Having refused to purchase the video game console since its introduction in 1994, local parents John and Melissa Gionda confirmed Thursday that they had finally caved in and bought a Sony PlayStation 1 for their 33-year-old son, Daniel.
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.

EDIT: I think there might be a little Satire built in to this article...
This article is from the Onion so it`s probably not true, but thought I`d share.
My parents would never purchase games for me after my Vic-20 which they bought for me and my brother when I was six or seven. When they eventually picked up a Commodore 64 for us, instead of buying us games they would buy us a copy of Compute`s Gazette magazine which often included game code and say "If you want a game, enter the code" so I spent a good part of my childhood entering and debugging code on a C64 and figuring out how to modify the game when I grew bored. We picked up a used Atari 2600 at some point at a farm auction that had a few games but my sibling didn`t have a game console until I bought them a TurboGrafix 16 for Christmas when I was away at my first year of university. Today I`m retired from the brokerage industry and attempting to make my way with a game studio I started.
The point of my story is my parents were cheap bastards.
well atleast he got it
Lucky SOB. I'll trade him my PS4.
I want my N64 dammit
Had to wait from SNES to GC. Child abuse I tell ya (jk)
