his father strangling him with the cable of his videoconsole gamepad.

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.

I agree with the writer of this article..." I don't approve of his actions, nor do I think I could do something like that but there are times when I have gone so far in a game and then somehow the power cuts or you lose you save game. I just freak out and start shouting at the nearest person...just shouting and hitting my controller on the side of my bed...I would never attack someone.
that's the beauty of checkpoints , your game will be saved automatically !!
and even if the game doesn't have checkpoints , there are always save points , I mean how much progress he really lost with save points and checkpoints very much every where in any game !!
I think the kid was angry because of the action itself , not that he lost his progress
