One Hit Pixel: "Let’s face it. Most sites around this sort of time focus on their Game of the Year content, rounding up the best of the best – heck, we did. The New Year is most certainly a time of reflection, but we need not just reflect on what is the best. Some sites also look at the worst as well, but what about individual elements of each game. Which game surprised us? Which game made us angry? Which game advanced something in our industry the most? I’ll be answering some of those questions, including which game made me rock out this year, with the first Pure Waffle Alternative Game of the Year Awards 2012 – hosted on One Hit Pixel. There’s a lot to cover, so without further ado: here are the alternative awards of 2012 that may or may not be worth receiving. Let’s dive in shall we?"
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.
