The results of the "Do You Buy, Rent, or Trade" poll are in, and while the majority of you decided to looky-loo, many of you actually voted. The results might surprise you. Also, TGR welcomes Nintendo DS fans to our little slice life.
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.

A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
The results seem about right to me. I do a mixture of all three, with an emphasis on trading.
i only buy certain games on launch now....cod4 at launch was a terrible experience for me, so i wont be buying the next one
i will be getting r2 and maybe lbp, depends on levels/money lol
The vote is somewhat inconclusive without knowing where the voters are from, seeing as game rental (and trade I suppose) is not available everywhere.
How do you "only trade" games? Wouldn't you have to buy them first? Or do you steal games then trade them?
It's a poll with 24 respondents.
Which means no matter what the results show, any semblance to how the real world actually works is entirely coincidental.
