Games in Asia says: "Therefore, it is in public interest that I present to you the four kinds of gamers who should take an arrow to the knee. Or even better, to the face."
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.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
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'm a mixture of all, should I shoot myself on the foot?
Somehow, i have a feeling if i told someone they should shoot themselves in the comment section of N4G, i would be insta-banned. However, this article blatantly tells a large percentage of gamers to shoot themselves and the article has nearly passed submission.
I'm a completionists, enjoy a challenge and love co-op. Eliminate all that from gaming, then it might as well be non-existent to me.
Suggesting I should shoot myself because I enjoy my games differently than you is extreme. I know that the article is trying to be "cheeky" but i feel like the Title could have been less extreme and still have been able to be "fun."
Sadists? Shouldn't this title be "Masochists"?
BTW, nice plot twist at the end.
If you feel compelled to write an article like this, get out of gaming journalism. You just don't get it and the gaming world doesn't need your input.
Edit - If I hadn't seen KentBlake's comment above I wouldn't have made it to the end of the article. You might want to think about how you word your headline and the beginning of your articles.
I've tried to shoot myself but It just bounced off me ...how can you kill that ,that has no life to begin with :-/
