5 Reasons Why Gamers Need To Unite

Pwnagraphic of RealGamerNewz writes, "We have come a long way from the era of gaming when it was looked at as something kids or nerds partake in. The gaming industry is a juggernaut when it comes to entertainment even out grossing Hollywood in revenue. Video games captivate us, allow us to be heroes, villains, and teach us to use teamwork with perfect strangers. There is no color, or religion, or differences. Video games bring people together in ways that the real world can’t even achieve. Yeah, you got your trash talking, but that comes with the territory much like it does with football, basketball, or any sport for that matter. So here’s a few reasons why PC vs Console vs Console vs The other console that everyone forgot about, should be a thing of the past..."

A lot of the console wars is just about some people can afford only one console therefore they need to justify they made the right choice and need to bash other consoles

See, this is what I don't understand about the fanboy mentality. The way most normal people justify their purchase of one product over another is by actively enjoying that product. But fanboys take it further and slam competition. I have never understood how hatred of one product justifies your love of another product and makes you enjoy it more.

I understand the money thing completely, but that's an excuse. If you buy a Ford, does hating a Chevy make that Ford drive better or get better gas mileage? Will it make your family survive a head-on collision? Of course not, but the fanboy mentality says otherwise.

Whether its politics, religion, sports, or whatever, there will always be people who put others down for making a different choice. Its just a cheap way to boost self esteem for some people. They tell another person that he or she is stupid for making a decision differently then they did, and somehow it makes them feel superior. Its really rediculous to pull this crap out about anything like entertainment, because there are not many things more trivial than something like what console you play on.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

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.

anast1d 5h ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk1d 5h ago

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.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

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.
