It’s not unusual to find an individual spending his free time playing video games. I know that after class, I like to unwind by turning on my Xbox and playing a few games of FIFA – and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! However, some people take it way too far – to the point that it’s almost disturbing.
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 played socom2 for a whole summer, im talking every single day the first thing i did when i woke up was turn the tv on (left the ps2 on, on the lobby screen...) and play till 4 in the morning, woke up @ around 10-12 and did the same thing every day for almost three months.
but come to think of it, i dont ever remember not playing games, practically, since i was at least 3. and nowadays im playng games not only when im home but everywhere i go thanks to the vita (back then it was the gameboys and game gear-----> ds n psp). i use to fake being sick as much as possible to stay home from school and play spyro. videogames and pinball machines was just a part of who i was and what i am today.
Wow that is alot. I use to play alot as well before I got married. LOL
I just think that too many people are trying to do everything with gaming, owning as many games and systems as possible. Unless you work for the industry, it's not a realistic approach, and yes, even deadly.
Moderation in all things.
time spent having fun is not time wasted. If you've the time, the resources, and the desire, game to your hearts content. It is your life, not someone elses
This is a pretty pretentious article. -_-
"i don't know if I should envy that amount of free time or feel sad that they spend it playing video games"
Um, who is looking for this guy's approval on how to spend their free time?
