Cases. Those incredibly thin, green plastic cases. It’s what protects your game from dust and scratches. When you ship your game, it’s the case that’s supposed to save the disc from cracking in two. Cases are there to protect your game. Cases are a secondary, some might say, tertiary part of the gaming experience. Cases are something you rip open to get to the game itself. After all, you play the disc, not the case. And yet some people treat their game cases as if they were the game itself.
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 buy new and used games and I do not believe in true collector. I do not like steel cases, but I also do not believe that makes me any less of a collector. If there's a word that best describes me that would be a custom collector. I hate thin cases, so I replace them. I hate steel cases, so I sell them and replace them with original cases. I hate BW manuals, so I replace them with the color manuals that are only present in LE. As a collector, I prefer the much organize and space efficient approach. I like to see a specific order in my collection. In all honesty, a lot of the LE items are not that well packaged or designed.
I only have one steel case and I love it. It is for MW3.
I have a pretty nice collection, closing in on 250 Xbox 360 games alone. I don't like the eco friendly cases that they've come out with, the games can crack because there is no support on the back. I've had to rebuy games because of that.
I have about 20 steel book cased games as well, all the Halo's and Gears games of course.
As a collector, and a gamer in general, I have avoided Xbox like the plague. Buy quality. Buy Japanese.
