Lack of Honor in the Industry
Cordova, TN; April 18, in the year of our Lord 2014--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is discussing the Lack of Honor in the
Industry. Yes it is true the bad experiences stick out in our
minds much more than the good ones. Certain companies have the
same problems no matter who is at the helm. No matter what
contacts Family Friendly Gaming may have – certain places play
the same mind games over and over again. Certain companies break
promises as quickly as they make them. Certain companies have a
twisted perspective of what Family Friendly Gaming should do for
them.
Like we have talked about many times in the past – Family
Friendly Gaming makes many of these companies a ton of money.
Our stories, recommendations, and approvals turns into thousands
of dollars for some companies. Other companies rake in millions
of dollars thanks to the tireless work of everyone at Family
Friendly Gaming. We get no kick backs. We get no financial thank
yous from the vast majority of these companies. So they take all
that money we make them for granted. What Family Friendly Gaming
giveth it can also take away. And we have too. Companies that
decide to only produce macabre and morbid products. We ignore
them. Companies publish garbage and we review it as such.
Companies have gone bankrupt, and franchises have been canceled.
Thanks in part to the sword we wield. It is a dangerous power to
hold. One that comes with a great responsibility.
We are always striving to do the right thing here at Family
Friendly Gaming. If we give our word then we do everything
within our power to make it come true. It amazes me that as
companies get bigger they forget words like honor, trust,
loyalty, compassion, and truth. Smaller companies have a way
better track record of keeping their word. Ensenasoft, Mojang
and Playjam are companies that have kept their word and proven
they care about people. I thought about calling out a few of the
bad big companies, but decided against it. They know who they
are. They could learn how to behave thanks to companies like
Ensensasoft, Mojang and Playjam. They could do the right thing
instead of worship even more profit. Thing is they would get
more profit if they started to do the right thing. I hope the
bad companies and their ilk listen. I hope they turn it around.
I hope they embrace honor.
God bless,
Paul Bury
