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.

Sony gave me a happy life with Playstation. God bless them.
video games had made my life happier on down times.
They are seen in the media in a negative light, but there are plenty of good things being done in the gaming industry.
I really like this article, and I know where the author is coming from.
There's nothing quite like being immersed in a world where you're the HERO instead of just another loser.
It's another reason I'm glad graphics are improving in such a way as to correctly capture facial expression and AI personalities.
Side note: I also like anime shows for this reason, because they always deal with extreme emotion and heroism. Some anime really hits home, because I love seeing the incredible strength of characters, and also the strength of their relationships to one another.
Gaming is literally a way of life. There were various times over the many years where I was pretty depressed, and gaming, music, and cartoons I used to watch would usually lift me out of those downpoints or at least make me feel better. Being able to be completely and utterly immersed in something like this is great treatment for some cases of depression, I'd say.
