With the death of Michael Jackson this week, tributes have poured out from every section of the community. Gameztraffic explores whether or not Jackson deserves a gaming tribute, focusing on the self styled King of Pop's involvement with games such as Moonwalker arcade in the 80s through to space channel 5 and Ready to Rumble Boxing; and asks if a game tribute is appropriate or a shameless cash in.
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.
NO BUT BILLY MAYS SURE DOES.

Why not? He created some amazing music.
I think it is very possible that we'll see a SIngstar version with hs music in it, to name but one of many possible music titles that could utilize his music.
They would make the next Singstar a Michael Jackson edition,EVERYONE will want it(I'm not a fan of Singstar but I wouldn't even think twice about buying a Michael Jackson themed game).And it wouldn't be such a big issue licensing wise because the King of Pop was under Sonys music umbrella.
...please make it happen Sony!
all of his videos are in VidZone on the PSN.. surely it can't be hard to make a Singstar: Micheal Jackson.. boy would that sell
